Frequently Asked Questions

Can AurixCRM replace ManyChat for Instagram comment automation?

Yes. AurixCRM's comment automation feature monitors Instagram and Facebook posts for keyword triggers, auto-replies publicly, and sends private WhatsApp messages — covering the primary ManyChat use case.

Does AurixCRM have a chatbot flow builder like ManyChat?

Yes. AurixCRM includes a visual Flow Builder for designing WhatsApp chatbot sequences with quick-reply buttons, decision trees, and keyword routing.

Which is better for a 10-person sales team?

AurixCRM is significantly better for sales teams. ManyChat has no shared inbox, no CRM pipeline, and no agent assignment — it's designed for solo/automated lead capture, not team-based selling.

Is AurixCRM cheaper than ManyChat?

Yes. ManyChat Pro starts at $15/month for basic automation. To get comparable features plus a CRM, you'd need ManyChat ($15–65/mo) + a separate CRM ($25–100/mo). AurixCRM includes everything for ₹199/user/month.
