FlowGent puts a real AI agent on your WhatsApp - trained on your own website, PDFs, and docs - and runs the same agent across Instagram, Slack, and web chat. Not a WhatsApp-only catalog tool, but an AI that actually answers your customers.

Zoko is built around WhatsApp catalogs, broadcasts, and rule-based automation (FlowHippo flows, quick replies, templates). FlowGent runs GPT-4 and Claude trained on your website, PDFs, Notion, and YouTube, so it understands intent and answers questions you never scripted - in 95+ languages.
Zoko is a WhatsApp-first commerce suite. Instagram is a paid add-on and it does not handle web chat or Slack the way FlowGent does. FlowGent runs one AI agent across WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Slack, and your website chat widget from a single shared inbox.
Zoko plans run from $24.99/mo (Starter) up to $219.99/mo (Business), on top of WhatsApp conversation fees from Meta, with extras like a per-agent charge and a $9.99/mo Instagram add-on. FlowGent starts at $19/mo with unlimited contacts and pay-per-message credits, so a bigger audience does not automatically mean a bigger bill.
Zoko's catalog, COD, and Shopify-sync features are powerful but assume a full WhatsApp commerce setup. With FlowGent you connect a channel, point the AI at your existing content, and it starts handling conversations - useful even if you are not running a Shopify store.
A side-by-side look at WhatsApp automation, multi-channel reach, and AI depth for each platform.

Zoko charges a monthly platform fee plus WhatsApp conversation costs, with add-ons for Instagram and extra agents. FlowGent uses simple per-message-credit pricing with unlimited contacts. Here is how they compare.
Pay per message, not per contact
Monthly platform fee + WhatsApp conversation costs
This is the core difference between FlowGent and Zoko. Zoko is a WhatsApp commerce suite: catalogs, broadcasts, templates, and rule-based automation built for selling on WhatsApp. FlowGent is an AI agent platform - it uses GPT-4 and Claude trained on your business data to actually understand and answer customer questions across every channel.
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram, Slack, or your website, point the AI at your existing content, and let one agent handle conversations across every channel. Set up in minutes, not days.
