Zyvo pricing
Zyvo has no fixed monthly plan fee: you pay per outcome. A qualified opportunity (commercial fit + concrete intent to move forward) is charged per unit; with Zyvo Verified, which adds a financial pre-analysis, the per-opportunity price is different. Leads without fit or intent are not charged. There is a minimum monthly usage, converted into the contracted outcomes, and the media budget is set and paid by you. Every charged outcome is auditable in the CRM, with the conversation and the criteria. No lock-in, no penalty. Current prices at zyvo.marketing/#preco.
Who each option is for
ManyChat for those who only want automation flows on Instagram and Messenger. Zyvo for those who want automation, an AI agent and content marketing in a single panel, in Portuguese.
