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.
