Tendabot vs Zoko

Zoko is built for D2C commerce on WhatsApp and does that job well. Their pricing has one wrinkle worth knowing: the cheapest plan carries a per-conversation fee that the next plan up removes.

Where we think we come out ahead

No per-conversation fee to escape
On Zoko you either pay about $0.015 per conversation or upgrade to stop paying it. Tendabot has no such fee on any plan.
Extras are not priced per item
Zoko lists custom flows around $5.99 each per month and Instagram near $9.99. Our plan features are in the plan.
Cheaper at the entry point
$29 against roughly $50, with AI replies included.

Where Zoko is the better choice

If one of these is your deciding factor, buy theirs. We would rather you were happy somewhere else than unhappy here.

  • Purpose-built for D2C commerce — catalogue, cart recovery and WhatsApp checkout are first-class.
  • Their Plus plan adds nothing to Meta’s rates, same as us.
  • A strong Shopify App Store presence and reviews.
