Betterlane vs Daysi: an alternative for UK estate and letting agents
Daysi is a self-serve chatbot for websites, sold to many industries, estate agents among them: it reads your site and uploaded files, answers visitors, captures the lead and books into Google Calendar. You can switch it on yourself in minutes, and its prices are published.
Betterlane builds an assistant for estate and letting agents on the agency’s own WhatsApp number as well as the website, with set answers on rent bidding and on treating every renter alike, and a negotiator confirming every viewing. Daysi’s pages mention no WhatsApp and name no estate CRM.
Test it before you pay
The first flow is built free in ten days, against a scope and tests we agree with you before we start. If it does not pass them, you pay nothing and keep it.
Betterlane and Daysi side by side
| Betterlane | Daysi | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An agency: we build and run the assistant for the estate or letting agent | A website chatbot for many industries: it “reads your website, answers visitors instantly, captures the lead, and takes the next step” |
| Who sets it up and changes it | Betterlane builds and changes it; the agency approves the answers and the rules | You do: “No contract. No coding. Live in 5 minutes”; guided onboarding on the top plan |
| Channels | WhatsApp on the agency’s own number and a chat on its website; no phone calls | A chat window on your website; no WhatsApp, SMS or phone calls on the pages read |
| What it answers from | The facts the agency approves, agreed before we build; it does not confirm that a property is still available, and questions outside those facts go to a person with a summary | Your website pages (50, 250 or the full sitemap by plan) and uploaded PDF and Word files |
| Viewings and valuations | Offers a viewing or valuation time inside each negotiator’s agreed hours; nothing is booked until the negotiator confirms it | Books viewings and valuations into Google Calendar (Outlook and Cal.com on the top plan); no estate CRM named |
| WhatsApp number and Meta’s fees | The agency’s own number and Meta account, through Meta’s Cloud API; Meta’s fees are billed on the agency’s own account | No WhatsApp on the pages read |
| Rent bidding and fair treatment (Renters’ Rights Act) | Written to the rules for England: it quotes only the advertised rent, asks every renter the same agreed questions (none about children or benefits) and never asks for money; an offer above the advertised rent gets a fixed reply set in code. The agency approves the wording; this is not legal advice | Not described on the pages read (6 Oct 2026) |
| How it is priced | The first flow is built free in ten days, against a scope and tests agreed before we start; if it does not do what was scoped, the agency pays nothing and keeps it. Running it after that is agreed before we start. | Published: £39, £89 or from £650 a month by conversations; VAT not stated |
When each one is the better choice
- Daysi when you want self-serve website chat with lead capture and Google Calendar booking, published prices, and to start today; its top plan also offers guided onboarding.

What Daysi and Meta state
From Daysi’s own pricing page, read 6 October 2026 (VAT not stated), and Meta’s rate card for comparison, since Daysi itself works on the website only. Betterlane publishes no price: the first flow is built free, and running it afterwards is agreed before we start.

What we measured ourselves (not client work)
Our own desk count, without contacting anyone: the websites of 30 independent estate and letting agencies, five in each of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and Glasgow, read on 5 October 2026. No agency is named.
- 22 of the 30 showed nothing that answers out of hours: a form, an email address or a phone number. 6 already showed a property chat service on their website. This records what the websites show, not how fast anyone answers: we did not test response times.
Questions
Does Daysi work on WhatsApp?
Not on the pages we read on 6 October 2026: it is a chat window on your website. Betterlane’s assistant works on the agency’s own WhatsApp number and on the website.
Which is quicker to start?
Daysi: it says you can be live in 5 minutes. Betterlane builds the first flow in ten days.
Does Daysi connect to Reapit or Alto?
Its pages name Google Calendar, Outlook and Cal.com for booking and no estate CRM. Betterlane’s assistant sends each enquiry by email to the branch and the negotiator, and into the CRM where the CRM accepts it.
