respond.io is a AI-powered customer conversation platform with a shared team inbox. 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)?
ChatSense combines AI agents, CRM and scheduling on official WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, with assisted onboarding, a live demo and a 90-day setup guarantee. All via the official API approved by Meta (WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger) — with no risk of your number being banned.

Prices and features change. Always confirm current details on each tool's website.
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. The monthly fee is fixed, with the plan's conversation allowance; WhatsApp template messages are billed by Meta directly to your account.
Because it protects your number. Unofficial solutions (WhatsApp Web/QR Code) can be blocked by Meta at any time, taking down your sales channel.
