Manychat
Chat marketing automation platform for Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, TikTok, Telegram, SMS and email — automating DMs, comments, broadcasts and lead capture.
What it does
Manychat is a chat marketing automation platform for Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, TikTok, Telegram, SMS and email — automating DMs, comments, broadcasts and lead capture. It is best for creators and brands whose sales happen in DMs and comments and want those conversations automated. Its key strength is channel breadth: seven channels in one automation tool. The honest limitation is that the free plan is small — 25 active contacts a month across two channels — so growing accounts move to paid plans quickly. Pricing starts free, then Essential at $17/month ($14/month billed annually) for 250 contacts, with Pro and higher tiers adding WhatsApp, SMS, email and AI. A 14-day trial is offered on Essential and Pro. Note the dollar figures come from multiple independent sources that read the official page in October–November 2026, as the price table did not render in the page fetch. Rated 4.5 on G2 (165 reviews).
