Frequently asked questions

SleekFlow Pro starts at US$109/month billed yearly with 10 users and 500 monthly active contacts; Premium is US$279/month billed yearly. Hala starts at $125/month billed yearly with the AI agent, 500 conversations and 100 call minutes included. Meta's WhatsApp fees apply on both.
Can SleekFlow's AI answer phone calls?+
When we checked SleekFlow's pricing page, VoIP calling was listed as coming soon. Hala answers WhatsApp calls with AI today.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number if I leave SleekFlow?+
Usually, yes. A WhatsApp Business number can move from one provider to another, and we walk you through it during setup. Some numbers need two-step verification turned off on SleekFlow first.
Do I have to build the AI agent myself?+
No. Setup and integrations are included on every Hala plan. You review the agent before it goes live and can edit what it knows from the dashboard at any time.
