Which should you choose?
Both centralize WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Telegram.

Callbell's per-user pricing multiplies as your team grows.
Callbell Multiagent Chat starts at $15/user/month. For a 5-person support team, that is $75/month before you add WhatsApp ($54/month extra), a Bot Builder for AI ($66/month), or any extra channels (€20/month each). With Callbell, the headline price rarely reflects the actual bill.
Bzzip Starter ($39/month) includes the whole team — unlimited members. WhatsApp Business API is included. AI agent is free on your own key. One price, no surprises.
WhatsApp is not included in Callbell's base plan.
Callbell's multi-channel inbox covers WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Telegram — but WhatsApp requires a separate add-on starting at $54/month. The Bot Builder for AI automation costs another $66/month. Bzzip includes WhatsApp Business API and the AI agent in every plan.
Bzzip Growth ($67/month) gives you unlimited team members, WhatsApp Business API, and the AI agent — one price that covers what Callbell charges $120+ extra for.
You want AI to handle first-line support — but not at $66/month extra.
Callbell's Bot Builder (AI) is a $66/month add-on, separate from the per-user base plan and the WhatsApp add-on. Bzzip's AI agent is included in every plan, including the free plan — you only need to bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
Bzzip includes the AI agent at no extra cost. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key and the AI works 24/7 on your knowledge base. Your AI costs are cents a day, not $66/month.
