Key takeaways

- Nas.com phased out its free plan on 31 March 2026. Milvao has no free plan either.
- Nas.com's home page now leads with AI marketing agents, so check its community product's direction before you commit.
What each does
Milvao
Milvao gives a WhatsApp community a private way to ask for help. Members join with a link from their group and fill in a profile. A member's request becomes a brief they confirm, Milvao offers it to a suitable member, and numbers are exchanged only after both agree. Milvao takes no payments and sends no announcements.
Nas.com (formerly Nas.io)
- Nas.com's WhatsApp page says members stay inside the existing WhatsApp group while Nas handles content and event notifications, membership management and payments. source
- The nas.com home page is titled "AI Marketing Agents for Your Business" and does not mention communities. source
- The pricing page is titled "Plans for Solo Sellers". source

A paid community could run both
Nas.com covers getting paid and keeping access in order. Milvao covers what members do once they are in: asking for help and being introduced. They don't connect, and they use different WhatsApp numbers, so running both means members get Nas's messages from Nas's account and talk to Milvao on your community's number.
Where Milvao is weaker
- Milvao takes no payments, sells nothing and has no event pages or content library.
- Milvao can't message all members at once.
- Milvao's directory for members lists only people who chose to be listed, and members can't message each other inside Milvao.
- Milvao needs its own WhatsApp Business Platform number, and Meta's message charges apply.
- Bot replies are in English only; Milvao is early stage and focused on India; Starter covers 300 members.
Which to choose
Choose Nas.com
You charge for membership and want payments, access control, event pages and messages to members handled around your WhatsApp group.
Choose Milvao
Members are already in, and the need is private requests and introductions they agree to.
Choose both
You run a paid WhatsApp community where members also want introductions to each other.
