Not a Scheduling Tool

25-Contact Cap on Free Plan
ManyChat's free plan (updated March 2026) limits you to 25 active contacts per month and just 4 automations — barely enough to test.
Pro Plan Starts at $29/Month
ManyChat Pro costs $29/month for 2,500 contacts. The Business plan is $69/month. Costs scale with contact count, not value delivered.
Requires Third-Party Scheduling Integration
To book appointments through ManyChat, you need to connect a separate scheduling tool — adding cost and complexity on top of ManyChat's fees.
