Questions buyers ask
Answers use the prices and limits on each tool’s own pages.
For Instagram alone with a small audience, ManyChat costs less: it is free for 25 active contacts and $14 a month for 250. With WhatsApp, the two start close: ManyChat Pro is $29 a month for 2,500 active contacts, then $0.05 for each extra one, and Spur’s AI Start is $39 with no charge per contact or automation run. WhatsApp message fees come on top on both.
Shopify is not listed on ManyChat’s integrations page (checked 5 Nov 2026); the page points to Zapier, Make and its API for other tools. Spur runs abandoned checkout, COD confirmation and order update flows from AI Start, and its Shopify app is rated 5.0 from 119 reviews.
Yes: 25 active contacts a month, 2 channels, 1 user, up to 4 live triggers and ManyChat branding. Essential and Pro have a 14-day free trial. Spur has no free plan; it has a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
By plan and by active contacts, people you message or who message you in a month. Each plan includes a number of them (25 to 25,000), and extra ones cost $0.10 on Essential, $0.05 on Pro, $0.025 on Business and $0.004 on Advanced each, billed monthly. Annual billing saves up to 30%.
Yes. Turn off two-step verification on the number, then connect it in Spur’s setup for numbers coming from another provider. A number works with one provider at a time, so WhatsApp moves over in one go.
Contacts come over as a CSV you export from ManyChat and import into Spur, with names, phones, tags, opt-ins and custom fields. Templates on the same WhatsApp Business account sync into Spur from Meta; if the account changes, Spur’s team can copy approved templates across. Chat history doesn’t move.
No. The cheapest plan is AI Acquire at $15 a month, for Instagram and Messenger automation and one shared inbox. WhatsApp automation and Shopify start on AI Start at $39. Signing up starts a 14-day free trial, no credit card needed.
