Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Boei different from other chat tools?

Boei combines an AI chatbot with 50+ channels (WhatsApp, forms, social media, phone, and more) in one widget. The AI works on your website and on WhatsApp — incoming WhatsApp messages get automatic AI replies and land in your shared inbox. The base plan is $8/month per domain. Add AI for $6/month. Most competitors focus on one channel, charge per seat, or need pricey add-ons for AI.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. Boei offers a 7-day free trial with full access to all features, including the AI chatbot. No credit card required.

Are these comparisons biased?

We try to be as honest as possible. Each comparison page shows what the competitor does well. We also list scenarios where we recommend choosing them over Boei. We update pages when competitors change their pricing or features.

Can I switch from another tool to Boei?

Yes. Boei installs in under 5 minutes with a single code snippet. You can run both tools side by side during your transition. Each comparison page includes migration tips for that tool.

Does Boei work on my platform?

Boei works on any website. That includes WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and 20+ other platforms. Install via a simple code snippet or dedicated plugin.

What if I need features Boei doesn't have?

We're upfront about our limits. Need enterprise ticketing, native mobile SDKs, or visual flow builders? Some competitors may fit better. Check the individual comparison pages for honest takes.
