Yapper as a Landbot alternative
Landbot is a no-code platform for marketing and revenue teams to build chat flows and AI agents for websites and WhatsApp. You design each conversation in a visual builder or describe it to its AI Copilot, combine button-based flows with AI answers from your knowledge base, and hand chats to your team in a shared inbox. Plans are sized by chats, AI chats and seats.
Yapper is an AI assistant for service businesses on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and their website. Instead of flows to build and maintain, the assistant reads the whole conversation and answers in your voice from your Handbook, phases and business rules, and hands the conversation to your team when it needs a person, all on one published monthly plan with unlimited teammates.

Switching from Landbot to Yapper
- Build your Yapper assistant: share your website, documents, a voice note or typed answers, and paste in the answers your Landbot flows and knowledge base give today. Text the draft from your phone before you pay.
- Activate your plan and finish the setup chat. The setup assistant fills your Handbook and your business rules with you.
- Disconnect your WhatsApp number and Facebook Page from Landbot so each customer gets one answer, then connect them in Yapper under Settings, Senders. If Meta reports that the number's two-step verification PIN does not match, reset the PIN in WhatsApp Manager and connect again.
- Replace the Landbot widget on your website with the Yapper chat widget, and go live.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to build flows in Yapper?
No. You describe your business, prices and rules to the setup assistant in a chat, and your assistant answers from them. You change how it behaves by editing the Handbook, phases and business rules.
How do I keep the assistant from saying the wrong thing?
You write business rules the assistant never breaks, such as never confirming a booking before the deposit, and it answers from the facts in your Handbook. When it cannot help, it escalates to your team.
Does Yapper have a free plan?
No. You can build your assistant and text it from your phone before you pay, and you pay one monthly plan when you connect your own channels.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. You connect your own number through Meta. A number you use in the WhatsApp Business app keeps working there, and Yapper imports its contacts and chat history.
Does Yapper reply in Spanish and Portuguese?
Yes. It replies in the language each customer writes in, and the dashboard and setup assistant work in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
