Common complaints about Heymarket

💸

Per-user pricing punishes growing teams

Heymarket charges $49-99 per user per month. A 10-person team pays $490-990/mo before add-ons. BossBot's Growth plan is $99/mo flat for 10 seats.

🛒

No marketplace integrations

Heymarket is a SMS/web-chat shared inbox. Etsy, eBay, Walmart, or Amazon buyer messages never touch it.

🌍

English-first inbox

The Heymarket product is English-first with limited multilingual support. Serving Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking customers requires bilingual agents.

📱

SMS-native, WhatsApp is add-on

WhatsApp on Heymarket is available as an integration, but the product was built for US SMS-first workflows. For a WhatsApp-first business it feels bolted on.

Frequently asked questions

Should I pick Heymarket or BossBot for a US mid-market SMS-first team?
If most of your customers reach you via SMS, Heymarket is a well-built shared inbox and does the job. BossBot fits differently: marketplace-driven businesses, diaspora communities where WhatsApp is default, or cross-border sellers with international buyers.
How much does BossBot cost for a 10-agent team compared to Heymarket?
BossBot's Growth plan is $99/mo flat for 10 seats. Heymarket at 10 users is $490-$990/mo depending on tier — so BossBot is 5-10× cheaper at that team scale.
Can BossBot replace Heymarket's team inbox?
Yes for WhatsApp/Telegram/Viber conversations. For SMS-driven teams it can't — we don't send SMS. If your team's main workflow is SMS, keep Heymarket.
Does BossBot do AI auto-reply that Heymarket does not?
BossBot's AI can fully auto-reply out of the box (or draft, if you prefer human review). Heymarket has AI-drafted replies but the full auto-response is more limited and English-only.
Do I need TCPA consent when I use BossBot for US customers?
TCPA regulates SMS and voice calls, so it doesn't apply to WhatsApp / Telegram / Viber conversations — the platforms handle opt-in themselves. If you switch a SMS workflow to BossBot's WhatsApp channel, you no longer need the TCPA consent flow you needed for Heymarket.
