A lot of users are confused about the differences between PostJelly and ManyChat (or other chatbot platform). In this article, I will try to explain the differences clearly.

The biggest difference
Simply put, Manychat, Chatfuel and similar platforms are chatbot building platforms. They mostly use Messenger API, they focus on handling the chat (conversation) between customers and business page owners INSIDE Messenger.
On the other hand, PostJelly is a post comment automation tool. It uses Facebook page API, and based on different set of rules (e.g. keywords matching / random / delay), it can automatically reply to COMMENTS publicly, privately, or both at the same time.
You can think of it this way: PostJelly is like an add-on for your chatbot that helps you grow your subscribers.
While ManyChat's comment-to-messenger growth tool can only do single private message, PostJelly enriches this feature making it more powerful. Below is a chart that could help you understand more:
PostJelly | ManyChat / Chatfuel | |
|---|---|---|
Chatbot building | no | yes |
Collect Subscribers | no | yes |
Broadcast message | no | yes |
Comment-to-Messenger | reply different messages base on different keywords | only one reply message |
Auto reply on comment | keyword matching / random / delay / reply using image | no |
Auto like comment | yes | no |
