Why teams switch
Botmaker got you here. GoChat takes you further.
Botmaker built solid bots for the WhatsApp era. But its proprietary NLU, opaque pricing and heavy implementation cycles make scaling slow. GoChat replaces it with modern AI agents, transparent plans and a growth pod that ships value every week.
Transparent, published pricing
No "request a quote" maze. GoChat publishes plan prices, includes unlimited conversations and adds a growth team on Custom. Botmaker bills per session, per agent, per setup.
Modern AI, not a black box NLU
Plug ChatGPT, Gemini or DeepSeek into autonomous agents with tools and MCP servers. Botmaker's proprietary NLU is hard to debug and slower to adapt to new use cases.

Migration
Move off Botmaker without a rebuild
Export your Botmaker assets
We extract your bot definitions, training intents and WhatsApp templates so nothing is rebuilt from scratch and nothing is lost.
Rebuild on modern AI agents
Hyppo growth experts translate every intent into a GoChat agent with the model you pick. Expect a quality jump: fewer fallbacks, fewer dead-ends.
Cut over WhatsApp + run dual-track
We coordinate the BSP migration with Meta and run both bots in parallel until performance metrics are equal or better. Then we switch.
FAQs
Switching from Botmaker
How does GoChat's pricing compare to Botmaker?
Botmaker bills per session and adds professional-services fees to most projects. GoChat publishes flat plan prices with unlimited conversations included, plus a growth pod on Custom plans.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. GoChat is a direct WhatsApp BSP, so we handle the migration of your existing number with Meta. Your customers see no change.
How does GoChat's AI compare to Botmaker's NLU?
Botmaker uses a proprietary NLU you train with intents and entities. GoChat uses your choice of frontier LLM (ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek) wrapped in autonomous agents with tools. You get higher accuracy out of the box and much faster iteration.
Is GoChat enterprise-ready like Botmaker?
Yes. GoChat ships with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, role-based permissions and SSO. Hyppo also runs the operational side: weekly reviews, dashboards and ongoing flow optimisation.
How long does migration take?
Standard Botmaker migrations land in 3-5 weeks depending on the number of bots and integrations. Complex enterprise migrations with CRMs and back-office systems run 6-8 weeks.
