A free KwiqReply alternative
Drag & drop builder, live simulator, your own provider — and you keep the full code.
KwiqReply is a smaller Wati-style platform on the official WhatsApp Business API — shared inbox, broadcasts, AI agents, CRM integrations — sold as a subscription. FlowBot flips the model for the bot itself: build free, bring your own provider, keep the source code.

Same official API — different ownership
Both products can run on Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API. The difference is who holds the bot: on a managed platform your flows live in their dashboard and stop working when the subscription does. FlowBot's flows run on your own Meta (or Twilio, Green API, Whapi) account, include a free live inbox with human takeover, and can leave with you as an exported Node.js project whenever you want.
Where FlowBot is not the answer
FlowBot is a free builder for the bot itself. It includes a live inbox with human takeover, per-block funnel analytics and simple broadcasts — but not a multi-agent team inbox with assignment rules, a full campaign manager, or official Business Solution Provider (BSP) onboarding and support. You bring your own WhatsApp provider (Meta Cloud API, Twilio, Green API or Whapi.cloud). If you specifically need an all-in-one managed platform with agent teams, campaign tooling and hand-holding, a paid provider can be worth the money. If you want to build and own the bot logic for free, that's exactly what FlowBot is for.
If you want someone to manage the whole channel for you — onboarding, templates, campaigns — a platform like KwiqReply earns its fee. If you want the bot free and permanent, use FlowBot.

Frequently asked questions
How is FlowBot different from KwiqReply?
KwiqReply is a managed subscription platform (inbox, broadcasts, AI agents) where your automation lives in their cloud. FlowBot is a free builder: design the flow visually, run it on your own provider account, and export the full source code any time.
Does FlowBot support the official WhatsApp API like KwiqReply?
Yes — Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API is a one-panel connection, and Twilio's official channel is supported too. Green API and Whapi.cloud are there if you want to start without Meta's business verification.
Is there really no subscription with FlowBot?
None — builder, templates, simulator, widget, inbox, analytics and code export are free. Your only cost is what your WhatsApp provider charges for messages.
