Choosing the right platform avoids wasting time and money. This guide brings the criteria that matter, the most common mistakes and a checklist to decide with confidence.
The five essential criteria
Evaluate: whether it creates content with AI, whether it publishes to social media, whether it serves WhatsApp with an AI agent, whether it centralizes conversations in one inbox and whether the price is in reais and predictable. A platform that covers these five points reduces the number of tools.
Common mistakes when choosing
Hiring an expensive suite for features that will not be used, choosing an English tool with dollar billing, and separating marketing from support in systems that do not talk to each other.
Where Zyvo fits
Zyvo was designed to meet the five criteria in a single panel, in Portuguese and priced in reais from R$ 79 per month, which makes it a natural starting point for the SMB.
