Mate is an alternative to quizzes and funnels like Marquiz and Perspective, and chatbots like Landbot. The difference is in the outcome: they collect leads or respond with a bot, while Mate brings the client to a live WhatsApp chat with a pre-written first message. Data versus conversation.
Why is the Mate method better?
A quiz or funnel gives you a line in a table that you still need to call while it's still warm. Mate gives you a person who is already messaging you. You start not with a cold lead, but with a warm conversation, where the first message is crafted from their own responses.
Marquiz and Perspective or Mate?
Marquiz and Perspective excel at engagement: an interactive quiz or mobile funnel captures attention. But they end with a form and contact collection, leading to the usual race to follow up. Mate follows the same short path of questions, but its outcome is not a lead, but a chat where the client is ready to talk.
Landbot or Mate?
Landbot is a bot builder: it responds automatically and requires you to create scenarios for every situation. This is powerful, but it's a conversation with a bot. Mate doesn't build bots: it hands over a warm client to a live person, you, without branches and automation settings. It's simpler for you and more human for the client.

Frequently asked questions
How is Mate better than Marquiz as an alternative?
Marquiz collects leads through quizzes, and after that, you work with a cold contact. Mate follows a similar path of questions but brings the person directly to WhatsApp with a ready first message. You save the step of follow-up calls and start with a warm conversation instead of trying to reach someone who has already lost interest.
Does Mate have an alternative to Perspective?
Yes, for the same task of bringing a person from an ad to contact. Perspective builds a mobile funnel that ends with a form or registration. Mate ends with a live chat in WhatsApp Business, so the client goes straight into a conversation with you, not into a lead list.
Mate or Landbot, which to choose?
If you need an automatic bot that conducts dialogue according to scenarios, that's Landbot. If you want a warm client to reach a live person with a ready message and without building a bot, that's Mate. The difference is who responds: automation or you.
Do I need to build a bot or scenarios?
No. In Mate, you don't draw branches or set up auto-responses for every situation. You ask a couple of questions to clarify the client's request, and then the person moves to your chat. Everything that usually takes an evening to set up a bot here takes just a minute.
How much does it cost to start?
Starting is free forever: one company, one path, and unlimited messages. This is enough to replace a quiz or funnel and see the difference between a lead and a live conversation with your own clients. Paid plans are needed later when you have multiple paths and want to remove the small Mate sign from the pages.
