Manychat alternative: Andavor’s proprietary AI attendant, trained for sales

Andavor’s AI is its own, trained for sales: ready to understand your operation and help your customers as they buy.

• Checks price and stock in your catalog before answering: in a WooCommerce store, products come from the website; on other platforms, you add them in the app’s Catalog.
• Once your shipping tool is integrated, it quotes real shipping by ZIP code and puts it in the order, with the items and the total.
• 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.
• 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.
• In the website chat, it answers with your real catalog and takes the customer to your store’s checkout: no charge is created there for an anonymous visitor.
• Answers during the hours you choose, including when the store is closed.
• In the Andavor app, included in every plan, you follow the conversations, teach the AI with your store’s website, documents and images, and take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook whenever you want: the AI stays quiet in it until you hand it back.

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.

When your store’s customers ask before they decide, and the right answer depends on the product, your store’s rules and your system at that moment. In practice:

• A customer asks in your DMs “do you have it in M?” and “how much is shipping to my ZIP code?”: the AI checks the stock of that variation, quotes shipping with your shipping tool integrated, and answers with your system’s figures.
• They decide right there: the AI builds the order with the items, shipping and total and sends your store’s checkout link; with your payment provider integrated, the charge goes to your own account.
• They compare two products, change their mind and go back to the first one: the AI follows the conversation, and they don’t have to repeat what they already said.
• The message comes in at night or on the weekend: the AI answers during the hours you choose, including when the store is closed.
• The customer arrives through your website: the same attendant answers in the chat with your real catalog and takes them to your store’s checkout.
• The customer asks to talk to a person on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook: the conversation shows up in the app as waiting for you (Precisa de você), in the cases you set in the Instructions, and you take it from there. In the website chat, the AI shares the contacts the store published in its profile, such as WhatsApp.
• You want to know where every answer came from: each one keeps a record of what was checked to produce it, and in an open conversation in the dashboard you can ask your attendant where it came from; when you tell it what’s right, it proposes the fix where that information lives, and nothing changes until you apply it.
• You don’t want to draw or maintain flows: you tell it how your store sells, and a new rule is a text you change in the Instructions.

At the niche store in the case study, 194 of 431 paid orders in September 2026 (45.0%) were closed with the AI, and 42% of those sales were paid outside business hours; from October 1 to 14, the share was 37.6%. It’s a single store, and another store may get different results.

It works best for niche stores with a high average order value, a catalog you can keep in your head and customers who already ask questions by message. If all you need is fixed replies to comments and Story mentions, a Manychat flow does the job.

At Andavor, every plan includes its own AI, the Andavor app, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat, with no setup fee and no long-term contract, and Personal starts with 14 days free:

Each plan includes a monthly AI usage limit; when a month needs more, you buy usage credits. On official WhatsApp, Meta charges the WhatsApp fees.

On MAX, Business MAX and Enterprise, Consultor mode has the AI reach out to your customers and create campaigns; messages that can only go out through an approved template are charged by Meta, within the monthly budget you choose.

At Manychat, the price depends on your billing country. On October 25, 2026, the US version of its pricing page showed Free ($0, 25 active contacts a month), Essential (from $17/month), Pro (from $39/month, with Manychat AI), Business (from $99/month) and Advanced (from $199/month), lower on annual billing and with a fee per extra contact; WhatsApp is an additional charge (WhatsApp page).

If you’d like help setting things up, the Business plans include setup help and direct support from the Andavor team. You can cancel in the dashboard at any time, and how the trial and the first charge work is in Trial, card and billing.

• From Meta, for the free tools in the questions: the Instagram Help Center and the Meta Business Help Center.

Checked on October 25, 2026; prices and features change. Manychat is a product of Manychat, Inc., which has no ties to Andavor.
