Pick Picky Assist if…
You're technical, want maximum control for the lowest price, or only need the API.
Pick MotherBot if…
You want the chat, the quote, the invoice and the call in one place — configured with you.
Being fair
Where Picky Assist wins
If one of these is what your business runs on, buy theirs.
A more generous free tier
Their free plan publishes 2 users and 500 contacts. Ours is free forever too — compare the limits.
The lowest cost per seat
Ten people for $69/month. Nothing else here comes close.
An API-only plan
$29/month, no seats, 100,000 API calls a day.
Very deep configuration
More knobs than most, if you want to build the logic yourself.
The other side
Where MotherBot wins
No contact cap at all
They cap at 500, 2,000, 10,000 and 20,000 by tier. We don't cap contacts on any plan.
Chat history you keep
Theirs expires — 3 days on API-only, 365 on Scale.
Extra numbers included
They charge $29 per additional WhatsApp number.
No template markup
Their free plan adds 30% to template messages. We never mark up Meta.
Quotes, invoices, calls
Approved quotes, GST invoices, and calls that are transcribed and AI-scored.
Portal leads as chats
IndiaMART, MagicBricks, 99acres, Housing, NoBroker.
Not on the table above
Six things none of the ten publish
They're not matrix rows because every competitor column would read “?”. They're just ours.
Quote, approve, invoice
Send a branded quotation, route it for sign-off, see when it's opened — then raise the GST invoice.
Calls that write themselves up
Call from the platform. Recorded, transcribed onto the contact, scored by AI against your checklist.
Portal leads, as conversations
IndiaMART, MagicBricks, 99acres, Housing and NoBroker enquiries arrive as chats. No inbox, no copy-paste.
Nothing goes unread
A message that fails — or lands and is never opened — goes again on a schedule you set.
Forms built by dragging
Screens, fields, logic and your own data, with a live phone preview beside you.
Where your team already works
Chrome, Google Sheets and WordPress extensions, plus Zapier. Start from the spreadsheet you have.
