Kommo alternatives with AI for WhatsApp sales teams

Seven Kommo options compared by their WhatsApp AI in 2026: what it answers and qualifies, when it hands off to a person, plus price and source for each.

Diego Olivera Published 4 min read

What is a good Kommo alternative built for WhatsApp sales teams, not just CRM pipelines?

If you use Kommo and want more AI on WhatsApp, check your plan first: Advanced includes up to 3 AI agents and Pro up to 50. If you still need to switch, the options compared in 2026 are Cliengo, Dapta, Darwin AI, Leadsales, Meteor, respond.io and Wati. Leadsales qualifies and moves stages in its pipeline, and respond.io in its lifecycle; Cliengo and Darwin AI hand off to a person when needed; Dapta adds voice; Wati publishes qualification and booking use cases; Meteor checks your systems and leaves sensitive steps for approval.

This list was reviewed on November 2, 2026 against the pages linked in each cell. It is not a ranking: alphabetical order, with Kommo as the reference. If your doubt is the CRM rather than the AI, read what to compare before switching CRM.

Before switching: check your Kommo plan

Migrating a CRM takes work. On Base, the pricing page assigns no number of agents; Advanced includes up to 3 and Pro up to 50, with 1,250 and 2,250 AI credits per user a month. Try that with your conversations before looking elsewhere. Switch only if Kommo’s AI does not solve the journey you need, such as checking an external system in the middle of a conversation.

The table: seven options and Kommo, 2026

Prices carry their unit and are not compared with each other, because each one measures something else.

Where Kommo goes further

Kommo names Shopify with AI agent support, Mercado Pago inside the CRM and Mercado Libre, and allows up to 50 agents on Pro. If your team sells from the pipeline and measures there, it is hard to justify switching for one feature.

Where Meteor is not the answer

If you want a classic sales CRM, with the pipeline as the main screen and no other systems to connect, Kommo or Leadsales are more direct. Meteor makes sense when the answer to the customer depends on data that lives outside the chat.

How to test the AI with your conversations

  1. Take ten real customer questions and run them through each free trial.
  2. Ask it to qualify a customer with your criteria. Is it written on the contact?
  3. Ask about a price or order that changed today. Where does the data come from?
  4. Ask to speak to a person. Who gets the case, and with what context?
  5. Work out the cost at your volume, counting users, credits or active contacts.

Questions on this topic

According to its pricing page, Advanced includes up to 3 and Pro up to 50. Base states no number of agents. AI credits are 750, 1,250 and 2,250 per user a month, and unused credits do not carry over.

No, and its own page says so: Lead Agent does not sell for you, you keep closing. It answers, qualifies and hands off to the rep. It also asks for a registered company, control of your Business Manager and your own website.

When your team already works in its pipeline and what is missing is agents: moving from Base to Advanced or Pro takes less effort than migrating. It also names Shopify, Mercado Pago and Mercado Libre, and gives 14 days of trial with no card.

The agent, called a Met, checks the systems where the data lives and leaves sensitive steps for approval. It has its own CRM, but it is not a sales CRM built around a mobile app. If your process lives entirely in the pipeline, Kommo or Leadsales may fit better.
