Messaging CRM
Colton vs Kommo
Kommo is a messaging-first sales CRM with a rule-based Salesbot. Colton is an AI-agent platform that resolves conversations — with its own CRM built in.
Kommo (formerly amoCRM) is a sales-pipeline CRM that plugs into WhatsApp and other messengers, with a rule-based Salesbot for simple automations. Its heart is the deal pipeline.
Colton is conversation-first: an AI agent understands the message, calls the right tool and answers from live data, then logs everything to a built-in CRM. Automation is native, not a bolt-on Salesbot.
