Why look for a Gallabox alternative
In Gallabox, Instagram is a second channel. Its documentation says rule-based bot flows, broadcasts and templates are available on WhatsApp only, and Instagram is handled by a Chat AI Agent or comment automation. Its own guide suggests using Instagram to move people to WhatsApp.
Gallabox's comment automation is AI-driven: each post gets instructions, an AI classifies comments by intent, and replies use AI credits. GetChat's comment-to-DM is keyword based (or any comment) on every plan, and sends exactly the text, buttons and media you set.
Billing is different. Gallabox plans are billed quarterly or annually, with user caps, AI credits and WhatsApp conversation fees on top. GetChat is not priced per seat: Free is $0 with 300 automated conversations a month, Pro $12 a month and Growth $29 a month.
Where GetChat fits
If a post or Reel drives your sales, GetChat sends a DM to anyone who comments your keyword, on every plan, without AI credits.
Story reply, story mention and reaction triggers, DM keyword triggers and a follow check before the final message are on every plan, including Free.
On Pro and Growth, a reminder DM goes to people who started an automation and did not finish.
Each person who goes through an automation becomes a contact with tags and follow status, exportable as CSV.
When Gallabox is the better fit
WhatsApp is where you sell. Gallabox includes a WhatsApp Business API number, broadcasts, drip sequences, catalog, payments and WhatsApp Flows; GetChat has no WhatsApp.
A team answers customers together. Gallabox has a shared inbox with AI-to-human handoff; GetChat has no inbox and no team seats.
You want AI to classify and answer comments by intent with per-post instructions, or AI agents in DMs. GetChat does not offer AI replies.
You need a website chat agent or integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Zoho, Razorpay, Stripe or Zapier.
