Pricing, tier by tier
Chatfuel bills per active contact (anyone who interacts within 30 days), with unlimited messages per contact — then WhatsApp fees that Meta charges on top. Listed plans run roughly $39–69/mo depending on contact volume. SYNQ AI charges one price by AI-message volume with every channel, the CRM and Sherlock included and WhatsApp included — no per-contact scaling.
Channels: Telegram vs TikTok
The channel line-ups differ. Chatfuel covers WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok (plus a widget) but not Telegram. SYNQ AI covers Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook (plus a widget) on every plan — but not TikTok. If TikTok is central to you, Chatfuel fits; if Telegram is where your customers are, SYNQ does what Chatfuel can’t.
Both have AI — the difference is what it does
Both bundle AI. Chatfuel positions it as an assistant on top of a chatbot builder. SYNQ AI is an agent that carries the conversation to a paid invoice and keeps one memory of the customer across channels, with a CRM built for the AI. If you want an Instagram/TikTok assistant, Chatfuel is a fit; if you want an agent that closes the deal, that’s SYNQ.
Who each one is for
Choose SYNQ AI if you…
- need Telegram (Chatfuel doesn’t have it)
- want an agent that closes to payment with a built-in CRM
- want one flat price, not per-contact scaling + WhatsApp fees
- sell across several messengers, not just IG/WhatsApp
Choose Chatfuel if you…
- put TikTok and Instagram at the center
- want unlimited messages per contact
- prefer one simple contact-based plan
- don’t need Telegram or a built-in AI-CRM
Where Chatfuel wins (honestly)
- It covers TikTok, which SYNQ AI does not — if TikTok DMs matter, Chatfuel fits.
- Unlimited messages per contact and a simple single-plan structure.
- Mature on the Instagram/Meta side.
You never touch a setting — a second AI runs and improves your agent
That’s the real difference from Chatfuel’s bot builder. There’s nothing to configure: tell SYNQ about your business, comment on its first replies, and it’s answering across every messenger from day one. From there a second AI keeps building and improving your agent — you just nudge it in plain words, even by voice from your phone.
Live from day one — nothing to configure
Describe your business and comment on the first answers — that’s the whole setup. SYNQ builds the funnel, the stage prompts and your knowledge base itself, keeps it current, and learns your managers’ style from their real dialogs.
Try it before a single real client
Run an autotest to watch how the agent handles specific situations — objections, edge cases, tricky questions — without waiting for live clients. Then fix its answers just by commenting on them.
Fix any reply right in the chat
Open a live client chat, tap the agent’s message, and see why it answered that way — then correct it, and the fix carries into every conversation from there on.
Steer it by voice, from anywhere
Send a voice note from your phone and the agent shifts the direction of a specific conversation — or reaches back out to a lead who went quiet on its own to remind them or reschedule a meeting.
Coming soon When the agent is missing a fact, it asks your managers in a work chat — you answer, and it returns to the customer and picks the conversation right back up.
