bitbybit was built AI-native from day one — every surface (bitChat, bitCRM, AI Studio, broadcast) shaped around the agent in the conversation. The bet is unified architecture: one customer record, one agent, one platform fee across 50+ countries. SleekFlow launched its inbox in 2019 and added AgentFlow in 2025. bitbybit shipped with the agent already inside.
bitbybit is the answer when WhatsApp + Shopify commerce is the centre of gravity and you’d rather pay one flat platform fee per brand than a per-seat bill that compounds with team size. Pick bitbybit if you want Shopify Partner-verified native in-thread cart and payment, AI-native architecture from day one (bitChat, bitCRM, AI Studio shipped together with the agent at the centre), one customer record across support + marketing + broadcast + bitApp + bitLink, per-platform flat-rate pricing ($99/mo Standard, $299/mo Pro Bundle), Indonesian roots, and deployment across 1,000+ brands in 50+ countries.
Pick SleekFlow if your team is APAC-based with HKD finance ops, you want one of the most polished multi-channel surfaces in the category (WhatsApp + Instagram + TikTok + SMS + email + calls), AgentFlow’s AI GTM workforce maps to how you sell, named customers like Eau Thermale Avène / BowTie / Awfully Chocolate / Medilase resemble your roster, and per-user pricing (Pro AI HK$399/user, Premium AI HK$579/user) fits your buying motion.
Bottom line: SleekFlow’s Pro AI starts at HK$399/user/month with a 3-user minimum (~HK$1,199/$153/mo); Premium AI HK$579/user with 5-user minimum (~HK$2,859/$365/mo). bitbybit Standard is $99/mo and Pro Bundle is $299/mo — per-platform, flat-rate, Shopify-native commerce on every plan.
SleekFlow is the polished APAC AI conversation platform — multi-channel surface across WhatsApp + Instagram + TikTok + SMS + email + calls, AgentFlow AI GTM workforce, Official Meta partnership, mostly APAC customer base with named global brands (Eau Thermale Avène). bitbybit is built around the Shopify commerce thread — Shopify Partner-verified with native in-thread cart and payment, AI Studio + bitCRM + bitChat + bitApp + bitLink on one customer record, Indonesian roots, 1,000+ brands across 50+ countries, per-platform flat-rate pricing. Both can put a Shopify product into a WhatsApp conversation. The wedges are billing model (per-user vs per-platform), Shopify Partner status (verified vs not named), and reach (APAC-heavy vs 50+ countries).
Built around the support queue. WhatsApp arrived as a channel; commerce was added as a layer on top.
Best for: Support orgs where WhatsApp is one of several inbound channels and revenue is not the primary KPI.
Built around the commerce thread — agents qualify, cart, close, and retain inside WhatsApp, with Shopify as source of truth.
Best for: D2C and Shopify brands where WhatsApp is the primary — or live — sales and retention surface.
APAC-rooted multi-channel AI conversation platform. Hero copy: “AI suite for revenue-driving conversations.” AgentFlow (their AI GTM workforce) added in 2025 with WhatsApp catalog and payment links. Official Meta partner. 2,000+ businesses, named customers including Eau Thermale Avène, BowTie, Awfully Chocolate, Medilase, JomCharge.
SleekFlow’s Pro AI is HK$399/user/mo with a 3-user minimum (~HK$1,199/$153/mo total); Premium AI is HK$579/user with 5-user minimum (~HK$2,859/$365/mo total). Hiring scales the bill linearly. bitbybit Standard at $99/mo and Pro Bundle at $299/mo are per-platform flat-rate — the bill is the bill regardless of team size.
SleekFlow ships WhatsApp catalog and payment links through AgentFlow. bitbybit is a Shopify Partner — native in-thread cart creation, live inventory inside the AI reply, payment links, and post-purchase flows that survive across plan tiers. The Partner verification is the depth signal.
SleekFlow bills $15/mo for every hosted WhatsApp Business number on paid plans. Three country numbers means ~$540/year before a single campaign goes out. bitbybit plans include multiple numbers without a per-number surcharge.
SleekFlow is APAC-rooted (Hong Kong origins) with strong APAC customer concentration. bitbybit was built in Indonesia, ships in Bahasa Indonesia formal + slang + Indo-English mix natively, and operates across 1,000+ brands in 50+ countries on the same platform. Same APAC quality, broader market surface.
SleekFlow launched its inbox in 2019 and unveiled AgentFlow as their AI suite in July 2025. bitbybit was built unified — support, marketing, broadcast, CRM, AI agent, Shopify-native commerce — on one customer record from the start. For Shopify brands whose KPI is recovered orders, the shape matters as much as the feature list.
Rows are value-framed (what changes in your operation), not feature-framed. The "so what" column is the question your CFO will ask anyway.

A 5-user Pro AI deployment lands at roughly HK$1,995/$254/mo; a 5-user Premium AI deployment at roughly HK$2,895/$370/mo, plus per-number surcharges. bitbybit Standard at $99/mo and Pro Bundle at $299/mo are per-platform flat-rate — no per-user multiplication, no per-number surcharge — with Shopify-native commerce, AI Studio, bitCRM, bitApp, and bitLink included.
Three scenarios where SleekFlow is what you should buy. We’d rather lose the demo than waste your quarter.
Not sure which platform fits?
30-minute scoping call. We’ll tell you honestly — including when SleekFlow or another tool is the right call for you.
SleekFlow’s homepage advertises WhatsApp catalog and payment links via AgentFlow — “sync your inventory to showcase products and let customers browse, add items to their cart, and pay directly in WhatsApp.” The depth of the underlying Shopify integration is worth verifying directly with SleekFlow against your specific stack (e.g., live inventory grounding for the AI, order management beyond the cart). bitbybit is Shopify Partner-verified with native in-thread cart creation, live inventory in every AI reply, payment links, and order management — depth backed by the Partner verification.
SleekFlow’s pricing is per-user: Pro AI HK$399/user/mo with a 3-user minimum (~HK$1,199/$153/mo total); Premium AI HK$579/user with a 5-user minimum (~HK$2,859/$365/mo total). Additional users on either plan cost HK$199/mo each. WhatsApp Business numbers add $15/mo per hosted number after upgrade from the Free tier. Enterprise is custom and not published. A 5-user Pro AI deployment with two country numbers lands around HK$1,995/$254 + $30 = roughly $284/mo. bitbybit Pro Bundle at $299/mo is per-platform flat-rate with multiple numbers included.
bitbybit is WhatsApp-first by design. If Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger carry roughly equal volume to WhatsApp and equal-depth tooling across all three is the requirement, SleekFlow’s multi-channel inbox is the better fit for that specific shape of work. For brands where WhatsApp is the primary commerce surface, the depth bitbybit offers there is the trade-off in the other direction.
AgentFlow is a 2025 AI suite layered on a 2019 inbox; the agent and the underlying record were built at different times. bitbybit was unified day one — six named AI Studio skills (Product Recommendation, Create Order, Order Tracking, Data Collection, Follow-up, Escalation) sit on the same customer record as the broadcast tool and the support inbox. The agent can recognise, remember, and act because nothing is bolted on.
