Best for
Use when
You want to build a lead capture chatbot, onboarding flow, or WhatsApp support bot without writing code — and want to self-host for free.
Skip when
You need complex AI-powered chatbot reasoning — Typebot is rule-based. For AI-driven conversations, integrate with the OpenAI or Anthropic API instead.
Self-hosting on Railway or Render is free and takes under an hour. WhatsApp integration works well with Africa's Talking and Twilio for Nigerian and Kenyan numbers.
