Karobar vs SleekFlow

Who each tool fits

SleekFlow fits teams that talk to customers on many channels at once: WhatsApp and Instagram, but also a website widget, SMS, email, Telegram, Viber, LINE or WeChat. It also fits businesses whose store runs on Shopify, those that want Stripe or Shopify payment links in chat, and those that use HubSpot or Zoho and need a ticketing system. Both paid plans include 10 user accounts.

Karobar fits shops and small brands that take orders in chats: a customer asks about a product on Instagram, confirms on WhatsApp and pays cash on delivery. Karobar keeps the chat, the order, the payment status, the courier and the tracking link together, and sends the customer updates as the order moves. It also brings comments from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and Google reviews into the same place, with Karobar AI drafting replies from your own catalogue and stock. It starts at one user for $20 a month.

Put simply, if you need a website widget, SMS, email, Telegram, Viber, LINE or WeChat today, or your store runs on Shopify, SleekFlow offers those and Karobar does not yet. If you sell from chats without a website store and need to track orders and couriers, Karobar was built around that job.

Pricing explained

SleekFlow's prices were shown in US$ on its English pricing page on 3 October 2026. They may vary, so check the page when you read this. The page displays the yearly price per month, and also shows the yearly total.

SleekFlow counts monthly active contacts, and says a contact is active only if they send you a message or you send them one, across the inbox, Flow Builder, AI Agent and API. Recipients of a one-way broadcast who do not reply are not counted. When you pass your limit, SleekFlow adds 100 contacts at a time. The pricing page also lists a US$15 monthly WhatsApp number hosting fee, conversation rates per the SleekFlow rate card, and an onboarding add-on at US$999, one off. SleekFlow gives new users a full 7-day Pro trial with no credit card, and we did not find a free plan.

Karobar's plans are priced in USD. Individual is $20 a month for 1 user, 1 of each account type and 1,000 contacts. Team is $39 for 3 users, 3 of each account type and 5,000 contacts. Brand is $59 for 5 users and 15,000 contacts, and Enterprise is $199 for 10 users and 50,000 contacts. Each plan includes AI credits (200, 400, 600 and 2,000 a month), and extra credits cost $1 per 100. Paying yearly saves 12%. An account type means one connected Facebook page, Instagram account, TikTok account, WhatsApp number, YouTube channel, Google Business Profile, or Meta, TikTok or Snapchat ad account. Details are on the pricing page.

Contacts are counted differently. Karobar plans show a contact allowance, while SleekFlow counts monthly active contacts. A fair comparison starts from your own numbers: how many people you actually message in a month, and how many users you need. Each tool also spends AI on its own terms, so do not compare raw AI numbers either.

WhatsApp message fees. Meta charges businesses per message on the official WhatsApp API, and from 1 October 2026 it also charges for service replies after the first 1,000 a month for each business phone number (Meta's pricing page). SleekFlow's FAQ says WhatsApp charges a messaging fee for each template message sent, as set by Meta, and its WhatsApp pricing calculator helps estimate it. Whichever tool you choose, ask how message fees reach your bill before you send a large campaign.

Channels

Both tools cover WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger and TikTok. SleekFlow's pricing page lists a longer set: Gmail, Outlook, VoIP, SMS, WeChat, Telegram, Viber and LINE as well. Its AI Growth Widget embeds a floating chat bar or button on your website. Karobar does not have a website chat widget yet (it is coming soon), and SMS and email are also still on the way. Telegram, Viber, LINE and WeChat are not available in Karobar.

On Karobar, WhatsApp connects through the official Cloud API, or you can link a number you already use in the WhatsApp Business app. Comments from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and your Google Business Profile reviews arrive in the same app as your DMs, so one team handles all of them. See unified inbox. We did not find comments or Google reviews listed on SleekFlow's pricing page, so we cannot say whether SleekFlow offers them.

Automation and AI

SleekFlow's Flow Builder automates conversations without writing code, and its example use case is an FAQ chatbot with interactive buttons and generative AI. Its Broadcast Campaign sends bulk messages to selected contacts on their favourite messaging channels. AI Agents are listed on the Pro plan, and WhatsApp Flow is listed on Premium. We did not find comment to DM automation on SleekFlow's pages, so we make no claim either way.

Karobar's automation is aimed at the questions a shop answers every day:

• Keyword auto replies on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and TikTok. See inbox auto reply and our guide to the WhatsApp 24-hour window.
• Conversation starters on Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.
• Chatbot flows on WhatsApp only. See chatbots and flows.
• Comment to DM on Instagram and Facebook: an opening DM with a button, a link DM, a follow-up and rotating public replies. See comment to DM and the Instagram comment to DM guide.
• WhatsApp templates and broadcasts, written in the app and sent to Meta for approval. See WhatsApp marketing.

Karobar AI drafts replies from your catalogue, prices, variants, stock status (available, few left, sold out), business details and saved knowledge, and a person on your team sends them. It drafts replies to comments and Google reviews too, and the Karobar AI agent answers questions about your ads, inbox and sales. Karobar also shows insights from your Meta, TikTok and Snapchat ad accounts.

Commerce and orders

Both tools help you sell in chat, in different ways. SleekFlow's payment links let agents generate carts, offer discounts and send pre-populated Stripe or Shopify payment links in chat. Its catalogue type is Shopify or custom, and with Shopify it automatically captures payments and places orders there. Its Shopify integration syncs Shopify data in real time to the inbox and lets agents create shopping carts and checkout links in chats.

Karobar's Sales Desk works without a website store, which suits sellers whose shop is their Instagram or WhatsApp:

• Create an order from the chat you are in, with cash on delivery, advance or partial payments, and a confirmation status.
• Add the courier and tracking number. Tracking links are made automatically for TCS, Leopards, PostEx, Trax, Swyft and Daraz.
• Send Notify customer messages when an order is confirmed, paid, shipped or delivered.
• Keep a product catalogue with variants, imported from CSV or XLSX, and stock per warehouse. Stock changes through stock documents, not automatically when an order is placed.
• Sync your WhatsApp catalogue with Meta in both directions. Carts sent from the WhatsApp catalogue become orders automatically.

The limits, plainly: Karobar has no Shopify or WooCommerce integration, no Stripe or Shopify payment links, and does not book couriers. If your orders start in a Shopify store, SleekFlow connects to it and Karobar does not. Our guide to taking orders from Instagram DMs walks through the Karobar routine.

Team inbox and users

In Karobar, the owner invites team members and chooses which parts of the app each one can open. Chats are assigned by hand or automatically to the teammate with the fewest open chats, and only the assigned person can send in that chat. See team inbox. Karobar runs in the browser at app.karobar.io on phones and computers; native iOS and Android apps are coming but are not public yet. The app and AI replies work in English, Roman Urdu, Urdu, Arabic, German, Malay and Thai.

SleekFlow includes 10 user accounts on both Pro and Premium, which is a larger allowance than Karobar's Individual, Team and Brand plans. Role-based access control and a ticketing system are listed on Premium. SleekFlow's website shows a Get Our App link in its footer, but we could not confirm which stores or features it covers, so we say nothing more about it.

Switching considerations

Before you move between SleekFlow and Karobar, go through this list:

1. List what you use. If you depend on the website widget, SMS, email, Telegram, Viber, LINE, WeChat, Shopify, Stripe links, HubSpot or Zoho, Karobar does not offer these today.
2. Plan the WhatsApp number move. Ask both providers how your number and its approved templates move across, and pick a quiet hour for the change.
3. Export your contacts and import them into the new tool.
4. Rebuild your chatbots and auto replies. Automations do not transfer between tools, so note what each one does before you switch.
5. Set up your catalogue. In Karobar, import products from CSV or XLSX or sync your WhatsApp catalogue with Meta.
6. Use the trial. Both tools offer 7 days free. Run real chats and a few real orders through it before you decide.
