TL;DR
- Best for no-code conversational chatbots on web and WhatsApp: Landbot (free tier with 100 chats, visual no-code builder, AI agent chatbots, WhatsApp business integration, lead qualification, pre-built templates, from 40 EUR/mo Starter)
- Best for AI agents with forms, data, workflows, and email: TinyAgents (7 LLM providers, natively connected to TinyForms, TinyTables, TinyWorkflows, TinyEmails, free forever tier)
- Pricing: Landbot free (100 chats/mo), Starter 40 EUR/mo (500 chats + 100 AI chats). TinyCommand free (1,000 credits, all 5 products), paid from $19/mo.
- The core difference: Landbot builds conversational experiences — chatbots on your website and WhatsApp that qualify leads, book meetings, answer FAQs, and collect data through conversations instead of forms. TinyAgents processes business data with AI behind the scenes — scoring leads, drafting emails, enriching records, classifying data. Landbot is the conversation front-end. TinyAgents is the intelligence back-end.

We used to run our lead enrichment and outreach through five different tools. With TinyCommand, it is just one flow.

Landbot has built a devoted following among marketing and sales teams that believe conversations convert better than forms. The visual no-code builder lets non-technical users create chatbot flows with drag-and-drop blocks — questions, conditions, calculations, integrations, and AI responses. Deploy on your website as an embedded chat, a popup, or a full-page conversational landing page. Or deploy on WhatsApp Business for messaging-first lead capture and customer support.
The AI agent capability blends structured conversation flows with generative AI. You design the guardrails — what questions to ask, what data to collect, where to route — and the AI handles the natural language understanding within those guardrails. This hybrid approach gives you the reliability of scripted flows with the flexibility of AI for unexpected questions. Lead scoring, calendar integration, and CRM connections (HubSpot, Airtable, Salesforce via webhooks) make Landbot a complete conversational marketing tool.
TinyAgents does not build conversational front-ends. It is an AI reasoning engine connected to your business data layer. When a form is submitted, AI analyzes it. When a database record changes, AI enriches it. When an email needs sending, AI writes it. The intelligence works silently on your data, not visibly in a chat window. Landbot creates the conversation. TinyAgents processes the outcome.
Where Each Tool Wins
Where Landbot wins
Conversational experience builder. Visual no-code chatbot flows with drag-and-drop. Create engaging conversations that replace boring forms. TinyAgents has no conversation builder.
WhatsApp Business. Automated conversations on WhatsApp with campaigns, opt-in tools, and business messaging. Dedicated WhatsApp plans from 80 EUR/mo. TinyAgents does not support WhatsApp.
Hybrid AI + rules. AI handles natural language within guardrails you design. Reliable enough for lead qualification while flexible enough for unexpected questions.
Conversational landing pages. Full-page chatbot experiences that replace traditional landing pages. Higher conversion for interactive campaigns.
Templates. Pre-built bots for lead gen, FAQ, NPS, e-commerce, and appointment booking. Launch in hours, not days.
Where TinyAgents wins
All-in-one platform. AI + forms + database + workflows + email. Landbot is a chatbot builder only. Backend processing needs separate tools.
7 LLM providers. Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and 4 more. Per-step model selection. Landbot AI uses a single model within its chatbot framework.
Operational AI. Lead scoring, email drafting, data enrichment, classification — tasks beyond conversations. Landbot AI handles conversation, not data processing.
No per-chat pricing. Credits across all products. Landbot charges per chat (0.05 EUR extra) which scales with conversation volume.
Native data pipeline. Form → database → workflow → email → AI — all connected. Landbot sends data to external tools via webhooks/Zapier.
Conversational chatbot builder vs operational AI engine
Landbot's visual builder is its core product. You see your chatbot flow as a flowchart — each node is a message, question, condition, API call, or AI response. Lines connect them showing the conversation path. You test the bot in preview, adjust the flow, and deploy. For marketing teams running lead generation campaigns, this visual approach is intuitive and fast.
The WhatsApp integration is a significant differentiator. With WhatsApp Business API support, Landbot creates automated conversations on the world's most-used messaging platform. Businesses in markets where WhatsApp dominates (Latin America, Europe, Asia) can capture leads, qualify prospects, and provide support through the channel their customers already use. WhatsApp campaigns let you proactively message opt-in contacts — useful for product launches, promotions, and re-engagement.
Templates accelerate deployment. Lead generation bots, FAQ bots, NPS survey bots, e-commerce product showcases, and appointment booking — each template is a starting point you customize. For agencies managing multiple client deployments, templates reduce time-to-launch from days to hours.
But Landbot's scope is the conversation. It does not store data in a flexible database — conversation responses go to external tools via integrations. It does not orchestrate multi-step workflows across 100+ apps — it triggers webhooks and sends data to Zapier. It does not send email campaigns — it collects email addresses and passes them to your email tool. It does not deploy AI agents for data enrichment, lead scoring, or content generation — its AI handles the conversation, not backend analysis.
TinyAgents fills the other half. Where Landbot captures the data through conversation, TinyAgents processes it with intelligence. A Landbot chat collects a lead's name, company, budget, and timeline. TinyAgents scores that lead against your ideal customer profile using Claude or GPT-4. TinyWorkflows routes the scored lead to the right sales rep, updates HubSpot, and triggers a personalized email sequence through TinyEmails. The conversation captures the data. The pipeline processes it.
Landbot's pricing is conversation-based. Starter at 40 EUR/month includes 500 chats and 100 AI chats. Pro at 100 EUR/month includes 2,500 chats and 300 AI chats. Extra chats cost 0.05 EUR each. WhatsApp plans start at 80 EUR/month with separate message pricing. For businesses running high-volume conversational campaigns, costs scale with engagement.
TinyCommand at $19/month includes 10,000 credits across forms, database, workflows, email, and AI. No per-chat pricing. No separate WhatsApp tier. But also no conversational front-end — you use TinyForms for data capture (with a Chat display mode that mimics conversational interaction) and TinyAgents for AI processing.
The ideal architecture for many businesses combines both: Landbot for customer-facing conversational capture on web and WhatsApp, and TinyCommand for backend processing of the captured data through AI scoring, enrichment, workflow automation, and email outreach.
