Take App alternatives

The best Take App alternativesfor selling on WhatsApp

Take App is a simple way to put a store behind your WhatsApp number, with a free plan to start. People look elsewhere when they want an AI agent that answers customers, more channels than WhatsApp, Paymob for Egypt and the Gulf, or bookings next to orders. Here are the options, with the trade-offs.

The short answer

For a WhatsApp store with its own chat menu, an AI agent and one inbox for seven channels, look at Chatmizer. For a WhatsApp-first team inbox and campaigns without a store, WATI. For a larger multi-channel support team, respond.io.

Why businesses look beyond Take App

  • The useful parts are on Business

    Card payments, your own domain, several stores and staff, discounts and delivery fees by distance all need the paid Business plan; Basic is limited to 50 orders a month.

  • AI replies are still in beta

    Take App's inbox automations, which answer common questions, are marked beta in its help centre.

  • WhatsApp only

    Its chat inbox is for WhatsApp messages; customers who write on Instagram, Messenger or TikTok are answered somewhere else.

  • Selling is more than a store

    A business that also takes bookings or answers many questions every day often wants those in the same place as its orders.

How to choose

  • Does the store open inside WhatsApp, and do the receipt and order updates come back to the same chat?
  • Which payment gateways can you connect in your country, on your own account, and is there a commission?
  • Can an AI agent answer your customers' questions in their language, and hand over to your team?
  • Do Instagram, Messenger and TikTok messages land in the same inbox as WhatsApp?
  • What happens at the plan's limit: orders, stores or staff?
