ManyChat is a chatbot and conversational marketing tool (strong on Instagram/Messenger). Before choosing any alternative, there's one decisive question: does the tool use the official WhatsApp API — or does it run over WhatsApp Web (unofficial, subject to bans)?
Beyond chatbot flows, ChatSense delivers service + sales + CRM powered by generative AI, on official WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger — with assisted deployment. All via the official API approved by Meta (WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger) — with no risk of your number being banned.
The #1 criterion: an official (certified) API protects your number; solutions running over WhatsApp Web can be banned. ChatSense is approved through Meta App Review.
Per-message models penalize businesses that grow. ChatSense doesn't charge per message — AI, CRM and omnichannel are included.
Check whether generative AI (that understands and sells) is included or reserved for higher plans. With ChatSense, it comes from day one, with assisted deployment.
Everything you need in one simple, powerful platform.
Official WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger — no risk of number bans, unlike solutions via WhatsApp Web.
AI agents reply, qualify, and hand off to a human with full context when needed.
Your whole team works from the same official number, with queues and automatic distribution.
Every conversation becomes a lead with pipeline, tags, and a complete customer timeline.
The AI works overnight, weekends, and during peaks — you never lose a sale to a missed reply.
Our team sets up channels, agents, and flows for your segment. You just operate.
Yes. We're approved through Meta App Review and operate WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger via the official API — without the ban risk of solutions based on WhatsApp Web.
Migration is handled by our team during assisted deployment: we set up channels, AI agents and flows, and help bring over your data — without any downtime.
No. There's no charge based on message volume; AI, CRM and omnichannel are already included. Plans limit users, channels and active agents, not conversations.
Because it protects your number. Unofficial solutions (WhatsApp Web/QR Code) can be blocked by Meta at any time, taking down your sales channel.
