Chatbot builders sell you a toolkit.
LeadBot sells you the salesperson.
Wati, AiSensy, Interakt (Jio Haptik) and Gallabox are WhatsApp Business Platform tools built around broadcasts, shared inboxes and flow-builder chatbots, with AI answers as a paid add-on and pricing per user seat. LeadBot is an AI sales agent: no flows to build, an AI that reads your documents and rules and sells like a member of your team across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and email, priced per lead with CRM, quotations, bookings and payments included.
Not a chatbot.
A salesperson.
Replies. Documents. Quotations. Follow-ups. Pipeline.

Where each one fits.
Choose a chatbot platform if broadcasting to tens of thousands of contacts is your main job and you have someone to build and maintain flows. Choose LeadBot if the money is in the enquiries — and you want them answered, qualified, quoted and followed up the way a good salesperson would, with the capacity of a full desk behind it.
A full sales desk on every enquiry.
Around the clock.
Three shifts of attention, seven days a week, in English or Arabic — every enquiry answered within seconds, every document sent, every follow-up kept. Your team walks into conversations that are already warm.
Instant, in their language
A considered first reply within seconds — at 2 am, on a Friday, during Eid — in the customer's own language.
The discipline of your best salesperson
Qualifies gently, sends the right proposal, quotes on your letterhead, books the viewing, follows up until there is an answer.
The memory of a back office
Every conversation, document and next step recorded in one pipeline your team works from.
One subscription. The output of three shifts. From AED 499 a month.
Questions people ask when comparing.
Are these prices current?
They are the published list prices on each vendor's pricing page as seen in September 2026, mostly for annual or quarterly billing; vendors change plans often, so check their pages before deciding. LeadBot prices are the ones on this site.
Can LeadBot send broadcasts?
Yes, with approved WhatsApp templates, from the Business plan — to your own leads and customers. It is not built for cold bulk lists.
Does LeadBot need a chatbot flow builder?
No. There are no flows. It reads your documents, rules and FAQs and answers as a person would; you correct it from the dashboard and the correction applies from the next message.
Can I migrate from one of these tools?
Yes. Your WhatsApp Business number moves with you (it belongs to your Meta Business account); export your contacts and import them as leads. We help on a free setup call.
What about Meta's own message fees?
The same on every platform: Meta bills template messages sent outside the 24-hour service window to your WhatsApp Business account; replies to customers who message you are free.
