At a glance
- Hosting: SaaS
- Public pricing: Sandbox free · Starter €40/mo · Pro €100/mo · Business on quote
- Strengths: Best-in-class visual flow editor with conditional branching, strong WhatsApp Business integration, good for structured qualification flows (insurance, real estate, financial intake), polished design.
- Limits: Scripted-flow architecture, not an autonomous LLM agent — every branch must be designed manually. No WordPress-native automatic content sync. No agency multi-tenant. No MCP server.

When Landbot is the right pick
You need a tightly structured qualification flow (mortgage application, insurance intake), or WhatsApp is your primary channel and you want a polished visual builder.
When Animam is the right pick
You want an autonomous LLM agent that reasons over your corpus and decides which tools to call at conversation time, not a scripted decision tree; WordPress is your stack.

Frequently asked questions
Animam or Landbot: which one to pick for a WordPress site in 2026?
If you want a customer-facing AI agent with automatic WordPress content sync, native WPForms / WooCommerce / MailPoet bridges, agency multi-tenant, voice telephony, and MCP, Animam is the only choice. If your need falls in the specific niche where Landbot excels (see “When Landbot is the right pick”), Landbot may be more relevant or complementary.
Can I migrate from Landbot to Animam?
Yes. The knowledge corpus is generally exportable in markdown or JSON. On Animam, the WordPress plugin automatically syncs your posts and pages — no manual re-import needed. Migration typically takes 1-2 hours for a standard site.
What's the pricing comparison for 1,000 conversations per month?
Animam Builder at €49/mo includes 5,000 pooled conversations across 5 bots, so 1,000 conv/mo comes to about €10/bot. Compare with Landbot’s public pricing (Sandbox free · Starter €40/mo · Pro €100/mo · Business on quote) for the same volume.
Does Animam work with WooCommerce like Landbot?
Yes, via the native WooCommerce bridge in the Animam plugin: read the product catalog, recommend with click tracking, create orders via the COLLECT_PAYMENT tool coupled to Stripe Connect or WooCommerce Stripe. Sync is automatic on every product update.
Is Animam GDPR-compliant?
Yes. France hosting, BYOK Mistral to keep AI inference in the EU, DPA available, per-tenant configurable retention, GDPR-clean uninstall hook. For regulated sectors (healthcare, legal, public), Animam is typically audit-ready in 1-2 hours of config.
What happens if I uninstall the Animam plugin?
The uninstall hook purges all animam_* options and transients. Backend-side, you can call DELETE /tenants/:slug to wipe the corpus and conversations. No portability lock — you keep control of your data.
