| Area | Wattle | Synthflow |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Configure an AI receptionist with instructions or a scripted call flow in the hosted console, then test it in the browser before assigning a phone number. | Flow Designer builds structured, multi-step agents with a visual node editor; Prompt Builder supports less structured conversations. Source |
| Booking | Appointment booking is included from Pro (One supported booking connection); Max adds more configuration and quotes custom-built integrations separately. | Real-time booking actions can check availability and book through supported calendar connections, including Cal.com. Availability depends on account access and connection setup. Source |
| Human handoff | Route with a staff notification, blind transfer, or accept-gated warm transfer. Transfer charges are separate. | Call transfers support warm and cold modes, with options such as a recipient whisper, retries, and fallback behavior. Telephony support affects transfer behavior. Source |
| Channels and inbox | Supports phone, web chat, WhatsApp Business Calling, and SMS. Calls, SMS, and web chats can appear in a shared customer thread. | Synthflow documents phone voice agents, web voice widgets, and chat agents; SMS and WhatsApp chat can use Twilio, with messaging fees applying separately. Source |
| Integrations | Supports Google Calendar, Cal.com, Google Sheets, Xero, QuickBooks, Slack, Twilio SMS, n8n, and Zapier; availability depends on the configured workflow. | Official docs list CRM, Cal.com, Zapier, Make, WhatsApp, and telephony connections. Available integrations depend on account type, agreement, and enabled features. Source |
| Support | Local Australian support. Starter: standard; Pro: priority; Max: priority. | Its current enterprise pricing page describes implementation, onboarding, testing, training, launch support, and contract-scoped SLA/support terms. Source |
| Pricing | Starter A$99/month, Pro A$499/month, Max A$999/month, plus GST. Australian mobile numbers, outbound calling, and transfers are charged separately from the plan. | The dedicated pricing page says Enterprise contracts start at $30,000 annually, with final terms scoped. Billing docs say new pricing is sales-led; another official industry page still publishes self-serve tiers, so verify the offer with sales. Source |
| Included usage | Starter: 200 minutes; Pro: 1,000 minutes; Max: 4,000 minutes per month. Included minutes are the plan limit. Australian mobile numbers, outbound calling, and transfers are charged separately from the plan. | The current enterprise offer scopes capacity around volume and concurrency. Billing docs also describe legacy or account-specific workspace terms; no common public minute allowance is listed on the current pricing page. Source |
Wattle’s plans publish AUD pricing and included minutes, starting at A$99 plus GST. That gives smaller teams a visible plan to assess against their call pattern.
Wattle brings call answering, message capture, staff handoffs, and customer conversation history together for everyday front-desk work.
Pro and Max include appointment booking; the plan details identify the supported booking connection and separately scoped custom integrations.
Synthflow may suit teams that want a visual call-flow builder and a sales-scoped deployment with onboarding, integration, and launch support. Wattle may suit an Australian business that wants a packaged receptionist workflow with published AUD plans. Compare current Synthflow offers carefully because its public pricing materials differ by page and account context.
