👥

Growing SME teams

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, especially if you want unlimited team members without SleekFlow's per-seat and Monthly Active Contacts pricing. oChats covers the same core channels as SleekFlow (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, WeChat) plus Telegram and LINE, starting at US$359/year. It's a straightforward switch for teams that have outgrown SleekFlow's seat limits or want more predictable annual pricing.

For most SME teams, yes. oChats starts at US$359/year (about US$30/month) with unlimited users included. SleekFlow's entry plans start higher and its Premium AI tier costs US$399/month for only 5 users — so as your team or contact volume grows, SleekFlow's effective cost per user tends to rise while oChats' flat annual price does not.

oChats includes unlimited team members on every plan tier, from Starter through Enterprise. SleekFlow's plans are generally scoped around a set number of seats (for example, 5 users on its Premium AI plan), with additional users typically requiring a higher plan or add-on.

oChats is built and supported out of Kuala Lumpur, with local WhatsApp Business API onboarding and Malaysia-based support. SleekFlow also serves the Malaysia/SEA market but is a larger, more globally-focused platform. If local support and predictable annual pricing for a growing team matter most, oChats' WhatsApp Business API for Malaysia is worth trying first via the free trial.

Yes — SleekFlow's AI Agent is live today on its Premium AI plan, while oChats lists AI Agent (RAG) and WhatsApp Catalog & Store as "coming soon" on its roadmap. If a live AI agent is a hard requirement right now, that's a genuine point in SleekFlow's favor.

Yes. oChats offers free 1-time onboarding support to help migrate your WhatsApp Business API connection and set up your team inbox. Contact the oChats team on WhatsApp to discuss migrating your existing setup.
