Your WhatsApp — as a real CRM.

First, the honest part

Is Zoko actually wrong for you?

Zoko is a strong Shopify-focused WhatsApp tool. If its catalog and commerce flows are central to how you sell, it may be the right fit. The honest split:

Stay with Zoko if
  • You lean heavily on Zoko’s WhatsApp catalog / shop flows to sell.
  • You’ve built campaigns and automations you’d rather not rebuild.
  • Your team is larger and price isn’t the deciding factor.
  • You need features beyond inbox + contacts + broadcast.
Switch to WhatsApp CRM if
  • You want one flat $19/mo with Meta’s message fees paid directly to Meta.
  • You want a free tier that’s a real CRM, not a trial.
  • You mainly need a shared inbox, a contact list and broadcasts — without a $49+ plan.
  • You want WhatsApp tied to your Shopify customers, orders and cart recovery, simply.
Why they leave

What solo pros tell us

Why Shopify owners go looking for a Zoko alternative.

01

Entry price adds up

A higher monthly plan plus Meta’s per-conversation fees on top makes the real cost hard to read.

FavCRM is $19 flat. Meta bills you directly at Meta’s rate — we add $0.

02

Free was a trial

A clock or a widget isn’t a CRM you can run your store on.

FavCRM’s free tier is a real CRM — inbox, contacts and pipeline, no card.

03

More tool than you need

If you mainly answer customers and send the odd broadcast, a full commerce suite is overkill.

FavCRM does the core jobs well: inbox, contacts, pipeline, broadcast, automation.

04

Chats with no record

A broadcast tool without a customer record behind each chat leaves you guessing.

FavCRM keeps a contact, history and pipeline stage behind every conversation.

Head to head

Zoko

Commerce-rich, but priced above $19.

Zoko is a well-built, Shopify-focused WhatsApp platform — strong if WhatsApp catalog and commerce flows are core to your store.

Its plans start above $19, and Meta’s per-conversation fees apply on top. Verify current pricing at zoko.io.

If you mainly need a shared inbox, contacts and broadcasts on a small Shopify store, FavCRM covers the same core jobs at a flat $19 with a free real-CRM tier.

Where it stops

What WhatsApp CRM is not.
