What does AI cost in ChatinFlow?

Whatever your AI provider charges for the replies, because ChatinFlow uses your own key and sells no credits. You can cap each key per day and per month, and the key pauses when it reaches the cap.

Can an agency use ChatinFlow?

Yes. Each client gets its own workspace with its own channels and team, all reachable from one login. Growth and Business include several workspaces, and you can copy one client's setup to the next or share it as a template.

Can I import my Chatfuel bot?

No, there is no automatic import. Rebuild your flows from templates or the quick builder, and import contacts from a CSV file.

Does ChatinFlow send WhatsApp conversions to Meta?

Yes, when you connect Meta's Conversions API, chat events such as a booking or a purchase can be sent back to your ads. It stays off until you connect it.

A Chatfuel alternative with AI on your key, not on credits.

Chatfuel sells AI as monthly credits inside its plans. ChatinFlow runs AI on your own provider key and bills by the conversations it answers. Here is how they compare and when Chatfuel makes more sense.

In short

How is ChatinFlow different from Chatfuel?

Both automate Instagram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp with AI. Chatfuel's plans include a monthly amount of AI credit and apply usage limits; its agency plan manages several companies. ChatinFlow uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Azure key, so AI costs what your provider charges, adds Telegram, Viber and website chat, and has a free plan to start on.

AI in ChatinFlow: Your own key, with daily and monthly limits you set
AI in Chatfuel: Monthly AI credits included in each plan
Extra channels: Telegram, Viber and website chat in ChatinFlow

Which one fits

An honest answer,
both ways.

Chatfuel is the better pick when

You are an agency that wants a dedicated account manager and bulk pricing for client bots.
You would rather not hold your own AI provider key and prefer credits bundled into the plan.
You already run a Chatfuel bot that works and only need Meta's three channels.

ChatinFlow fits better when

You already pay for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Azure and want AI to cost exactly that.
You want to start free and add Telegram, Viber or website chat next to Meta's channels.
You want bookings, a sales pipeline, satisfaction surveys and Shopify cart reminders in the same place as your flows.
