How they compare, section by section
Shared inbox and ticketing vs AI qualification
Trengo’s core strength is the shared inbox: every channel in one place, tickets, SLA timers and rules for who handles what. QualiBot’s core strength is what happens inside the conversation — an AI agent that asks qualifying questions, retrieves information and decides the next action, rather than routing the message to a human queue.
Team collaboration and SLAs
Trengo is built for teams that live in a shared inbox all day: internal notes, assignment rules, SLA escalation and collision detection are mature here. QualiBot supports handoff to a human agent when needed, but it is not primarily a ticketing/collaboration tool — it’s built to resolve or qualify automatically wherever possible.
AI: agent vs assist
QualiBot’s AI is the front line of the conversation — it understands intent, qualifies, and updates records without a human needing to drive every step. Trengo’s AI features assist human agents (suggested replies, simple automations) inside what remains a human-staffed inbox.
CRM integration and actions
QualiBot connects to CRMs including Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce and Bitrix24 and writes back automatically — creating and matching contacts, updating qualification and deal fields, logging conversations and creating follow-up tasks. Trengo integrates with CRMs mainly through native connectors and webhooks, with deeper record-level actions usually built by your own team.
Industry specialization
QualiBot ships real-estate workflows: qualifying buyers and tenants, handling leads received from portals like Bayut and Property Finder, sending approved brochures and booking viewings. Trengo is horizontal — a strong general-purpose inbox without built-in vertical logic.
Deployment model
QualiBot offers managed cloud or self-hosted deployment for teams with data-control requirements. Trengo is cloud SaaS. Teams choosing between them are often really choosing between "a better staffed inbox" (Trengo) and "fewer conversations needing a human at all" (QualiBot).
