Spaces vs Superchat
Superchat is an all-in-one team inbox — WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, live chat, email and SMS — with its own AI agent, automations, WhatsApp newsletters and a REST API, on a 12-month minimum term. Spaces is messaging infrastructure for AI agents: one REST API and one MCP server that let the agent you already use — in Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own code — read and answer conversations on Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger.
In one line: Superchat is a team inbox with its own AI agent; Spaces is the connection your own agent uses to answer chats. Here is how they differ, and when each is the better choice.
| Spaces | Superchat | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Messaging API + MCP server for AI agents | All-in-one team inbox with AI agents, automations and WhatsApp newsletters |
| Channels | Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Messenger (inbox). TikTok posts and comments are live — no TikTok DM inbox. Facebook Pages coming soon. | WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, live chat, email and SMS. LinkedIn is not listed. |
| The number you already use, linked by QR code, and it keeps working on your phone. No Meta approval, no templates and no Meta message fees. | WhatsApp Business API: a new number, a full move (the number stops working in the app), a move from another provider, or Coexistence (beta) to keep the WhatsApp Business App on the same number — only above a messaging volume Meta doesn't disclose. | |
| AI | No built-in agent: bring your own. Routines for new messages, keywords and no-reply follow-ups. | Superchat's AI agent, included from Professional |
| API and MCP | REST API and https://api.spacesos.com/mcp on every plan, including Free | REST API to send messages and manage contacts, channels and templates. No MCP server found on its site or developer docs. |
| Term | Monthly, prorated; no minimum | 12-month minimum contract; prices net of tax |
| Price | Free: $0, 1 account, 50 actions a day, no card. Pay as you go: $9 per connected account a month, with 1,000 actions a month per account (pooled), then $5 per 1,000 (less at high volume). Reading messages is always free. No seats, no yearly option. | Professional €149 a month net, the lowest plan with an AI agent; 12-month minimum. Free plan for 1 WhatsApp number and 30 active contacts. |
| AI agent on 1 WhatsApp + Instagram + Messenger | $27 a month (3 × $9, 3,000 actions pooled) + your model costs | €149 a month on Professional, 12-month minimum, plus company-started WhatsApp conversations |
| 5 chat accounts | $45 a month (5 × $9, 5,000 actions pooled) + your model costs | Depends on the mix of numbers and logins; LinkedIn not offered |
Example assumes a small business whose AI agent answers one WhatsApp number, one Instagram profile and one Facebook account for Messenger, with a few people stepping in. Spaces prices are in USD, Superchat's in EUR (net) as published; we don't convert them. This is not like-for-like: Superchat's plan buys a team inbox with logins, email, SMS, Telegram, newsletters and a built-in AI agent whose AI is included. Spaces' price does not include the cost of the AI model your agent runs on.
Choose Superchat if
- You want a shared inbox, CRM and WhatsApp newsletters in one tool for your team.
- You need Telegram, email or SMS alongside chat.
- You want a built-in AI agent rather than bringing your own.
- A 12-month contract suits you.
Choose Spaces if
- You run your own AI agent and want it on chat accounts through an API and MCP server.
- You need LinkedIn conversations — Superchat does not list LinkedIn.
- You want to link an existing WhatsApp number by QR code.
- You want to pay monthly per connected account, with no 12-month term.
About how WhatsApp connects
Superchat runs on the WhatsApp Business API. Its Coexistence option (beta) keeps the WhatsApp Business App on the same number, but only once the number passes a messaging volume Meta doesn't disclose; otherwise the number moves fully to Superchat. Templates and Meta's charges apply to messages you start.
Spaces does not use the Business API. It links the number you already use by QR code, and it keeps working on your phone. For up to 24 hours after a WhatsApp account connects or reconnects, Spaces starts no new chats; replies in existing chats still go out. Other channels have no reply-only window: warm-up limits apply from the first day, and replies to people who wrote in go out immediately. New accounts then warm up over four weeks. That number stays under WhatsApp's own automation rules: Spaces keeps every account inside limits, which lowers the risk without removing it. For large template broadcasts, the official platform is the right tool. Sending limits · How Spaces keeps accounts safe · WhatsApp Business Platform vs QR code
