Frequently Asked Questions About Switching
Why should businesses switch from Chatfuel to Chattalyst for WhatsApp?
Chatfuel was originally architected for Facebook Messenger button flows and struggles with natural WhatsApp conversations. It bills in expensive USD with high message markups, lacks Bahasa Malaysia / Manglish NLP, and has no pre-built Malaysian SME workflows. Chattalyst is a dedicated WhatsApp AI & CRM platform with 0% Meta fee markup, flat MYR billing, and native Malaysian language support.
How does Chattalyst's AI differ from Chatfuel's chatbot builder?
Chatfuel relies on rigid, static decision trees (if user clicks X, show Y). Chattalyst utilizes modern agentic AI powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). You simply upload your product catalogs, menus, or warranty PDFs, and the AI answers customer questions naturally in English, Bahasa Malaysia, or Manglish without needing complicated flow diagrams.
Does Chattalyst provide official Malaysian SST invoices and FPX banking?
Yes! Chattalyst is based in Malaysia and bills transparently in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) with compliant 8% SST tax invoices and local payment methods including FPX online banking and DuitNow QR. Chatfuel charges in US Dollars on foreign credit cards.
Can I connect my existing WhatsApp Business number to Chattalyst?
Yes. Chattalyst uses the Official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API with coexistence support. You can retain your existing phone number, run your mobile WhatsApp Business app, and connect our AI agent and team inbox simultaneously.
