What each does
Milvao
Milvao lets a community's members ask for help without posting in the group. A member writes in English or Hinglish, confirms the brief Milvao writes, and decides whether their number may be shared. A suitable member gets the brief, never the requester's name or number, and accepts or declines. On accept, both receive each other's contact privately.

Marketing number and community number
If you already market a programme or event series with AiSensy, keep doing it there. Milvao needs its own number on the WhatsApp Business Platform, because a number works with one platform at a time. Members then have a clear split: offers and updates from one number, private introductions from the other.
Milvao never messages members to promote anything. It writes only about their profile, their requests and offers to help someone.
Where Milvao is weaker
- Milvao has no free plan. AiSensy's Free Forever plan costs nothing to start.
- Milvao can't broadcast, retarget, run ads or take payments in chat.
- Milvao has no live chat for customer conversations and no chatbot builder.
- Bot replies are in English only; Starter covers up to 300 onboarded members; Meta's charges are extra.
- Milvao is an early-stage product focused on India.
