A platform you run, or a machine that runs for you
respond.io is a genuinely strong conversation platform — if you have the team to operate it. Leaderra is the other model: a done-for-you appointment setter that answers, qualifies, chases and books, without you building anything.
Runs on the leads you already own — we never buy or source leads.
Who operates it
Your team. You build the workflows, write the AI agent prompts, connect the channels, and staff the inbox.
Our team. We build your flow in the onboarding call, run it, and tune it. You approve the scripts and take the meetings.
What you buy
A conversation platform — inbox, broadcast, workflows, AI agents — priced per seat and per contact, from roughly $79/month self-serve.
An outcome motion — leads answered, qualified, chased and booked — priced per channel package, set up once, live in 1–2 business days.
Where it shines
Teams with an ops person who wants full control: custom workflows, high inbound volume, support and retention on the same rails.
Teams with leads going unanswered and no one to build or babysit software: the machine runs without you touching it.
The channels
WhatsApp-first with Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, email and voice — strongest where chat commerce lives.
Email, WhatsApp, voice, iMessage, SMS and LinkedIn under one brain — strongest at chasing one lead across channels until they book.
Pick respond.io if…
- ·You have a dedicated ops person who wants to own and customize every workflow
- ·Your volume is mostly inbound support and commerce chat, not appointment setting
- ·You want a self-serve tool you can configure and change yourself, daily
Pick Leaderra if…
- ✓Leads are going unanswered and nobody owns follow-up end to end
- ✓You want meetings on the calendar, not another tool to learn and staff
- ✓You'd rather approve scripts once than build and maintain automations
Honest scope: we run the follow-up on leads you already own. If you need an omnichannel support inbox your team staffs daily, respond.io is the better tool for that job.

Easiest way to compare: watch it run
The demo is you, as the lead — answered, qualified and booked on your own phone.
