Chatfuel is great for a small team looking to easily implement and set up Facebook chatbots for their clients for ease of community management, etc. Chatfuel is not necessarily meant for large scale operations that require complex workflows and chatbot requirements, it is limited to Facebook Messenger and is not 100% intuitive in this regard.

Indicated for those who have good knowledge of programming and coding in HTML and JSON, that is, it is not suitable for beginners or users without much technical knowledge. It is suitable for those who want to integrate with various platforms, such as Telegram, Webhat, Facebook Messenger, among others. I also recommend it to anyone who needs to create a chatbot in several languages (it is not automatic translation). Recommended to create new projects in CX environment and not in ES.

It just delivers, even being somewhat rough to get used to it. Users just love it as it feels polished - very well balanced, good chat flows, good workflows, good response time and good usability. It's just somewhat complicated to setup at first glance though, with a semi steep learning curve compared to other solutions around the market.

Dialogflow is a wonderful tool that is helping to design customized chatbots. I personally recommend if you wanna know how it's works give it a try with a free APIs call, you'll love this tool

Alternatives Considered
Chatfuel
Both offer bot service to reply to messages from Facebook. The difference is that Chatfuel gives you the option of being able to create conversion funnels or fixed conversation changes.
Connecting to our API is free from Chatfuel and integration with other providers has an additional cost.
AIVO has no option to create conversation flows if not through keywords.
