The flat-rate ManyChat alternative for coaches

WelcomeFunnel vs ManyChat

ManyChat is powerful, but two things hurt coaches, consultants, and creators: **per-contact

pricing that grows your bill as your audience grows, and a Follow-to-DM** feature

that lives in a gated, unstable Meta beta most accounts can't reliably use.

Where we're different

• Flat monthly price. Your 10,000th conversation costs the same as your first.
• AI intent beyond keywords. Ambiguous comments are classified as buying-intent,

question, praise, or spam, so the right flow fires without a magic word.

• Official APIs only. We never scrape or automate a browser, so your account stays safe.
• After the DM. We don't stop at "send the message." We qualify, capture the email,

and book the call.

A concrete example

A business coach pins a Reel with "Comment PLAYBOOK for my client-getting system."

ManyChat can DM the link. WelcomeFunnel DMs the link, asks one qualifying question,

stores the reply as a tag, captures the email, and drops a Calendly link. Then it shows

that this one Reel produced 42 conversations, 31 emails, and 9 booked calls.

Switching from per-contact billing to flat-rate is usually the single biggest line-item

win for a growing creator.
