Solaia vs Smartchat.
Multi-channel service vs. website widget.
Smartchat is a website chat widget — useful for visitors already on your site. Solaia covers everything else: the buyer who messaged your Idealista listing on WhatsApp at 11 pm, the one who called your office voicemail, the one who emailed in French. Different surface area, different completeness.

When Solaia wins
Most of your leads aren't on your website. They're on Idealista, Fotocasa, Facebook, your phone line. A website chat widget catches the small share that lands on your site. Solaia catches the rest — every channel, every language, 24/7 — and books viewings, not just chats. Smartchat is a tool. Solaia is a finished system.

Solaia vs Smartchat — your questions answered.
Is Smartchat good for real estate?+
Smartchat is a useful website chat widget for visitors who are already on your site, with AI and live-agent hand-off. The limitation is surface area: roughly 80% of property leads never reach your website — they come in via WhatsApp, phone, Idealista, Fotocasa, or social, where a web widget can't follow them.
What is the best Smartchat alternative for multi-channel coverage?+
Solaia is the strongest alternative when your leads arrive across many channels. Instead of a single website widget, Solaia is a managed AI service that unifies WhatsApp, voice, email, SMS, and web in 30+ languages and books viewings — covering the inquiries a web widget never sees.
How is Solaia different from Smartchat?+
Smartchat is a self-serve widget you configure for your website. Solaia is a fully managed, multi-channel service operated for you. It's WhatsApp-native, runs inbound and outbound voice, speaks 30+ languages, and books viewings with confirmations and reminders rather than just chatting.
Does Solaia handle WhatsApp and phone leads, not just web chat?+
Yes. That's the core difference. Solaia handles the WhatsApp message sent to your Idealista listing at 11pm, the voicemail on your office line, and the email in French — across all channels 24/7, in the buyer's language — not only visitors who happen to land on your website.
How does Solaia pricing compare to Smartchat?+
Smartchat is typically a low-to-mid-tier subscription for a single channel. Solaia is a managed retainer plus per-viewing performance fees covering every channel and language end-to-end. Use the Solaia ROI calculator to compare total impact for your pipeline.
