Hey Product Hunt 👋, BrightBean Chat is an open-source ManyChat alternative. ManyChat works well until it gets expensive. Every new contact moves you closer to the next pricing tier, the features you need sit on a higher plan, and your whole contact list lives in someone else’s product. What you get: 📡 One flow, six channels: Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email 🧩 Visual flow builder with conditions, delays, randomizers, nested flows, HTTP requests and data collection 📥 Shared inbox with assignment, labels, scheduled replies, and human takeover that pauses automation 📣 Broadcasts and sequences with compliance checks for each channel’s rules, such as 24-hour messaging windows, WhatsApp templates and STOP handling 🔌 REST API and signed webhooks for Make, Zapier, n8n or your own code ♾️ Unlimited contacts and every feature in every installation The difference: You own it. • No per-contact pricing. It’s free to self-host however big your list grows, with every feature included. • Your data stays yours. Every contact and conversation lives in your own database. • No middleman. Your own Meta app talks straight to each platform’s API. • Fully open source. AGPL-3.0, so you can read the code, change it and extend it. Getting started: 🚂 One-click deploy on Railway ☁️ The hosted version at brightbean.xyz/chat if you don’t want to run a server.
