n8n alternative: Andavor’s proprietary AI, trained for sales, with no flow to build

The AI that answers your customers is Andavor’s own, trained for sales, and runs on infrastructure operated by Andavor. It talks without a script, understands what the customer wrote and:

• Checks price and stock in your catalog before answering, without writing figures off the top of its head. In a WooCommerce store, products come from the website; on other platforms, from the app’s Catalog.
• 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.
• Builds the order with the items, shipping and total on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Once your carrier is integrated, it quotes real shipping by ZIP code.
• Sends your store’s checkout link and, once your payment provider is integrated, creates the charge in your own account: the money goes straight to you. A payment below the total doesn’t complete the order.
• 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, which can be all day, including nights and weekends.

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.

You don’t code or draw flows: you connect your channels and catalog, tell it how your store sells and approve what the AI learned. AI usage is included in the plan, up to the monthly limit.

With the subscription, you use the Andavor app, in the browser on a computer or a phone. That’s where you follow conversations and orders, teach the AI with your store’s website, documents and images, adjust how it answers in the Instructions, and take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook whenever you want: the AI stays quiet in it until you hand it back.

In an open conversation in the dashboard, you can ask your attendant 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.

The sources, with the date, are in the last section, before the questions.

• When what you want is an AI attendant that understands the customer, uses your store’s knowledge and guides each conversation, not an automation project to build and maintain: with no AI model to pick and no flow to draw, you connect your channels and catalog, tell it how your store sells and switch the attendant on.
• 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 customers ask about price, stock and shipping, and the answer depends on your store’s system at that moment: the AI checks your catalog and, once your carrier is integrated, quotes shipping before answering.
• When the conversation needs to end in an order right there, with the charge in your own account and the money going straight to you.
• 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 the store in the case study, 194 of 431 paid orders in September 2026 (45.0%) were closed with the AI, and 82 of those 194 were paid outside business hours.
• When customers reach you on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and your website, and you want the same AI on all four, with every conversation in one dashboard.
• 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 you’d rather have a monthly fee with AI usage included, up to the plan’s limit, than pay for the AI model separately.

If you have a technical team and want to automate processes across systems, such as reports and order syncing, that’s what n8n offers.

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 the AI on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat, with no setup fee and no long-term contract, and Personal starts with 14 days free. When a month needs more AI usage, you buy usage credits.

On n8n’s pricing page, checked on October 25, 2026, n8n Cloud costs €24 a month on Starter, with 2,500 executions, and €60 on Pro, with 10,000, billed monthly; the page shows prices in the visitor’s local currency, so yours may differ. The self-hosted Community Edition is free. In a chatbot, each message counts as one execution, and AI model usage is billed separately.

On official WhatsApp, Meta charges WhatsApp’s fees separately, with Andavor and with n8n (Meta’s pricing page). The math is in What AI costs.

That way, the trial doesn’t touch the automations you already run in n8n.

From n8n’s official pages, checked on October 25, 2026: pricing, website, AI agents and, in the documentation, Cloud or self-hosting, free trial, Gateway credits, n8n Assistant, the WhatsApp credentials and the AI Agent, Ollama Chat Model, WhatsApp, Chat Trigger, WooCommerce, Stripe and HTTP Request nodes. On GPT Maker, its website. Prices and features change: check before deciding. n8n and GPT Maker belong to other companies and have no ties to Andavor.
