I run a very small business that sells used baby strollers and relies on customers placing orders via Facebook Messenger. We set up Chatfuel to automate the initial part of the conversation (what model, what colors, what budget, what time constraints and so on) and it has worked well - it was well worth the $15 we initially paid per month. We set it up once and have only gone in to do small adjustments to the chatflow over the 3 years we've been using it and this step was easy enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Chatfuel pricing structure. The reason I am writing this review is to make it visible that Chatfuel will automatically increase your plan each month by default as your amount of "subscribers" increases. What I didn't understand was that ALL conversations are saved as "reachable" inside of Chatfuel and thus will contribute to your monthly price. Looking over my bills over the last 3 years that I have been a customer and it has been increased 5 times in that time due to increased "usage" - here's the thing, we see the same active usage every month. It's just the pool of finished conversations, marked as "done" on Facebook that are inflating the bill.
My subscription went from $15 to $66 and I feel like it happened without my approval. I contacted the support team about this and the agent I connected with, Larisa, told me there's nothing she can do - so, reading between the lines, it is my own fault that I didn't disable this autoscaling feature in their settings.
I am an Account Manager with another SaaS company. If one of my clients reached out to me with this type of issue, I would try to do something to ease the friction.

I used the blocks way to create a bot. Now I switched to flows and I love it ! Easy to understand, easy to manage, no skill in code needed, it's perfect !
And, it works !
I also like the way to manage time to time non recognised answers and act on what to say when a users types that, and those statistic features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very specific but my price plan was not adapted for my usage. After a talk with the chatfuel team they solved it by adapting it and now it's perfect ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
