Frequently Asked Questions About Switching
Why do Malaysian businesses switch from Trengo to Chattalyst?
Trengo is a capable omnichannel helpdesk, but WhatsApp-heavy Malaysian SMEs often pay for channels and seat models they do not need—plus international billing. Chattalyst is WhatsApp-first with flat MYR plans from RM 99, 0% Meta conversation markup, SST invoices, and local industry playbooks.
Is Chattalyst a better Trengo alternative for WhatsApp-only teams?
Yes if your customers live on WhatsApp. You get Official Meta Cloud API, multilingual AI (Bahasa Malaysia & Manglish), shared inbox, bookings, and broadcasts without running a full omnichannel suite.
Does Chattalyst support Malaysian payment methods and SST invoices?
Yes. Chattalyst accepts FPX, DuitNow QR, and local cards in Malaysian Ringgit, and issues compliant 8% SST tax invoices for corporate deductions.
Can I migrate contacts from Trengo and keep my WhatsApp number?
Export contacts as CSV from Trengo, import into Chattalyst, and reconnect the same verified number on Meta Cloud API with coexistence so your mobile WhatsApp Business app stays usable.
