Five reasons small businesses choose Convelly
Elly remembers every customer and answers on every plan
On Superchat, the AI agent is a Professional-plan feature. In Convelly, Elly is part of every plan, Free included, and writes as your business. Before it replies, it reads the customer's conversations from every channel, their bookings and payments and your team's private notes, then answers with your real services, prices and free times, in the customer's language, at any hour. The AI chatbot page shows a real conversation.
Booking, deposits and reminders are built in
Convelly's booking calendar covers services, staff, rooms and group sessions, with a booking page in your branding for your website or Instagram bio. Deposits run through your own Stripe account, reminders go out on WhatsApp and by email, and customers move or cancel from a link. Convelly never takes a commission on a booking. Superchat has no calendar of its own, so bookings live in a second tool such as Calendly. Reducing no-shows with deposits shows how businesses use this.
Website chat and every channel in one inbox, included
One line of code puts Elly on your website, included on every plan, with the same memory it uses on WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and email. Leads from Facebook and Instagram ads land as contacts on their own. Superchat reserves its web widget for Professional and up. The website chat page shows what a visitor sees.
Elly runs the workspace when you ask
The same Elly works for your team inside the app. Anything you would do in Convelly by clicking, you can ask for in a sentence: set up a service with a deposit, or build an automation that welcomes every new lead on WhatsApp. Every change is shown to you first and runs only after you approve it. Superchat sells its AI copilot as an add-on at €29 a month, while in Convelly this is part of every plan; see the Elly AI assistant page.
No twelve-month commitment
Convelly bills monthly, or yearly at a lower rate, and you can cancel at any time. The free plan has no end date, so you start with your real services and upgrade once Elly is doing real work for you: Starter costs €39 a month, Growth, for a team of three, €99.
What a two-person business actually pays
Take a business where two people answer WhatsApp and Instagram and want an AI to reply and book. On Superchat that means the Professional plan at €149 a month; with the 12-month term, €1,788 net is committed on day one, and the WhatsApp newsletter add-on raises the month to €198.
On Convelly, Growth covers 3 users and 2 channels for €99 a month, or €82 billed yearly, with Elly answering and booking on both, campaigns, the booking calendar and the website chat included. For one person and one channel, Starter at €39 a month does the job; every figure is on the pricing page. Meta's own fees for WhatsApp template messages apply with any provider, Superchat included; how template pricing works explains them.
Start on the free plan, add your services and prices, and watch Elly answer a test message on WhatsApp or in your website chat.
See the plansWhere Superchat goes further
Superchat covers Facebook Messenger and SMS, sells an AI phone assistant that takes calls, and states an ISO 27001 certificate on its website. Convelly does not offer Messenger, SMS or phone calls today and holds no such certificate; it works in written channels and transcribes voice notes so Elly can answer them. If most of your customers call, Superchat's wider scope matters. If they write, Convelly answers, remembers and books from day one, on every plan.
Switching from Superchat to Convelly
Because Superchat contracts run for 12 months, the clean moment to switch is your renewal date. Before then, set up Convelly on the free plan: it takes about fifteen minutes, Elly reads your website and writes its own instructions, and you import your contacts from a spreadsheet, duplicates caught by phone and email. Your WhatsApp number belongs to your business; choosing and moving your business number explains how it changes provider, what happens to your old chats what you can keep, and the first 30 days after the switch what to set up first.
Frequently asked questions
Is Convelly a Superchat alternative for businesses other than salons?
Yes. Convelly is built for small and medium-sized businesses of every kind: clinics, studios, workshops, agencies, shops and consultants as much as salons. Elly learns your business from your website and documents, answers with your services and prices, and books whatever you offer by appointment.
Do I need a paid plan to use the AI?
No. Elly is part of every Convelly plan, including Free, which starts with 200 AI credits; one credit is roughly one customer reply. Starter refills 3,000 credits a month, Growth 9,000, and extra packs never expire. Superchat's AI agent starts with the Professional plan at €149 a month.
Is there a minimum contract term with Convelly?
No. Convelly bills monthly, or yearly at a lower monthly rate, and you can cancel at any time; the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. Superchat states a minimum contract term of 12 months on its price page.
Can Elly really book appointments, or only answer questions?
Elly books, start to finish. It checks live availability, offers only free times with the team member who is free then, holds the slot, sends the payment link when a service needs a deposit, and confirms. It moves and cancels within the rules you set; anything outside them goes to your team.
Where is my data stored?
Convelly runs on IONOS servers in Germany, and the AI that writes the replies runs there too, as set out in our data processing agreement. Superchat also states servers in Germany on its website, and lists an ISO 27001 certificate, which Convelly does not hold today.
