A free QuickReply.ai alternative for store bots
Drag & drop builder, live simulator, your own provider — and you keep the full code.
QuickReply.ai targets e-commerce brands with WhatsApp campaigns — abandoned-cart nudges, order updates, broadcast marketing — on a subscription. If the part you need is the conversational bot for your store, FlowBot builds it free, with a working e-commerce template to start from.

The store bot, without the suite
FlowBot's e-commerce template ships the conversational side ready-made: product catalog with search, order-status lookups, payment links, coupons, human handoff. Wire it to your store's API with the HTTP Request block, test it in the simulator, and launch on your own number. Broadcasts are included for simple announcements; what FlowBot doesn't do is deep cart-recovery campaign automation — that's the part QuickReply.ai charges for.
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 automated cart-recovery campaigns move real revenue for your store, a paid suite like QuickReply.ai can justify itself. For the store bot customers actually chat with — free and yours — use FlowBot.

Frequently asked questions
Can FlowBot handle abandoned-cart recovery like QuickReply.ai?
Not as an automated campaign engine — that's QuickReply.ai's specialty. FlowBot covers the conversational side: catalog, order status, payment links, support flows and simple broadcasts, free. Many stores run both jobs separately.
Does FlowBot integrate with my store?
Yes — the HTTP Request block calls any API (Shopify, WooCommerce or your own backend) mid-conversation, so the bot can look up orders or stock live. And because you can export the code, developers can extend it without limits.
What does FlowBot cost for an online store?
Nothing for the builder, templates, simulator, widget and code export — you pay only your WhatsApp provider's message costs. There's no subscription tier gating the catalog or order-status blocks.
