| Feature | Colly AIBuilt for Nigerian SMEs | Loop56 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | WhatsApp deployments need a verified Meta business account — a CAC certificate in Nigeria — on top of the vendor's onboarding. |
| 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. | Quoted per business after a sales conversation, so the entry cost is a contract rather than a self-serve plan. |
| 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. |
| 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. | Language handling is not advertised; Pidgin and voice notes are not listed as features. |
| Telegram and Web Chat support | Telegram, Discord and Web Chat are self-serve and live in minutes, sharing one credit balance. | Several channels are the pitch, connected for you during onboarding. |
| 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. | Automation and chatbot flows are the core, with AI features quoted as part of the setup. |

Where Loop56 fits
Loop56 is positioned as a multi-channel business messaging and automation platform, sold through an onboarding process rather than a self-serve signup.
- Best for. Larger teams running several channels at once, with a budget for implementation support.
- Pricing model. Enterprise-style pricing quoted per business after a demo, rather than a published monthly plan.
Why Nigerian businesses pick Colly AI instead
Colly is self-serve and priced per AI reply in Naira: no demo, no implementation fee, and a channel live the same afternoon.
- 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.
