Compare vs TimelinesAI

Touchpoint vs TimelinesAI: the honest version.

TimelinesAI is the strongest choice in this category if your WhatsApp conversations must live inside HubSpot or Pipedrive. If what you need is a team inbox, you are paying $40 a seat for it.

How TimelinesAI describes itself: A WhatsApp shared inbox built around deep native CRM synchronisation, with a workflow builder and mass messaging.

Choose Touchpoint if

The inbox is the product you are buying

Their shared inbox sits on the fourth pricing tier at $40 a seat, so the feature you came for is the expensive one. Ours is the whole product, flat, with unlimited members — $49 against $200 for a five-person desk.

Choose TimelinesAI if

Your CRM is the system of record

TimelinesAI has native, mature integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, monday.com, Zoho, Salesforce, Close and more — automatic lead creation, conversation sync onto deals and contacts, two-way updates. If every WhatsApp thread has to appear on a CRM record automatically, they do this better than anyone, including us.

The seat math

What it costs at five agents.

TimelinesAI charges $40 per seat per month for the shared inbox tier. For the most common shape of desk we see — five agents sharing three connected numbers — that works out at $200 / month.

5 agents.
3 numbers.
Same job.

Per-seat and per-number billing is how this category prices. It charges you for putting more people on the phone — which is the entire point of a shared inbox.

Questions

Touchpoint vs TimelinesAI

Can Touchpoint sync to my CRM?

Not natively yet, and this is the clearest gap between us. Native connectors are on the roadmap. If automatic CRM sync is a hard requirement today, TimelinesAI is the better choice and we would rather tell you that now.

Why is TimelinesAI so much more expensive for a team?

Two multipliers stack. Their shared inbox is a higher feature tier at $40 a seat rather than their entry price, and it is billed per person. Five agents means five seats at the inbox tier, so $200 a month for the same job a flat $49 plan does.

Do they support group chats?

Their group support is more limited than ours. If your work happens in WhatsApp groups — which it does in freight, wholesale and project work — check this carefully against your own use case before committing.

The fastest way to decide is to try it.

Connect one number and see your own conversations in a shared inbox. Fourteen days, no card, and nothing to migrate if you decide TimelinesAI suits you better.
