Appy Pie
Based on my personal experience, this application is well-suited for noncoders who are busy setting up their businesses and since coders are expensive for the company in the initial days as in for startups, this application goes hand in hand and is quick and robust along with its amazing features like drag and drop and just the cloud storage facility.

I found that ManyChat is a strong tool when receiving incoming messages, being able to create a tree of potential responses based on options given to the initiator. There is also a huge potential for complex automation (as long as the environment required by Facebook in order to send outgoing messages is maintained).

Cons
Appy Pie
  • The application requires to be run on fast processing computers/laptops
  • This is a good application that isn't much known among non-coders, it needs to be marketed so that boosts this app developer to add more advanced features
  • It seems to have little bugs for the mobile app.

  • Honestly, the only thing I don't like about ManyChat is their support. It seems to be almost non existent. However, that concern is negated by having a fantastic user base that helps each other out on Facebook.

Usability
Appy Pie
Like I said in previous questions, the no-code application has basic and easy features that are literally a no-brainer and even a person with zero knowledge of coding can do wonders with this as his/her tool. Apart from that, the application is cost-effective while time and money are two key things to be taken care of as a startup owner, this app came hand in hand with me

ManyChat is a great tool, provides loads of features, integrations and just saves you a whole load of time once all set up. If you aren't tech-savvy or used to how digital marketing tools work, it can appear complicated. That's how I felt initially 2 years ago, and after watching tutorials online I had a better understanding of it. This is why I rated it a 7, as it's not a tool that you can just play around with and guess how it works. There's definitely a learning curve with it so I recommend doing the free training and watching video tutorials.

Support Rating
Appy Pie
I have been using this for some time now and the website of the no-code application is all self-explanatory that is the reason I never have reached to the support team anytime, but before using this application I have gone through the reviews and read the positive response and I believe it has still gotten stronger since then.

There is room for improvement but frankly, we haven't had the need to request for support. Everything is pretty easy to setup and there are very useful video explanation guides and walkthroughs on ManyChat's YouTube channel. The only challenge we have had was to integrate it with Zapier, it's a bit tricky because you need to do a setup workaround first, but nothing too complicated.

Webflow has quite a lot of complexity in comparison to the no-code app which instead is user-friendly. There are more issues with application getting hung in between working but that isn't a bigger problem in the no-code app. Apart from that, the no-code app has blocks that can be used to edit/add/delete which are literally a no-brainer.

I've worked in the past with Chatfuel. However, I decided to switch to ManyChat due to a variety of reasons. Overall, ManyChat offers much more functionality out of the box (e.g., Facebook comments tool), sequence builders are much more intuitive. Also, they provide flexible pay as you go pricing plan, which is perfect for a startup like us.

Return on Investment

  • Saved my money with low cost feature like cloud storage

ManyChat
  • For the intended application, we experienced a negative ROI due to the inconsistency in the ability to maintain the automation without incoming responses. Since it is a free service that was meant to lead to paid services organically, the inconsistencies prevented the desired outcome.
  • We did experience a higher conversion rate with basic incoming messages with questions about services or products due to the ability to have pre-created responses and direction immediately supporting the prospect.
