Comparison
OyeIA vs alternatives — no sugarcoating
This is the honest version. Nobody is going to tell you 'that other option is better' on their own page, but sometimes it is. Here's when each one fits.

When does each one make sense?
When OyeIA is the best option
You're a Peruvian SMB, you want to invest once and own the system, you value talking to humans in neutral Spanish, and you want someone to handle setup. If your priority is 'just make it work', we're built for you.
When Wati / Leadsales fits better
If you need activation in 24 hours, don't want anyone configuring it for you, and prefer paying monthly without a 1-year commitment. Wati has very polished self-serve UX. Leadsales is strong if your whole team is in Spanish and prioritizes light CRM over integrations.
When Treble is better
If you're a mid-market company already billing USD 5M+, have a dedicated IT team and need specific integrations with global systems. Treble plays in a different pricing league — well positioned for that segment.
When 'build from scratch' with a freelancer makes sense
If you have an internal dev team and want full code control. The catch: when the freelancer leaves, you're left with code nobody maintains. The difference between a project that lasts 6 months and one that lasts 6 years is the permanent operator, not the code.
