A ManyChat alternative
built on your Shopify catalog
No flows to design. Connect your Shopify store and Sauzy answers Instagram DMs from your real products, variants, and stock — checkout stays on your own store.
A catalog that answers, not a flow you maintain
| Sauzy | Flow-Builder Tools (e.g. ManyChat) | |
|---|---|---|
| What answers come from | Your live Shopify catalog — product, variant, and stock data, read directly. | The flows, keywords, and canned replies you build and maintain by hand. |
| Setup | Connect Instagram + Shopify, set a tone, go live in minutes. | Design conversation flows, triggers, and conditions yourself — or adapt a template. |
| “Got it in medium?” | Checked against real inventory, per variant. Sold-out never gets promised. | Only as accurate as the flow — stock isn't checked unless you built that in. |
| Checkout | A cart link to your own Shopify store — your discounts, shipping, and taxes apply as normal. | Varies by setup; commerce is typically layered on top of the flow builder. |
| When it can't answer | Hands the conversation to you automatically, with the full history already loaded. | Falls back to whatever path you designed for that case — or the flow dead-ends. |
| Pricing | One flat fee by conversation volume. No message credits, no commission on sales. | Commonly priced by contacts/subscribers, with add-ons for extra automation. |
“Flow-builder tools” describes the category of keyword/trigger-based automation platforms generally, of which ManyChat is a well-known example — not a claim about any specific plan or feature ManyChat currently offers.
Switching, answered
Is Sauzy a ManyChat alternative or a replacement?
It replaces the need to build flows for product and stock questions. Instead of designing conversation paths, you connect your Shopify store and the AI answers from your real catalog — including questions you never anticipated.
Do I need to build a flow to get started?
No. There's nothing to design. Connect your Instagram account and your Shopify store, set your tone once, and the AI starts answering from your live catalog.
Can it handle questions a flow wouldn't have anticipated?
Yes — that's the core difference. A flow only answers what it was built to answer. Sauzy is grounded in your actual product data, so it can answer questions about products, variants, and stock that no one wrote a script for.
What happens to conversations it can't answer confidently?
It hands the conversation to you instantly, with the full message history loaded — no flow dead-end, no lost context.
Does switching mean migrating my Shopify catalog?
No. Sauzy reads your existing Shopify products and variants directly — nothing to re-enter, nothing to migrate. Customers still check out on your own Shopify store.
How is pricing different?
Sauzy is priced on AI-handled conversation volume, with the Shopify integration included on every plan — no separate cost for commerce features. See the pricing page for current plans.
