AltaHQ is an AI powered SDR platform focused on outbound sequences across email, LinkedIn, and calling. Ciaoflow is an AI powered SDR agent built for the inbound first-contact moment: a new lead arrives, a personalized WhatsApp fires in under 30 seconds — automatically, 24/7.
TL;DR — Pick the right tool for the job
You get inbound leads from email, web forms, or Meta Ads and need an AI powered SDR agent that fires a personalized WhatsApp message within 30 seconds — without building multi-step sequences or paying per-seat for a full outbound SDR platform.
You run outbound prospecting campaigns at scale, need multi-step sequences across email and LinkedIn, and want an AI SDR agent that researches prospects, writes cold outreach, and manages follow-up cadences automatically.
Being honest — AltaHQ is a solid product. Here's where it genuinely excels.
AltaHQ shines for outbound SDR teams: it researches prospects, writes personalized cold email sequences, handles follow-ups across email and LinkedIn, and operates like a digital SDR rep working a prospect list. If outbound sequencing is your primary need, it's a strong choice.
AltaHQ covers multiple outbound channels in one platform. For teams that need coordinated cold outreach across email and LinkedIn with AI-generated messaging, it handles the full cadence automatically.
AltaHQ's AI researches target prospects before writing outreach — pulling company data, recent news, and job titles to personalize cold messages. If you're building outbound lists, that research layer adds real value.
Built from the ground up for one thing: instant WhatsApp lead response. That focus shows.
AltaHQ is built for outbound sequences — it doesn't automatically fire a WhatsApp message when an inbound lead arrives. Ciaoflow's AI powered SDR agent watches your inbox and forms 24/7 and reaches every new lead via WhatsApp before they can open a competitor's follow-up.
Connect Gmail, Outlook, or any IMAP mailbox in 2 minutes. Ciaoflow turns every inbound lead email into an instant, AI-personalized WhatsApp message. AltaHQ focuses on outbound prospecting lists — it has no equivalent inbound email intake.
AltaHQ pricing is enterprise-tier and seat-based. Ciaoflow delivers AI powered SDR agent automation for inbound WhatsApp starting at $29/mo flat — no per-seat fees, no annual contract, no sales call required to get started.
A lead submits your contact form — you want an AI SDR agent to WhatsApp them instantly
Ciaoflow's entire design is built around this trigger. AltaHQ has no inbound form-to-WhatsApp automation.
You want to run outbound cold email sequences to a list of 500 target accounts
AltaHQ's AI SDR sequences across email and LinkedIn are purpose-built for outbound prospecting at scale.
You run Meta Lead Ads and need instant WhatsApp follow-up on every new lead
Ciaoflow natively connects to Meta Lead Ads and fires a personalized WhatsApp under 30 seconds. AltaHQ has no Meta Lead Ads integration.
You need multi-step follow-up sequences across email and LinkedIn for outbound SDR
AltaHQ manages multi-step sequences across channels automatically. Ciaoflow focuses on the single first-contact moment, not multi-step cadences.
You want an AI SDR agent that works 24/7 on inbound leads without seat fees
Ciaoflow has no per-seat pricing. AltaHQ's seat-based model gets expensive as the team grows, and it's not optimized for inbound WhatsApp automation.
