01
Say the quiet part first
Chatfuel Light is free. Their limits page says non-AI keyword replies and broadcasts are unlimited; AI has a fair-use pause. If all you need is a free keyword DM on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, Light exists. We will not run an ad that pretends otherwise.
02
Where Xuios still wins
You want follow gates and tracked short links in the same product. You want a published free DM number (1,000) instead of “usage limits apply.” You want AI without paying Chatfuel AI PRO ($69/mo or $49/mo yearly). Xuios Pro is $8.99/mo.
03
Different jobs
Chatfuel is positioning as an AI coworker across Meta surfaces. Xuios is Instagram comment → private reply. Pick the job you actually have.
