What it is
Respond.io is a customer conversation platform for chats, calls, campaigns, and AI-assisted work across channels. Its unified inbox can place WhatsApp Business Calls, Messenger Calls, VoIP, messages, and emails in one customer thread. AI Agents can answer enquiries, qualify leads, update CRMs, recommend products, book appointments, and route conversations. The company positions it for mid-market B2C businesses handling high conversation volumes. Listed connections include WhatsApp Business Platform, TikTok, Facebook Messenger, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Calendar, Calendly, Zapier, and Google Sheets. Respond.io states that it is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, with 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption in transit, 256-bit AES encryption at rest, and daily database backups. Starter costs $79 a month for five users; Growth and Advanced cost $159.00 and $279.00 per month respectively for ten users. Enterprise has unlimited users and custom pricing. A seven-day trial requires no credit card, but there is no free plan. WhatsApp fees are charged separately by Meta according to usage. Android, iOS, web, and API access are supported.
