The Sleekflow alternative for steady growth

Sleekflow is best for small businesses with fewer than 5 agents sending low volumes of messages for marketing, sales and support over chat.

Larger businesses with high message volumes requiring advanced features for multiple users and teams should consider respond.io. Our product best suits B2C businesses looking for business or revenue growth over calls, email and popular messaging channels like TikTok, WhatsApp and more.

Sleekflow’s recent price hike came without meaningful feature improvements, making it harder to justify the cost. It still lacks support for high-impact channels like TikTok, limiting your reach in key markets. And when message volumes surge, Sleekflow users report frequent lag, bugs and downtime. For businesses looking to scale reliably and cost-effectively, it may be time to move on.

Most platforms buckle under pressure. Respond.io doesn’t. Whether you're handling 1,000 or 100,000 messages per month, respond.io delivers 99.999% uptime — no lag, no crashes and no lost leads.

Handle conversations from TikTok, WhatsApp, email, voice calls and more, all in one place. Instead of silos or chaos, enjoy omnichannel conversations in a team inbox with a great UI/UX.

Then, go beyond basic automation. While Sleekflow limits your workflows and users, respond.io empowers your team with advanced AI, custom workflows and flexible routing logic. Combined with lead management features and reports, it’s built to convert leads faster at scale.

Collectively, these translate to real impact: our G2 reviews prove quicker time to value and ROI than Sleekflow. In short, Sleekflow gets you started. Respond.io gets you results.

Ever wonder why Sleekflow limits automation? It comes down to pricing. Platforms that primarily charge by user count have little incentive to help you automate — because the more you automate, the fewer users you need to pay for.

Respond.io flips that model. Our Monthly Active Contacts pricing gives you unlimited total contacts and unlimited conversations, unlike competitors who charge by contact blocks or cap conversations per plan. As your chat volume grows, your cost per Monthly Active Contact goes down, making it more scalable over time. And since we don’t charge per user, we help you automate more to support customer growth and handle high chat volumes — no matter how big your team gets.

Sleekflow charges $15 per WhatsApp number per month, making it expensive for businesses with multiple numbers. Respond.io on the other hand, does not charge any setup fees, maintenance charges or message markups for WhatsApp.
