AI Chatbots

From Free (Chatfuel Light: Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp automations, shared inbox and flow builder, no AI, no credit card). AI PRO is $69/mo billed monthly or $49/mo billed annually (29% off — the pricing page opens on the yearly tab, so $49 shows first) with unlimited active contacts. WhatsApp adds Meta's own messaging fees on top; AI replies have a fair-use allowance.
