eksis vs ManyChat
ManyChat is an automation tool that does not publish. eksis does both, and does not count your contacts.
Both figures are for 20 social accounts on monthly billing, taken from each vendor's public pricing page in August 2026. Check the current page before you decide — published prices change.
What each costs for 20 accounts
ManyChat's bill is driven by active contacts, so a campaign that works costs more than one that does not — the price rises exactly when the automation succeeds. eksis charges for the workspace; a rule that answers ten thousand comments costs the same as one that answers ten.
Where eksis and ManyChat actually differ
ManyChat goes deeper on conversational flows and commerce integrations inside a chat. eksis covers the whole loop instead: schedule the post, catch the comments it produces, answer them automatically, and keep the conversation in the same inbox as every other channel.
Who should switch, and who should not
Switch if you are paying for a chatbot and a scheduler separately, or if contact-based pricing has made a successful campaign expensive. Stay on ManyChat if long branching chat flows are the product itself.
This page is written by eksis, so read it as an argument rather than a neutral review. Every number is sourced from the other vendor's own pricing page, and the section above says plainly where ManyChat is the better fit.
Frequently asked questions
- Does eksis build branching chat flows?
- Not in the way a chatbot builder does. eksis rules are trigger, condition, action — enough to answer the questions that repeat, not a full conversational designer.

- vs Hootsuite Hootsuite is the enterprise incumbent, priced accordingly. For a small team running twenty accounts, the gap is the widest on this site.
- vs Sprout Social Sprout Social is built for marketing teams with a reporting budget. eksis is built for the operator who has to answer the comments.
- vs Publer Publer is the closest competitor on price, and the comparison turns on one thing: what happens when you add the tenth account.
