There is a lot of buzz around the chatbot industry, and it has become the preferred marketing strategy of many marketers today. For all chatbots offer, the hype is justified.
Chatbots can be available round the clock and used to communicate with users in real time.
As many marketers and companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and the likes prefer this approach to marketing, many chatbot-building platforms are now available.
However, not all chatbots are built the same way. There are many chatbot-building platforms today that help marketers boost sales and marketing as well as develop a detailed understanding of their customers, which increases customer loyalty.
This blog will compare two of the best and most effective chatbots we presently have, BanglaChatbot and ManyChat, and see what they offer and how effective each can be.
Comparison Between Chatbots
Comparing chatbots is important because some people may have had a bumpy ride with a particular chatbot.
Their experience has drawn them into making general conclusions about the entire chatbot industry and marketing.
However, because one has burned you does not mean others are like that. Also, as chatbots are not created equal, there is the possibility you may have used a bot template, for instance, that is not in tandem with your business.
BanglaChatbot and ManyChat Chatbots
These two chatbot-building platforms are very similar, with only a few differences. Both BanglaChatbot and ManyChat are Facebook Messenger chatbots that can be integrated into multiple platforms.
ManyChat’s chatbot marketing system automates and combines Facebook Messenger and SMS to grow a business. Like many other chatbots, it is built to capture more leads, engage with prospects, and so on.
BanglaChatbot is a chatbot for web and Facebook Messenger. You can grow your business by connecting with new and existing customers wherever they are. It is also used to generate leads, sales, and engage customers in real-time via web chat, SMS, Facebook Messenger, etc.
Leads Generation
Both BanglaChatbot and ManyChat can generate massive leads for your business. Generally, chatbots can drive sales with massive open rates. However, the percentage of open rates differs based on the chatbot platform, and that applies here as well.
ManyChat has an 80% open rate and 25% Click-Through Rates (CTR), which is good. However, BanglaChatbot assures even better open rates, with up to 95% on offer and CTRs in the same region as ManyChat.
A 95% open rate means with BanglaChatbot, almost all of your customers are likely to open, read, and possibly engage with your messages, which may include offers, tailored recommendations, and more. This significantly improves your chances of conversions.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is present in both chatbots, meaning they can have conversations with customers just as much as humans.
BanglaChatbot, specifically, has a unique kind of artificial intelligence compared to many other chatbots. It offers personalized and customized recommendations for your customers based on their data.
This ensures they spend more time on your page, exploring other products they may be interested in.
It can also directly tag customers in comment replies by using their names or usernames, which adds a personal touch to interactions.
With the power of artificial intelligence, BanglaChatbot can also delete or hide unwanted and negative comments on your page.
Platforms
BanglaChatbot and ManyChat are compatible with the same channels. They are both Facebook Messenger chatbots that connect with your users on SMS, email, and the web. Some specific functions can also be performed on Instagram.
You can also use both platforms to create QR codes that can be used in or outside Messenger.
User-Interface
BanglaChatbot and ManyChat both have a drag-and-drop interface, allowing you to easily build chatbots in minutes.
Templates
ManyChat has template chatbots for each business. However, although BanglaChatbot does not provide pre-made templates, it allows you to design chatbots to suit your specific needs for any business you run.
Templates can sometimes be restrictive to a particular business, and you may face difficulties if you offer multiple services in contrasting or different industries.
BanglaChatbot can be used to sell products, interact with customers, build massive email lists to update customers on news, promotions, products, offers, etc., and to book appointments, flights, reservations, order food, cinema tickets, taxis, and more.
Pricing
BanglaChatbot and ManyChat have options to use the platform for free. However, as of the time of this writing, ManyChat only provides channel access to Facebook Messenger under the free plan.
BanglaChatbot also has a free option with no credit card required, as well as access to all its features for up to 14 days! With the many benefits on offer, you can make the money you need and more before you are required to pay. You can also cancel anytime.
ManyChat also offers a Pro package that costs $10/monthly, with additional email and SMS services available as pay-as-you-go options. According to a 2020 chatbot review by Ometrics, the costs of using a ManyChat chatbot could extend up to $145+.
BanglaChatbot offers three different packages: the Pro-Bot, which is very extensive in its functions and costs $14.99/month, the Expert Bot, which costs $22.88/month, and the Legend Bot, which includes more services than many other chatbot platforms and costs $44.98/month.
All BanglaChatbot packages are one-time payments, meaning you don’t have to pay extra for any additional function unless you want to upgrade your package.
