comparisons

honest comparisons, no fluff.

heysteff is an AI platform for customer support and sales across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Gmail and Shopify; Steff is the AI agent that runs it. Here we compare heysteff to other messaging and support tools, point by point, without inflating our own product or hiding where the other option genuinely wins.

What we compare on each page: the channels each tool covers out of the box, whether the engine is an AI agent that reasons over your real business data or a flow/rule builder, public pricing (ours and theirs — citing only what each company actually publishes), whether a real free plan exists, the setup cost, and how long a typical implementation takes. When the competitor wins at something — a more mature ecosystem, more years in the market, a sharper focus on one use case — we say so, in that tool's own "when [competitor] may be the better choice" section. We don't invent anyone's numbers: if a competitor doesn't publish a fixed price, we write "see their current pricing" instead of guessing.
