The simpler Social Intents alternative
Slack live chat without the price tag or the feature bloat — start free, then $15 a site.
Social Intents is feature-rich — AI chatbots and multi-channel on every plan — but its real entry is $39/month annual, the highest of the Slack-native tools. OhhChats does the core job, chat-to-Slack, starting free and then $15/site. If you don't need the full AI/multi-channel suite, OhhChats is far cheaper and simpler.
Why people look for a Social Intents alternative
- Entry price is $39/month annual (more month-to-month) — the priciest of the three.
- The AI and multi-channel breadth is real, but many small teams pay for features they never switch on.
- No free tier — trial only.

Where OhhChats wins
Price. $0 to start, $15/site after, versus a $39 entry. For a small business that just needs chat-to-Slack, you're paying less than half for the part you'll actually use.
Simplicity. Social Intents asks a non-technical owner to evaluate AI chat limits, channels, and agent tiers. OhhChats asks one question: how many sites? That fits the non-technical owner better.
Free tier. Prove it works before paying — Social Intents only offers a 14-day trial.
Where Social Intents wins (be honest)
If you genuinely want AI chatbots and WhatsApp/SMS handling bundled in, Social Intents delivers that breadth today and OhhChats doesn't. For teams that will use those features, the higher price can be worth it. We're the better pick when you want the core job done cheaply and simply.
Who should switch
Switch if you want chat-to-Slack without paying for an AI/multi-channel suite, or you want to start free. Stay if your team relies on bundled AI chatbots and multi-channel today.
