When not to choose CRPRO

CRPRO is built for selling on WhatsApp. It is not the best choice when:

  • you need voice calls, RCS, Telegram or Messenger on the same contract: CRPRO is built around WhatsApp, with Instagram Direct and email;
  • you require a native iPhone app from the App Store: CRPRO runs in the browser and can be installed as an app (PWA);
  • your team only answers messages, with no sales pipeline or deal tracking: a simpler customer-service tool may be enough.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to ManyChat?▾
For teams that sell on WhatsApp and want the pipeline and the conversation in the same product, CRPRO is the alternative that brings both together, with unlimited users from Growth up. The other options on this page serve different profiles, and the "Best for" line of each one sums up who it is for.
How much does ManyChat cost?▾
The "How much ManyChat costs" table on this page lists the public ManyChat plans, with the official source and the date checked, and puts CRPRO in the same table. Competitor prices change without notice: confirm on the vendor's site before deciding.
Is CRPRO a good alternative to ManyChat?▾
Yes, for businesses that sell on WhatsApp and want every conversation tied to a deal on a kanban pipeline. ManyChat automates the capture; CRPRO runs what comes after it. Every lead becomes a deal on the kanban pipeline with a value in reais per stage, milestones for qualified, proposal, won and lost, an alert when it passes the stage deadline, and won revenue, average deal size and conversion rate on the dashboard — with the whole sales team on the same number (2 numbers and unlimited users for R$ 249,90; the entry plan is Start) and native Asaas, Google Drive and Meta Ads integrations, with Bling and Tiny over n8n. A fixed price in reais, with no exchange rate in the middle.
Can I switch from ManyChat to CRPRO without changing my number?▾
Yes. CRPRO connects the WhatsApp number you already use through a guided flow and imports contacts from a spreadsheet (CSV). ManyChat's history, templates and automations do not come over automatically: confirm with the vendor what can be exported before ending the contract.
How long does migrating from ManyChat to CRPRO take?▾
In CRPRO, connecting the number and importing contacts is done in the dashboard itself, with a guided flow, and fits within the 7-day free trial. The total time depends on what needs to come out of ManyChat: exporting history, templates and automations depends on the vendor.
When is it worth staying with ManyChat?▾
When your operation looks like this: Individual marketers or small teams focused on cross-channel funnel automation. In that case, compare carefully before migrating.
Do CRPRO and ManyChat have a free trial?▾
Yes, both. CRPRO has a 7-day trial with no credit card, and ManyChat also offers a no-card trial: you can test both side by side before deciding.
