SendPulse alternative: Andavor’s proprietary AI, trained for sales, guides each conversation
Andavor puts an AI attendant in your store, with proprietary AI trained for sales: it understands what the customer wants, uses your store’s knowledge and guides the conversation based on what each person needs, on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and your website chat. In Andavor’s app, by subscription, you follow the conversations, teach the AI and adjust what it does. SendPulse, according to its own website, is an email marketing and chatbot platform powered by AI, with an integrated CRM.
Try Andavor’s AI in your store
Andavor’s own AI is on every plan, and plans start at $20.00/month, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. On Personal, you get 14 days free to see the AI serving customers with your store’s catalog: the card goes in at sign-up, and nothing is charged during the trial. Start the 14-day trial.
What Andavor’s AI does
Every conversation takes a different path: some customers want to buy, others want to understand, compare or solve a problem. Andavor’s AI is its own and trained for sales, and runs on infrastructure operated by Andavor: conversation content isn’t sent to any third-party AI provider. It considers the context of each interaction, from a simple question to a buying decision, and follows the rules your store sets. In the conversation with your customer, it:
- Understands what the customer wrote and asks when information is missing.
- Follows the conversation: the chosen product, the ZIP code and the payment method stay organized, and the customer doesn’t have to repeat what they already said.
- Checks price and stock in your catalog before answering: no figure is written off the top of its head.
- On WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, builds the order with the items, shipping and total; once your carrier is integrated, it quotes real shipping by ZIP code.
- It builds the order and sends your store’s checkout link. Once your payment provider is integrated, it creates the charge in your own account, and the money goes straight to you. A payment below the total doesn’t complete the order.
- In the website chat, it answers questions with your real catalog and takes the customer to your store’s checkout.
- Answers during the hours you choose, which can be all day, including nights and weekends.
In Andavor’s app, by subscription, you follow and adjust everything, in your computer’s or phone’s browser:
- Follow conversations and orders, and see what the AI checked for each answer: price, shipping, order status.
- Teach the AI with your store’s website, documents and images. Only what you check goes into customer service.
- Take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook (Assumir conversa), and the AI stays quiet in it until you hand it back (Devolver para a IA).
- Ask your attendant, in an open conversation, where an answer came from; when you tell it what’s right, it proposes the fix where that information lives, and nothing changes until you apply it.
- Choose which channels it answers on, at what hours, and who it never answers.
It doesn’t make things up: price, stock and shipping come from a lookup in the system. When it passes the conversation to your team is up to you, in the Instructions.
Andavor and SendPulse side by side
| Criterion | Andavor | SendPulse |
|---|---|---|
| The AI that answers | Its own AI, trained for sales, on every plan and on infrastructure operated by Andavor. | An AI assistant and an AI Agent element in the flows, which answer beyond the ready-made flows, with instructions and reference content. The first 200 AI requests are free; after that, the API key of a ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or DeepSeek model applies, with tokens billed separately. |
| Price and stock | Checks your catalog before answering, with no figure off the top of its head: in a WooCommerce store, products come from the website; on other platforms, from the app’s Catalog. | Product cards and the CRM’s products, which WooCommerce can sync; availability through Google Sheets or an API request; the AI Agent searches the files you upload. |
| Order in the conversation | The AI builds the order with the items, shipping and total on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook; in the website chat, it takes the customer to your store’s checkout. | According to its e-commerce page, the chatbot shows products, helps the customer order and pay in the chat, and sends the deals to the CRM; with an MCP server, the AI Agent can create orders. |
| Shipping | On WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, once your shipping tool is integrated, the AI quotes real shipping by the customer’s ZIP code. | Through the flow’s API request, tied to another system; the online store builder has delivery methods. |
| Charge in your own account | On WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, once your payment provider is integrated, it creates the charge in your own account; the money goes straight to you, and a payment below the total doesn’t complete the order. | A payment button in the flow, from Pro up: the customer pays in the system you choose (its list includes payment providers), and the money goes to your account there. |
| Building flows | Not needed: you connect your channels and catalog and tell it how your store sells; a new rule is a text you change. | A drag-and-drop visual builder with ready-made templates; the AI Agent goes anywhere in the flow, and the AI can generate a flow from your description. |
| Website chat | Answers with your real catalog and takes the customer to your store’s checkout; it goes in with the plugin on WordPress and WooCommerce or a line of code on other platforms. | Live chat on your website, tied to the chatbots and the CRM, with a free WordPress plugin; 10,000 conversations free. |
| Channels | WhatsApp (official from Meta or by QR code), Instagram, Facebook (Messenger) and the website chat, on every plan. | WhatsApp (Meta’s official API), Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Telegram, Viber, email, SMS and website chat. |
| Starting price | $20.00/month on Personal, with WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat; the plan includes a monthly AI usage limit. | R$95 (Brazilian reais) a month on the chatbots Pro plan, up to 500 subscribers (R$76 a month, billed yearly); Basic is free. Email and CRM have their own plans. |
| How to start and free trial | Directly on the website, with no setup fee and no long-term contract; Personal comes with 14 days free, and nothing is charged during the trial. | Directly on the website, with a free plan that has no time limit and needs no card; the 7-day trial of the paid plans, on WhatsApp, asks for a card. |

When Andavor makes more sense
- In a clothing store, when “do you have it in M?” and “do you have it in another color?” need an answer with the stock of each product version, and “how much is shipping?” needs a quote by the customer’s ZIP code, once your shipping tool is integrated.
- In a phone store, when “do you have the 256 GB?” and “how many installments?” need the price and stock of each version and the installments you set.
- In a furniture store, when “will it fit in my living room?” needs the dimensions in the product description, and shipping needs a quote by ZIP code with the package weight and dimensions, once your shipping tool is integrated.
- In a building supply store, when the order has several items and the customer wants to know the stock, the price and whether you deliver to the job site.
- When sales come in at night or on weekends: the AI answers during the hours you choose, including when the store is closed, and the sale doesn’t have to wait until the next morning.
- When the conversation needs to end in a paid order, with the charge in your own account once your payment provider is integrated, and the money going straight to you.
- When you want the AI on your store’s WhatsApp, on the number it already has, connected in the dashboard: through Meta’s official WhatsApp, logging in with your company’s Facebook, or by QR code, like WhatsApp Web.
- When your store runs on WooCommerce: you connect the store, and the AI uses your site’s products, variations, stock and orders.
- When you’d rather have a monthly fee with AI usage included, up to the plan’s limit, than pay for the AI model separately.
- When you want to follow and adjust the AI in the app: you teach the AI with your store’s website, documents and images and, when an answer needs to change, your attendant proposes the fix where that information lives, and nothing changes until you apply it.
- When your team is small and nobody has time to build bots, draw flows or write code: you connect your channels and catalog, tell it how your store sells and approve what the AI learned.
- When customers reach you on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and your website, and you want the same AI on all four from the first plan, with every conversation in one dashboard.
- When you want to know where each answer came from: every answer keeps a record of what was checked to produce it, such as price, shipping and order status.
- When you want to sign up directly on the website, with no setup fee and no long-term contract, and start with Personal’s 14 days free.
- When yours is a niche store with a high average order value, and customers already ask questions by message: that’s where it works best.
At a niche store that uses Andavor, 194 of the 431 paid orders in September 2026 (45.0%) were closed with the AI, and 82 of those 194 were paid outside business hours. It’s a single store, with no comparison group: the case study explains how we measured.
If your operation centers on email marketing, SMS or web push notifications, with chatbots and a CRM in the same account, SendPulse covers that side.
What each one costs
At Andavor, the price is per plan, per month: Personal costs $20.00, Essential $110.00 and MAX $210.00, and they differ in the AI usage included. With setup help and direct support, Business Essential costs $190.00 and Business MAX $290.00; Enterprise is priced together with you.
Every plan includes WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. Personal starts with 14 days free: the card goes in at sign-up, and nothing is charged during the trial. When a month needs more AI usage, you buy usage credits.
Your customers pay at your store’s checkout or, once your payment provider is integrated, into your own account, and your sales revenue goes straight to you: Andavor doesn’t receive it.
On SendPulse’s chatbot pricing page (the Brazilian page, in Portuguese and in Brazilian reais), checked on October 28, 2026, the Basic plan is free, for up to 500 subscribers and 10,000 messages a month. Pro costs R$95 a month up to 500 subscribers (R$76 a month, billed yearly) and R$600 a month up to 10,000. Email marketing and the CRM have other plans.
In both, on official WhatsApp, Meta charges WhatsApp’s fees separately, and free allowances follow its rules (Meta’s pricing page). The math is in What AI costs.
How to start without dropping what you use
- Create your account at Create account and choose Personal: it comes with 14 days free, and nothing is charged during the trial.
- Start with a channel where no bot or AI agent answers today, such as the website chat: it goes in with the plugin on WordPress and WooCommerce or with a line of code on other platforms, and it doesn’t depend on any platform’s approval.
- Bring in your catalog, integrate your own payment provider and shipping account, and tell it how your store sells.
- Before turning the attendant on for WhatsApp, chat with it as if you were a customer: only you see that conversation, and no real order or charge happens.
- On WhatsApp, keep one AI per number: two answering the same customer trip over each other. Turn Andavor on for a number where no bot or AI agent answers.
- Follow the conversations in the app: you can take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, pause a channel whenever you want and cancel in the dashboard at any time.
That way, the trial doesn’t touch the channels your team already handles in SendPulse.
Where the SendPulse information comes from
- From SendPulse: website, pricing, CRM pricing, chatbots, WhatsApp, AI, e-commerce, live chat, CRM, retail and integrations.
- From its knowledge base: AI Agent, AI model and payments.
All of them were checked on October 28, 2026, and they’re the Brazilian pages, in Portuguese. Prices and features change: check the official pages before deciding. SendPulse has no ties to Andavor.
