Landbot popularised the visual, block-by-block chat builder — but its free tier is limited and WhatsApp bots live in Landbot's cloud. FlowBot gives you the same drag-and-drop flowchart approach for free, plus something Landbot doesn't: export your bot as source code.
| FlowBot | Landbot | |
|---|---|---|
| Visual flow builder | Yes — flowchart canvas | Yes |
| Free building | Yes — full builder | Limited free chats |
| Own / export the code | Yes — Node.js ZIP | No |
| Provider choice | Meta, Twilio, Green API, Whapi | Built-in channels |

Same idea, free and ownable
If you like Landbot's visual approach but want it free and without lock-in, FlowBot maps over cleanly: drag blocks, wire the conversation, test in the live simulator, and launch on your own provider — or export the code. There's no per-chat cap on building and testing.
Where FlowBot is not the answer
FlowBot is a free builder for the bot itself — it doesn't bundle a managed shared team inbox, a broadcast/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 agents, campaigns 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.
Landbot remains strong for polished website chat funnels across several channels. For a free, exportable WhatsApp-first builder, use FlowBot.

Frequently asked questions
How is FlowBot different from Landbot?
Both are visual builders. FlowBot is free to build with no per-chat cap, is WhatsApp-first, and lets you export your bot as standalone Node.js code — which Landbot doesn't offer.
Does FlowBot have a website chatbot like Landbot?
Yes — FlowBot bots can be embedded as a website chat widget with one script tag, running the same flow as your WhatsApp bot.
Is FlowBot's builder really free?
Yes — the builder, templates, simulator, widget and code export are free; you pay only your WhatsApp provider's message costs.
