Kommo: what it is, how it works & who it's for

AI-powered CRM built for selling through WhatsApp, Instagram and other messengers

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

amoCRM rebranded as Kommo in October 2022.

What is Kommo?

Kommo is a customer relationship management platform built for businesses that sell through messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and TikTok. Formerly known as amoCRM, it rebranded in 2022 to reflect its focus on the full customer journey. Kommo brings every chat into one inbox and ties each conversation to a lead card in a visual sales pipeline.

On top of the pipeline, Kommo offers Salesbot for automating conversations, WhatsApp broadcasting, booking tools and a set of AI features, including an AI sales agent, an AI CRM assistant and an AI booking agent. Pricing is per user with a minimum six-month term. Kommo suits small and mid-sized sales teams that close most deals in chat rather than over email or phone.
