Chultún o ManyChat · Chultún
Chultún or ManyChat: they are not competing for the same buyer.
ManyChat says it on its own page: it is built "for creators and social-first businesses", and it is an Official Meta Business Partner. It charges per Active Contact. Chultún is your Odoo answering WhatsApp: the conversation becomes an opportunity with its quote, its stock and its invoice. If you are a content creator, ManyChat will serve you better than we will, and we say so here. The figures below are from manychat.com/pricing, consulted on 22 September 2026.
Sound familiar?
It happens in almost every business.
You searched for "ManyChat" because you want to automate WhatsApp, not because you are an influencer.
You are worried about paying per contact as your customer list grows.
You automate the conversation, but the sale still ends up recorded nowhere.
What you get
What gets done.
What ManyChat charges, according to its own page
Free with 25 Active Contacts a month; Essential at USD 14 a month (168 annually) with 250; Pro at USD 29 (348 annually) with 2,500; Business at USD 69 (828 annually) with 7,500; Advanced at USD 139 (1,668 annually) with 25,000. Prices before tax. Consulted on 22-09-2026.
Where WhatsApp sits on their ladder
In their comparison table, WhatsApp shows ✗ on Free and on Essential: it starts at Pro, USD 29 a month. The same goes for AI — AI replies, business knowledge, intent recognition —, broadcasts with approved templates, and WhatsApp conversations from Meta ads. If WhatsApp is your thing, their real entry plan is Pro, not the 14 one.
Which CRMs it integrates with, according to their own table
Their CRM integrations are HubSpot and Klaviyo, from the Pro plan and with API access. Odoo is not on that list. That is a fact, not a complaint: if your company runs on Odoo, that connection would be yours to build.
Seats, the other number that grows
The maximum number of users goes from 1 on Free to 2, 3, 5 and 10 depending on the plan, and an additional inbox seat is USD 25. A six-person sales team does not fit in the lower plans.
What an "Active Contact" is, in their words
"A real person you interact with during a monthly billing period. It doesn't matter how many messages you exchange. One person = one Active Contact for the month." Past the limit nothing switches off: each extra contact is charged.
The extra contact, which is where the cost is decided
Their table publishes the price per additional contact: 0.10 on Essential, 0.05 on Pro, 0.025 on Business and 0.004 on Advanced, on monthly billing. Publishing it is to their credit: you can work it out before signing.
What Chultún does that is not on that list
The conversation goes into your Odoo as an opportunity, with its quote, its real stock and its CFDI invoice. We do not charge per contact: what we charge for is the implementation and the modules. What is charged per conversation is WhatsApp, and that rate is set by Meta.
And when ManyChat is the right answer
If you live off Instagram and TikTok, if your thing is replying to comments and converting followers, ManyChat is built precisely for that and we are not. They say so themselves: "for creators and social-first businesses". There, it will serve you better.
How we work with you
Three steps, no surprises.
- 01
See which of those you are
A creator converting followers, or a company that invoices? Almost the whole decision is there.

I want a proposalFrequently asked questions
What people ask us before we start.
Is ManyChat bad?
No, and it would be silly to say so: it is an Official Meta Business Partner and for Instagram automation it is among the best there is. The point is that it is built for creators, not for a company that needs the conversation to end in a quote.
Why compare using prices that may change?
Because a price without a date is worthless. The ones here were read on manychat.com/pricing on 22 September 2026; if they are different today, their page rules, not ours.
Does Chultún charge per contact?
No. What is charged is the implementation and the modules. What is charged per conversation is WhatsApp itself, and that rate is set by Meta, not by us.
I already use ManyChat. Do I have to switch?
Not necessarily. The useful question is what happens today to those conversations when they end: if they end up in a spreadsheet or in somebody's head, there is something to be gained, whether or not ManyChat stays.
