Avaamo vs. MobileMonkey

For a customer centric organisation looking for a future proof approach towards customer service this could be very much be well suited if you have the capital and/or patience. Providing intuitive AI that can provide huge value to enterprise organisations, but perhaps less so to smaller ones that could deal with the customer experience on a more human / personal level

MobileMonkey would be great if you have a really strong social media presence and want to capitalize on people visiting your pages. It's great if you have a tech friendly audience who is not afraid to talk to a chatbot. If you have an audience where they might be uncomfortable or more of an "uptight" audience then it might not be fore you. It's also not great for heavy B2B if your focus is on high level targets as they're likely not logged in to Facebook at work. B2C is probably the best function for MobileMonkey, although it could be used to help field support messages.

MobileMonkey support is second to none when you have a paid plan. Always willing to help and make your life a lot easier when you're facing any technical difficulties or frustrations. When I was on the free plan, I found plenty of useful resources that helped me solve my problems, and I could still contact support for help.

Avaamo becomes clearly the stand-out option of the 2020s as other platforms don't quite stack up. The team at Avaamo are at the forefront of the technology and the only way is up. This is not for every organisation as it's very much enterprise level but if your aim is the experience of the end user then Avaamo or a very similar option will be paramount

MobileMonkey is a lot less expensive than both Olark and Drift. We chose MobileMonkey because we were hoping the familiar interface and integration between social and the website would drive more interest which would lead to conversion and revenue. It's more of a chatbot than Intercom in that Intercom is really good for customer support, but MM is a nice way to get people interested by sharing high level data through a conversation that doesn't require a real person. However, Olark, Drift, and Intercom all integrate with the major CRMs and marketing automation platforms which gives them a real edge over MobileMonkey at this time.

• It has become a quick sunk-cost due to the amount of time I had to spend ignoring/blocking their unsolicited marketing/communication attempts.
