What I like most is the ability to centralize all messaging channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram into one single dashboard. It makes managing conversations much more organized and ensures that no customer query is ever missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing plans can be a bit steep for smaller businesses or freelancers just starting out. I wish there was a more affordable entry-level tier for very small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about respond.io is how easy it is to use, and the instant responses we get from our customers. It lets us send updates and receive real-time replies from all of our clients in one place. It creates a customer support system that’s simple to maintain, and the implementation is also really quick. We’ve also managed to integrate it with the rest of our system with ease.

Not much to add, to be honest. I just wish the other systems/CRMs we use were all this good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

they add new features constantly and these features help us to improve our customer relations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The respond.io support team has been very reliable, there is always a response whenever support is requested. Their onboarding team, especially Victoria, did a great job by patiently guiding me through the process.

Most importantly, help is readily available when needed. This is especially important in today’s AI-driven environment; having human support behind the AI makes a real difference when issues cannot be resolved automatically.

Overall, it is reassuring to know that there is always a human team available to support customers when it matters most.

I can see the team effort in adding new features every now and then which is great. Shows that the company and team are putting in effort to refine and upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) It would be helpful to continue onboarding support beyond the initial setup — for example, having at least two follow-up sessions, scheduled once every six months. This would allow users to refresh their knowledge, stay engaged, and learn about new features or updates they may not have discovered yet.

Regular touchpoints like these would add strong value and help users maximise the platform’s capabilities over time.

2) It would also be helpful to have clear button options, such as “AI Take Over Now” or “AI Take Over Later”.

For example, after I’ve just finished chatting with a customer, I may want to assign the AI to handle future follow-ups — not immediately. Currently, the AI may respond again right after my last message, which can confuse customers who think they are still speaking to a human.

Having a simple, manual control or confirmation button would give users better clarity and control over when the AI should step in, resulting in a smoother and less confusing customer experience.

3) The knowledge source still not stable in pulling in information for the AI agents.

4) Please keep the platform simple, intuitive, and easy to use as you continue upgrading. Aim for the Steve Jobs / iPhone philosophy — if a child can understand and use it, adoption will naturally increase.

Avoid making the interface overly complex like Google Ads, which often feels built only for programmers. Likewise, Facebook Ads can feel cluttered and lacking clear direction. Simplicity, clarity, and guided flows will greatly improve user experience and engagement.

Spare a thought for end users, many are not programmers, we can't understand if it's too complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are really satisfied with respond.io’s implementation of the WhatsApp Business API. The team is always available to help with setting up chatflows and implementing the CAPI. The CAPI integration has helped us improve the performance of our Meta campaigns, increase lead quality, and, as a result, improve our conversion rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is slightly higher compared to some other platforms. However, when we consider advanced features such as CAPI integration, WhatsApp calling, and call recording, the investment becomes justifiable and cost-effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about respond.io is how it centralizes all customer conversations in one place. Managing WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and other channels from a single inbox makes our support and sales workflows much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about respond.io is that some advanced features and automations have a learning curve, especially when setting them up for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Ease of Use: Intuitive interface; agents can become productive quickly with minimal training.

• Ease of Implementation: Setup is straightforward, and the core workflows can be launched fast without heavy development.

• Customer Support: Responsive and knowledgeable; issues are handled clearly and with good follow-through.

• Frequency of Use: Used daily as the central hub for inbound and outbound messaging across channels.

• Number of Features: Strong breadth across inbox, automation, routing, analytics, and team management without feeling bloated.

• Ease of Integration: Integrates well with CRMs and internal tools via native integrations, webhooks, and API—supports scalable workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced automations have a learning curve, especially when you want more complex branching and edge-case handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that respond.io allows me to communicate with my clients or potential clients through different channels like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and email, all centralized in one inbox. This facilitates communication and CRM-type control, allowing for more organized management without having to open different applications. What I like the most is that it is easy to use, it doesn't complicate you with technical things or API conditions. Moreover, the initial setup was super easy, in less than a day we had everything ready to answer our clients' frequently asked questions. It is undoubtedly the best tool there is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, I think that maybe the app sometimes doesn't notify, but I have solved it with some automations that are integrated with it, so, more than anything, the app could be improved just a little bit, but apart from that, everything works quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Respond.io stands out as a serious omnichannel platform rather than a simple chat inbox. What I like most is how flexible and structured it is for building real business workflows across WhatsApp and other messaging channels.

The workflow automation is powerful enough to handle lead qualification, routing, follow-ups, escalation rules, and handover between AI and human agents without breaking. This makes it suitable for complex setups such as multi-outlet businesses, agencies, and teams with strict SOPs.

Integrations are another major strength. Respond.io works very well with external CRMs, booking tools, webhooks, and automation platforms, allowing us to design end-to-end systems instead of disconnected tools. Once set up properly, it is very reliable and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve, especially for teams that are new to automation or system-based thinking. Respond.io is not a plug-and-play tool, and users who expect instant results without proper setup may struggle initially.

Because the platform evolves quickly, teams need to keep their internal documentation and SOPs updated. Without this discipline, it is easy for less experienced users to misconfigure workflows or overcomplicate things.

Pricing can feel high for small businesses if they are not fully utilising automation, integrations, or multi-agent features. The value becomes clear only when the platform is used properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the onboarding process and the automations, especially how they allow me to handle tasks on my own without needing any technical expertise or prior knowledge of the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no contracts available for my customers, and I also don't have the ability to select or create different plans or pricing models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
