ManyChat competitors and the best alternatives

$19/mo flows, AI from $49/mo, 7-day trial

FlowGent does not meter contacts. Starter is $19/month for flows and comment-to-DM with 0 AI credits. Hobby is $49/month for 2,000 AI message credits and 1 agent. Standard is $99/month for 4,000 credits and branding removal. Pro is $199/month for 8,000 credits and 3 agents. The agent answers from a knowledge base you add, and you can take over any chat. It connects through Meta's official Instagram and WhatsApp APIs.

Free, then Pro from €12.99/mo

Inrō's pricing page, checked October 15, 2026, lists a free plan at €0 with 100 active contacts a month, 3 automations, and 50 AI agent credits. Pro starts at €12.99 and says the price follows contacts you activate that month, with a 14-day Pro trial. Annual Pro is €1,249 for 10,000+ active contacts a month. A managed plan starts at €299/month. Inrō says it suits influencers and creators as well as brands. The bill moves with activity, which is the same kind of tradeoff as ManyChat, in euros.

Free (500 DMs), Pro $15/mo

Business US$18/mo billed yearly

Chatfuel's pricing page, checked October 15, 2026, describes it as an AI chatbot platform for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, and an official Meta Partner. Business is listed at US$18 per month billed yearly (US$216 a year). The page says every plan starts with a free trial and that usage limits apply. We did not use a month-to-month price from that view of the page. Chatfuel is a closer match than LinkDM or CreatorFlow if you want WhatsApp in the same builder.
