Andy: Buy vs Skip (WhatsApp-Heavy SMB Clients in Latin America)

IF a client already runs high WhatsApp or Instagram DM volume and needs 24/7 inquiry handling plus Google Calendar booking, THEN start on Andy Starter at $9/month (1 agent, 300 messages, 1 channel) to prove response-time gains before upgrading. IF the client needs multi-channel coverage or more than 300 messages monthly, THEN the jump is to Pro at $19/month (3 agents, 3 seats, 2,000 messages, multi-channel) or Pro Max at $49/month (up to 7 agents, 10 seats, 7,500 messages, API access). IF the client's customers do not use WhatsApp or Instagram as a primary channel, THEN defer, because Andy's channel positioning is the core of its value.

Andy: Buy vs Skip (WhatsApp-Heavy SMB Clients in Latin America)

“IF a client already runs high WhatsApp or Instagram DM volume and needs 24/7 inquiry handling plus Google Calendar booking, THEN start on Andy Starter at $9/month (1 agent, 300 messages, 1 channel) to prove response-time gains before upgrading. IF the client needs multi-channel coverage or more than 300 messages monthly, THEN the jump is to Pro at $19/month (3 agents, 3 seats, 2,000 messages, multi-channel) or Pro Max at $49/month (up to 7 agents, 10 seats, 7,500 messages, API access). IF the client's customers do not use WhatsApp or Instagram as a primary channel, THEN defer, because Andy's channel positioning is the core of its value.”

When is it the right choice?
  • Client already fields a steady stream of WhatsApp or Instagram DMs and loses leads after hours
  • Prospect is an SMB in retail, e-commerce, real estate, or a local service business where appointment booking matters
  • Agency wants a low-risk pilot: the 14-day free trial and $9/month Starter tier let you validate one client before committing
  • Client needs Google Calendar scheduling and Slack or email lead alerts wired into an existing workflow
  • Agency is building a lead-capture and support retainer and wants a tool cheap enough to resell at a margin
When should you skip it?
  • Client's customers live on email, phone, or a portal, not WhatsApp or Instagram, so Andy's channel coverage adds little
  • Monthly conversation volume will blow past 300 messages immediately, making the $9 Starter tier a throwaway test rather than a pilot
  • Client requires deep CRM or ERP integration that the Starter and Pro tiers do not expose; only Pro Max lists API access
  • Agency needs white-label branding or multi-client dashboards, which Andy's published tiers do not describe
  • Client's support load is low enough that existing staff already answer within minutes, so automation savings do not justify setup time
