Trengo is a European omnichannel inbox, built in the Netherlands and strongest where WhatsApp is the main customer channel. It is an official WhatsApp Business Partner, and its shared inbox brings WhatsApp, email, live chat, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, SMS and voice calls together with the customer's details next to each conversation. Retail and ecommerce, travel and hospitality, health and wellness, and leisure are the industries it designs for, and the product spans support and sales: the same AI agent that handles order questions also qualifies inbound leads, syncs with the CRM and books meetings.

The AI Agent, called HelpMate on the pricing page, is trained on your help center, FAQs and documents, follows tone and escalation rules you define, and can take basic actions such as order tracking through integrations, applying labels and calling third-party APIs. It deploys across WhatsApp, email, chat, social and voice, answers in 70+ languages, and identifies gaps in its own knowledge so you can fill them. Trengo claims up to 80 percent of queries resolved before a human steps in. AI Journeys, multi-step automations across channels, is still in beta, and Dessa is a newer AI agent for ecommerce brands that acts as both support agent and shopping assistant. Broadcasting for proactive WhatsApp campaigns is sold as an add-on.

Trengo was founded in Utrecht in 2017, raised a $36 million Series A in 2021, and says it has 1,500+ customers, 100+ employees and 100 million conversations a year. Patrick Meutzner is CEO and Marcel van de Weerd is co-founder and CTO. Published results include Dentakay, which saves 270 hours a month with automated lead qualification; Defqon.1, which saved 170+ hours with AI and WhatsApp service; Goedgemerkt, which handled a 240 percent peak-season ticket surge without growing the team; and Europarcs, running 52 parks on one system. The application is hosted on AWS and Trengo describes GDPR as core to the platform.

Pricing is published in euros, per team rather than per seat. Boost is 299 euros a month billed annually (349 monthly) for 10 users and 6,000 conversations a year; Pro is 499 euros (599 monthly) for 20 users and 18,000 conversations; Enterprise is custom. A conversation is any reply within a 7-day window. AI costs extra: conversations the AI Agent handles carry a surcharge of 0.25 euros each on annual billing or 0.30 monthly, and additional conversations cost 15 euros per 100. Choose Trengo if WhatsApp drives your customer contact and you want support and lead qualification in one European-hosted inbox. Skip it if you are a two-person team, because the 299 euro floor is high for small volumes, or if email ticketing is all you need.
