The respond.io alternativefor teams of any size.
respond.io is built for high-volume WhatsApp sales. Lucía gives a team of one the same omnichannel agent: she answers, sells, takes payment and books, checks each claim before sending, and hands over with the case.

What changes with Lucía
respond.io's column quotes its own site, read on 3 November 2026: respond.io/ai-agents
| Yedran with Lucía | respond.io | Yedran with Lucía |
|---|---|---|
| The AI agent | Reads text, images, PDFs and voice notes; answers from approved sources only and hands off rather than guess. | The same reading, and every claim in a draft is checked by a second model against your documents before it leaves. |
| Who it is for | Its agent page says it is not for businesses under 500 conversations a month. | From one person: a trial with everything included, and seats added as the team grows. |
| Calls | WhatsApp Business calls, Messenger calls and VoIP in the same thread, and voice agents. | Your team takes WhatsApp and Zalo calls in the console, transcribed into the thread for Lucía to read. |
| Helpdesk | A team inbox with CRM sync and lead management. | A Gmail-style inbox, and Lucía also works inside Zendesk and HelpDesk if you keep one. |
When respond.io may suit you better
- You need an AI that speaks on the phone, not only a transcript of your team's calls.
- You run large broadcast campaigns on WhatsApp.
