Availability may depend on plan, channel, provider and configuration. Where a checkmark would oversimplify, the cell explains the boundary.

Reviewed against Respond.io's official public pages on 20 August 2026. Recheck before buying because plans change.
Respond.io publishes a broader channel catalogue—including TikTok, LINE, Viber, WeChat and Telnyx VoIP—and enterprise options. If those channels or its global operating model are central to your requirements, it may be the better fit.
Each capability supports a different part of the customer workflow.
An AI teammate
Answers from maintained knowledge in a configured language, runs enabled actions, and hands the conversation to a human under your rules.
Sell and fulfil in chat
Keep a catalogue with stock, let an AI agent or your team take the order in the conversation, then move it from new to delivered and message the customer at each step.
CRM & pipeline
Keep contact history beside separate deals, values, outcomes and the lifecycle stages your team defines.
Flows & automation
Use visual triggers, conditions and actions to route, qualify, reply and escalate without writing code.
Campaign outreach and replies
Send approved WhatsApp templates to filtered audiences, then handle campaign replies in the shared inbox.
Insight, not guesswork
Review conversation volume, response and resolution times, team workload and the report filters available to your plan.
Lead capture and follow-up
Keep enquiries from connected channels with the contact record, then use configured AI, routing, deals and tasks to manage the next step.
Organised for busy periods
Use ownership, team routing, statuses and workload reporting to keep peak-hour conversations visible and accountable.
Sign-in and access controls
Use encrypted connections, optional two-factor sign-in and passkeys, roles, phone masking and private-file checks as part of your security process.
Evaluate it when you need its broader published channel set, calling options, multiple workspaces, enterprise controls or a global multilingual operating model. Plan eligibility and usage tiers still need to be checked against your exact deployment.
Export contacts for a mapped CSV import, but do not assume conversation history, automations or every field will transfer. For WhatsApp, verify Meta business access, number and WABA eligibility, provider billing and template behaviour before scheduling a tested cutover.
The products have different scope, plan gates, currencies and usage limits. Compare the exact seats, active contacts, channels, automation, AI and provider charges you need rather than treating the starting price as the total cost.
Plans include monthly active-contact allowances. Reaching one warns you — it never cuts a conversation off mid-thread.
Treat WhatsApp provider or Meta charges as separate from the workspace subscription. The billing route can depend on the connected provider and account setup, so confirm it for both products before comparing totals.
Use Labeeq’s website widget or a secondary channel for a side-by-side workflow test. Do not assume one WhatsApp API number can be connected to both platforms at once; plan coexistence or migration against your Meta and provider setup.
Use the website widget or a secondary channel during the free trial. Plan any main WhatsApp-number migration separately.
