SleekFlow is a social-commerce suite — omnichannel inbox, broadcast campaigns, payment links in chat — sold as a subscription, strong in Southeast Asia. If you mainly need the WhatsApp bot rather than the suite, FlowBot builds it free and lets you keep the code.

The suite vs the bot
SleekFlow earns its subscription when you use the whole suite — team inbox, segmented campaigns, in-chat checkout. FlowBot covers the conversational core for free: menus, catalogs, order flows, payment links, human takeover from a live inbox, and simple broadcasts to everyone who has messaged your bot. And the flow is yours — export it any time.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is FlowBot free where SleekFlow is paid?
Yes — FlowBot's builder, simulator, widget, inbox, funnel analytics and code export are free; you pay only your WhatsApp provider's rates. SleekFlow's meaningful features sit on monthly plans.
Can FlowBot send payment links like SleekFlow?
Yes — the Payment Link block drops your payment URL (Stripe, Razorpay, anything) into the flow with the amount and context filled from variables. Full in-chat checkout with cart management is SleekFlow territory.
Does FlowBot do broadcast campaigns?
Simple ones — one message to everyone who has chatted with your bot on your provider, with delivery counts. Segmented, scheduled campaign tooling is where SleekFlow and BSPs specialise.
