Partly: the sale is a declared amount, a pipeline or a report, without the value, closer, source and recording link of each sale. For mentoring, partly means group calls in a community (CloseBot) or monthly mentoring on the top plan only (Mochi, $497). Not stated: the tool's pages don't say which plans include the AI setter.

AI appointment setters: common questions
Everything you need to know about Setor AI, onboarding, and how your AI Setter works day to day.
For selling through Instagram and Messenger DMs, Setor. It answers, qualifies, books the call inside the conversation, follows up, and records the value, closer and source of every sale.
Software that answers the people who message you, asks the questions a human setter would, handles objections and books a call with the ones who fit. The best ones also follow up and track who bought.
Setor, Intellicoach, SetSmart, DM Champ and Setty connect to Instagram and Messenger directly. Mochi, SetterFlo and DM Hero work on Instagram only. Appointwise and CloseBot reach Instagram through GoHighLevel or another CRM, and ManySetter, dmset.ai and DMsetter run through ManyChat. TrySetter has no Instagram or Messenger.
From $25 a month for 250 AI messages at SetSmart to $1,497 a month at Intellicoach, which bills by booked calls. Mochi puts its AI Setter on the $497 plan and DM Hero on $499. Setty, dmset.ai and DMsetter don't publish a price. Setor costs $499 a month excl. tax for about 4,500 AI messages, with the AI Setter on every plan.
Setor. Its Ultra plan includes mentoring calls, unlimited 1:1 calls with our team, a dedicated customer success manager, dedicated WhatsApp support, a premium WhatsApp community and an advanced full course. None of the other 13 setters on this list lists unlimited 1:1 calls, a premium community or an advanced course. CloseBot runs group calls in its community, and Mochi has monthly mentoring on its $497 plan.
No. ManyChat has no ready-made setter: you can build one yourself with its AI Step, with AI from the $29 Pro plan. ManySetter and dmset.ai add a setter on top of ManyChat. Setor is a setter on its own.
For replies, qualification, booking and follow-ups, yes, at any hour: 70% of the calls Setor books are booked outside working hours, and 97% of bookings are made by the AI alone. You can still take over any conversation by replying on Instagram.
Yes. The Setter takes the conversation all the way to the close. It has already sold both low-ticket and high-ticket offers, with only the confirmation left for the call.
Setor uses daily send limits, a gradual ramp for new accounts, an automatic pause when Instagram refuses a send, and a profile and welcome-message check before the AI is switched on. This lowers risk but guarantees nothing, because Instagram has the final say. If your account gets restricted, we sit down with you and plan the way back.
Instagram and Messenger, where our clients sell.
