| Feature | Colly AIBuilt for Nigerian SMEs | Buvvo AI |
|---|---|---|
| Zero CAC requirement | No CAC certificate to start: Telegram, Discord and Web Chat need no Meta review. WhatsApp is the exception — Meta requires verification, so Colly onboards it from a manual waitlist. | Yes on WhatsApp, and the Monnify business account behind the checkout needs business documentation — usually a CAC certificate — before either goes live. |
| Naira credit economy vs USD subscription | Naira credit economy: 1 credit = ₦1, 5 credits per AI reply and plans from ₦15,000/month, billed through Paystack. No USD card and no exchange-rate surprises. | Advertised as a Naira subscription; payment fees are collected by the provider you connect, so the real cost is the plan plus those fees. |
| Jiji marketplace sync | Imports a Jiji shop from the seller URL or username, then re-syncs prices and stock whenever you run a sync. | No Jiji catalogue import advertised; the catalogue lives in the WhatsApp store. |
| Pidgin and voice-note support | Replies in English or Nigerian Pidgin — the tone is a setting — and an inbound voice note is transcribed before the assistant answers it from your catalogue. | Replies follow the store's flows; Pidgin tone and voice-note handling are not advertised. |
| Telegram and Web Chat support | Telegram, Discord and Web Chat are self-serve and live in minutes, sharing one credit balance. | WhatsApp-only by design; Telegram, Discord and an embeddable web widget are not part of the product. |
| Native AI vs human inbox | Native AI on every plan: it replies in seconds, quotes your catalogue, negotiates down to your floor price and hands the chat to you the moment a human is needed. | Product questions and order capture inside WhatsApp, with AI where the flow supports it. |

Where Buvvo AI fits
Buvvo AI turns WhatsApp into a small storefront: customers browse the catalogue, ask questions and pay inside the chat, with settlements through Monnify.
- Best for. Sellers who want a WhatsApp catalogue with in-chat checkout and already have, or will open, a Monnify account.
- Pricing model. An advertised Naira subscription, plus the fees of the Monnify account you connect for payment.
Why Nigerian businesses pick Colly AI instead
Colly needs no payment-provider account to start and answers product questions from your catalogue on Telegram, Discord and Web Chat before a customer ever reaches checkout.
- Start today, no paperwork. Telegram, Discord and Web Chat go live in minutes with no CAC certificate and no Meta review. WhatsApp — the one channel that does need Meta verification — is onboarded from a manual waitlist.
- One Naira price list. Plans, top-ups and AI replies are all priced in Naira through Paystack, so a Lagos shop never has to explain a dollar charge to its accountant.
- Catalogue, not memory. Every product question hits your catalogue, and a Jiji shop can be imported and re-synced instead of retyped.
