Questions people ask

Is MagizAI cheaper than Chatling?

Not if Chatling's Free plan is enough for you: it lists 200 AI credits a month, and MagizAI has no free plan. On paid plans it depends on the model you pick: Chatling Starter is $25 a month with 1,750 AI credits, 2 seats and 2 AI agents. MagizAI Starter is $20 a month with 2,000 AI messages, 3 seats and 3 chatbots.

How many AI replies do Chatling credits buy?

It depends on the model. Chatling's pricing page lists 0.5 credits for a reply from Gemini 2.5 Flash, 1 credit from GPT-4.1 Mini and up to 25 credits from its costliest models, so the 1,750 credits on Starter cover a different number of replies for each. Extra credits are $10 a month per 1,000.

Can I use my own AI key with Chatling?

Its pricing page does not list that option; paid plans list 36 AI models that are paid for with credits. On MagizAI's BYOK plan you add your own key from Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or another supported provider for $10 a month and pay the provider for usage.

Does MagizAI work on WhatsApp like Chatling?

Yes, on every plan, through Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API: one number per workspace, plain text messages, and replies inside Meta's 24-hour window. Chatling lists WhatsApp from its Starter plan, next to Instagram, Messenger and Telegram, where MagizAI does not answer.

Can I move from Chatling to MagizAI?

Yes. Add the MagizAI snippet to your site, let it read your pages, and remove the Chatling script. If that takes you longer than a few minutes, our team sets it up for you at no cost.
