Build WhatsApp bots for clients — keep 100% of what you charge

Most bot platforms take a monthly cut of every client you onboard — your margin funds their subscription. FlowBot is a free builder, so a client bot costs you nothing to build and nothing per month: design it as a flowchart, demo it with a live link, launch it on the client's own WhatsApp number, and deliver the source code as the hand-off. Whatever you charge is yours.

The freelancer workflow, end to end

  1. Draft in minutes. Start from a template close to the client's business — restaurant, store, clinic, hotel — or describe the brief to the AI Builder and edit the flowchart it draws.
  2. Demo without a meeting. Every bot gets a public share page: the client opens one link, sees the flowchart, and chats with the bot live in their browser. No account, no screen-share, no "imagine it works".
  3. Launch on the client's number. Connect their Meta Cloud API, Twilio, Green API or Whapi account in the activation panel — message costs bill straight to the client, never through you.
  4. Hand over (or host). Deliverable option A: export the bot as a Node.js project and hand the client code they fully own — a deliverable platforms can't match. Option B: keep it running yourself and charge a monthly care retainer.

Why clients say yes faster

Scaling past the first client

Flows are independent — build each client's bot in its own flow, reuse your best blocks via Block Lab (your custom blocks work in every project), and keep a private library of template flows you clone per niche. When a client outgrows the setup, the code export means the upgrade path is a migration, not a rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

Can I white-label bots built with FlowBot?

The exported code is plain Node.js with no FlowBot branding, phone-home or license strings — deliver it under your own name. The hosted share page shows FlowBot chrome, so for a fully branded demo, host the exported bot or embed the widget on your own domain.

How do freelancers usually charge for WhatsApp bots?

Common models: a fixed build fee (often ₹15k–₹1L / $200–$1,500 depending on scope), plus either a monthly retainer if you host and maintain it, or a larger one-time fee if you hand over the exported code. Since FlowBot is free, everything above provider message costs is margin.

Do my clients need a FlowBot account?

No. Clients interact with the demo share link and their own WhatsApp number. Only you use the builder. If a client later wants to self-serve, hand them the flow or the exported project.

Whose WhatsApp provider account should the bot run on?

The client's — connect their Meta/Twilio/Green/Whapi credentials so message billing and the number belong to them. That keeps you out of their billing path and makes hand-offs clean.
