respond.io alternative
A respond.io alternative with an AI agent that knows your business
respond.io is a customer conversation platform that brings many messaging channels into one team inbox. Reacherly is built for businesses that sell in DMs: an AI agent answers WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook from your own products, prices and FAQs, and every conversation becomes a lead in a sales pipeline.
No credit card needed · 100 tokens to try it
Answers from your playbook
Products, prices, FAQs, tone and hand-over rules. The agent replies from what you give it, in the customer's language.
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook together
One inbox for DMs and comments on all three, through Meta's official APIs.
A CRM, not only a chat tool
Every chat becomes a lead with its stage, value and the post or ad it came from, plus deals, contacts and a sales dashboard.
Simple pricing
Social is $40 a month with an AI agent and 500 tokens. No per-contact pricing to watch.
