When Solaia wins
Follow Up Boss is a fine CRM. The question isn't really 'Solaia or Follow Up Boss' — it's 'do you want an AI auto-reply tool, or do you want a managed AI service that converts leads end-to-end?' If you have a CRM you like and you need the conversation layer to actually work — in WhatsApp, in voice, in 30+ languages, run by someone else — Solaia is the answer. We can sit on top of Follow Up Boss happily.
