Who should choose which
Choose Connectly if
- your customers already write to you on WhatsApp and you want an agent that serves and sells to them through an official channel.
- you run retail, healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, utilities or education and want an agent built by specialists.
- you need agents wired into order, payment, help desk and e-commerce systems such as VTEX and Magento.
- you want a vendor that builds, launches and tunes the agent for you, with launch in about 2 weeks.
Choose Sellinger if
- you want to reach new buyers: the agent finds them in a database of 700M+ contacts and writes to each one.
- you want LinkedIn and email beside WhatsApp, Instagram replies and live chat in one thread and one record.
- you want a built in CRM with contacts, deals and every conversation, and a plan price you can read.
- you want to start small: plans from $490 a month, with approval mode so you read messages before they send.
Two different jobs
Connectly agents answer people who already know the company, such as a shopper asking about an order, and can also sell to them. The home page lists retail, healthcare and pharmacy, financial services, telecommunications, utilities and education.
Sellinger works the other end. It finds people who do not know you yet, writes to each one, follows up and answers when they reply. If your need is service for existing customers, a tool like Connectly fits better. If your need is pipeline, Sellinger fits better.
WhatsApp on each side
Connectly states it is a Meta Business Solution Provider, so its WhatsApp agents run through the official business messaging route that Meta approves, which suits a company messaging its customers at scale.
Sellinger works on WhatsApp through your connected WhatsApp account. It sends first messages and follow ups and answers people who write first. WhatsApp itself limits outbound messaging, so first messages run at a small daily volume. That suits targeted outreach to a few buyers, and not a broadcast to a customer base.
Who builds the agent
At Connectly, specialists design, launch and tune each agent, and most go live in under a month. That removes work from your team and is priced by scope and volume through a quote.
In Sellinger you describe the offer and the buyer once, the agent drafts the messages, and you read the first ones in approval mode before releasing a batch. You can change the campaign yourself at any time.
Switching between Connectly and Sellinger
These two rarely replace each other, so most teams add one beside the other. If you do move, plan the handover.
- Decide which conversations belong to Sellinger: new prospects from outbound, not existing customers.
- Keep Connectly for customer service and support chats if they are the work it was built for.
- Connect LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp accounts in Sellinger, write the offer once and read the first drafts in approval mode.
- Track replies and meetings per account for several weeks before you widen the outbound work.
- WhatsApp numbers tied to Connectly's official route are a separate setup from a connected account in Sellinger, so do not point both at one number.
- We have not checked what Connectly exports, so keep your own copy of conversation history.
