Amio Messaging SDK review
A unified REST API connects messaging channels, with chatbot plans starting at €150/month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Amio Messaging SDK provides APIs and SDKs for adding chat and traditional SMS messaging to software. Its unified REST API connects messaging channels, while channel-specific requests expose underlying platform features. The offering may suit helpdesk and social media tools, bot builders, online shopping assistants, and e-commerce businesses that need channel connectivity. It is a narrower fit for teams seeking a full in-app chat API rather than connections to external messaging channels.
The API supports sending messages and receiving events through webhooks, as well as typing and message-read notifications. Chat widget styling configuration offers control over the web-chat presentation. Listed integrations include Facebook Messenger, Viber, SMS, WhatsApp, helpdesks such as Zendesk and Freshdesk, and commerce platforms including Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento. This breadth can help teams connect customer messaging with support or storefront systems, though the published feature set is centered on channel connectivity rather than a broad in-app conversation layer.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Chatbot Starter costs €150 per month and includes 400 automated messages, a conversational designer, analytics, and a web-chat channel. AI Expert is €350 per month, with 1,000 automated messages, AI / ChatGPT, messengers and in-app channels, helpdesk integrations, proactive outreach, and an email bot. AI Scale lists unlimited automated messages, a fixed-price contracts option, a direct Slack support channel, and a dedicated success manager; its stated price has no explicit billing interval. These are chatbot plans, not a separately specified Messaging SDK plan. Choose Amio when channel unification and chatbot capabilities fit the project; consider alternatives if a dedicated in-app chat API or clearly scoped SDK pricing is essential.
