Visitors get an answer, so they stay
A form asks for details before it gives anything back. The agent answers first, which is why people are happy to share an email address afterwards.
A lead capture chatbot that helps first. Then rates the lead and books the meeting.
SimplyBoost is the better lead capture chatbot for most businesses because it earns the contact details before it asks for them. The AI agent answers the visitor's question first, then collects a name, email, phone number or company, rates every lead Hot, Warm or Cold, and books meetings straight into your Google Calendar. It works on your website, WhatsApp and Instagram, lead CSV export is on every plan, and actions send leads to HubSpot, Salesforce or Google Sheets. All of it comes in a flat monthly price, with no fee per contact.
- Hot, Warm or Cold on every lead
- Google Calendar booking
- No credit card needed

The short verdict
Choose SimplyBoost if
- Your visitors ask questions before they're ready to leave their details
- Leads come in through your website, WhatsApp and Instagram, not just a form
- Your sales team needs to know who to call first
- You want meetings booked in the chat, in your own calendar
- You'd rather pay a flat price than per contact or per chat
Another tool may suit you better if
You want to design every question and branch of a qualification flow yourself, like a scripted quiz. Visual flow builders such as Landbot or Tidio Flows are made for that. SimplyBoost answers from your content instead, and asks for details naturally along the way.
How SimplyBoost captures and qualifies leads
For the feature in detail, see lead capture. Here is what it means for your pipeline.
- It helps before it asks
- Never in the first reply. The agent answers the question, then asks for one missing detail at a time: up to three of name, email, phone and company. If someone says they'd rather not, it stops asking.
- Every lead gets a rating
- Hot (70 to 100), Warm (40 to 69) or Cold (below 40), built from the contact details, how much the visitor engaged and their buying intent. Purchase and demo requests score highest.
- Meetings booked in the chat
- Connect Google Calendar and website visitors pick a time you're free. The agent creates the event with a Google Meet link and emails the visitor a confirmation.
- Website, WhatsApp and Instagram
- Leads from all three channels land on one Leads page, filterable by channel and rating. On Instagram, comment-to-DM rules turn commenters into conversations and contacts.
- Leads reach your tools
- Export to CSV on every plan, or install action templates: HubSpot Create Contact and Create Deal, Salesforce Create Lead, Google Sheets Save Lead, or a call to your own endpoint.
- You hear about it straight away
- The account owner gets an email when a website visitor leaves an email address or phone number, with a button to the lead.

Why teams switch to SimplyBoost for lead capture
Sales calls the Hot leads first
Every lead arrives with a rating, the channel, the visitor's intent and the full chat, so nobody has to read every conversation to decide who to call.
No flows to rebuild
When your offer, prices or opening hours change, update your content. There is no decision tree to redraw.
Leads from night and weekend traffic
The agent captures leads around the clock on all three channels, so the visitor who asks at 11 p.m. is on the list in the morning.
The price stays flat as your list grows
No fee per contact, per lead or per seat. You pay for AI replies, and replies your team writes don't count.
