# Nely Review WhatsApp AI sales agent for SMBs in Latin America: takes orders, collects payment, books appointments, and coordinates delivery 24/7. ## Editor's Score: 66/100 Capability scores well because Nely does something genuinely specific: bank payment verification against live bank records is a feature no general-purpose chatbot in this directory offers, and the vertical-specific configurations for restaurants, pharmacies, and clinics add real depth. Ease of use takes a hit because the entire onboarding requires a sales call and in-person visit, with no self-serve path, and the iOS driver app is still missing. Value lands in the low teens because pricing is entirely opaque: a buyer cannot estimate monthly cost without a sales conversation, which is a real friction point even if the 7-day trial is genuinely free. Delivery is solid but not exceptional: the vendor-reported order volume figures (24K to 43K orders per month between July and September 2026) are specific and checkable, and the written guarantee is a meaningful commitment, but the geographic limits and the contact-only sales model mean a meaningful share of potential buyers cannot access the product at all. ## Pros - Bank payment verification cross-references customer payment screenshots against the business's actual bank records before confirming an order, addressing a real fraud risk in cash-heavy LatAm markets. - Free in-person implementation in Chile and Venezuela with a 48-hour activation promise and team training included, which meaningfully lowers the real cost of switching for a small business with no IT staff. - Vertical-specific configurations for restaurants, pharmacies, opticians, barbershops, and clinics mean the AI agent ships with domain knowledge relevant to each business type rather than requiring extensive custom training. ## Cons - Pricing is entirely opaque: no tier names, no base prices, and no published per-module costs anywhere on the site. A business cannot estimate monthly spend without going through a sales call, which makes budget planning impossible before committing time to the process. - Geographic reach is narrow. In-person implementation is only available in Chile and Venezuela, and the delivery coordination module is listed as available only in Colombia and Chile. Businesses in other LatAm markets or outside the region get a materially reduced offering. - No iOS app for the delivery driver tool as of the review date; the motorized driver app is Android-only, with App Store availability listed as 'coming soon', which limits fleet options for businesses whose drivers use iPhones. ## Pricing Free.

Its closest directory rivals are general-purpose chat assistants that do not touch order management or bank payment verification at all, so the comparison is less about feature parity and more about scope: Nely is an operations layer, not a chat tool. Buyers who need transparent, self-serve pricing or who operate outside Latin America should look elsewhere. Best for: LatAm SMBs selling on WhatsApp who want automated order-to-delivery operations Not for: Businesses outside Latin America, or anyone needing published self-serve pricing before committing ## Overview Nely is a WhatsApp-native AI sales agent built specifically for small and mid-sized businesses in Latin America, particularly restaurants, pharmacies, opticians, barbershops, and clinics. The core product is an AI employee that sits on a business's WhatsApp number, trained on that business's catalog, tone, and rules. It takes orders, confirms payment, and coordinates delivery without a human touching the chat. When a conversation needs a person, it hands off to the owner or team. What separates Nely from a generic chatbot is the operational depth behind the conversation. The platform includes a POS, invoicing, inventory management, an ERP module, a delivery coordination layer with a dedicated motorized driver app, and a unified panel for chats, orders, and metrics. Bank payment verification is a notable feature: when a customer sends a payment screenshot, Nely cross-references it against the business's actual bank records before marking the order paid, which addresses a real fraud problem common in cash-heavy LatAm markets. The go-to-market model is also unusual. Implementation is free and done in person in Chile and Venezuela, with a 48-hour setup promise and team training included. Support is described as human and 24/7, not a bot. The pricing page shows a revenue-impact calculator rather than a price list: Nely guarantees a 10% lift in order volume and 10% lift in average ticket on WhatsApp sales, with businesses using the full platform potentially reaching up to 40% more revenue. Conditions are delivered in writing at the onboarding call. As of July through September 2026, the platform reported managing over 98,000 orders across its client base, growing from 24,000 to 43,000 orders per month in that window, across more than 200 businesses. Those are vendor-reported figures, but they are specific enough to be checkable. ## Who should use it Nely is built for owner-operated businesses in Chile, Venezuela, and Colombia that already receive a significant volume of orders through WhatsApp and are losing sales to slow or missed replies. A burger restaurant taking 40 orders a night over WhatsApp, a pharmacy fielding repeat prescription requests, or a barbershop managing appointment bookings manually are the exact situations this product addresses. The in-person setup and Spanish-language support make it particularly practical for businesses without a dedicated tech team. Businesses outside Latin America, or those that need to evaluate pricing before booking a demo, should not expect a self-serve path here. The quote-only model and the demo-first sales process mean you cannot sign up and start without a sales conversation. For teams that want a general-purpose AI assistant for customer chat without the order management and payment infrastructure, ChatGPT or Claude are far cheaper starting points, though neither touches WhatsApp order workflows or bank payment verification. ## FAQ Q: What does Nely actually guarantee, and is it in writing? A: Nely guarantees a 10% increase in order volume and a 10% increase in average ticket on WhatsApp sales. Businesses using the full platform can reach up to 40% more revenue. The guarantee conditions are delivered in writing at the onboarding appointment. Q: How much does Nely cost? A: Pricing is not published. Nely quotes a custom plan based on which modules a business activates on top of the base AI Agent. There is a 7-day trial with all features included after setup, and you only pay if you stay past the trial. A sales call is required to get a price. Q: How long does setup take, and who does it? A: Nely's team handles the full implementation at no extra cost. In Chile and Venezuela, setup is done in person, with a target of 48 hours from start to a live, selling system. Team training is included. Q: Which countries and business types does Nely support? A: In-person implementation is available in Chile and Venezuela. The delivery coordination module is available in Colombia and Chile. Nely has vertical-specific configurations for restaurants, pharmacies, opticians, barbershops, and clinics, and can handle other business types through its general catalog and order-taking capabilities. Q: Does the AI ever hand off to a human? A: Yes. When a conversation requires human judgment, Nely routes the chat to the business owner or a designated team member. The business retains full control over which conversations escalate. Q: Is there an app for delivery drivers? A: Yes, there is an Android app for motorized delivery drivers. An iOS version is listed as coming soon on the site as of the review date.
