Monthly revenue from WhatsApp enquiries
How it is worked out
- Working-hours replies keep 73%, after-hours replies keep 48%
From your reply times and the decay assumptions. Blended by your after-hours share, today's replies keep 65% of an enquiry's chance.
- Your conversion rate is the starting point
It already reflects today's speed, so the instant-reply rate is worked backwards from it, then only 70% of the gap is counted as recoverable.
An estimate to think with, not a forecast. It ignores price, product and follow-up quality, which matter as much as speed.
Why reply time matters on WhatsApp
A WhatsApp message feels like a conversation. Customers expect an answer while they are still holding the phone, and they often message three businesses at once.
Interest fades fast
The customer who asks for a price at 9 pm has usually decided by morning, and not always for you.
Nights and Sundays add up
A third of enquiries arriving after hours is common for clinics, real estate and travel. Each one waits until someone is back.
Instant does not mean robotic
An assistant answers the routine questions at once and hands the conversation to your team the moment a person is needed.
Questions
How the estimate works, and what it leaves out.
How much revenue do slow WhatsApp replies cost?
It depends on how many enquiries you get, how many arrive after hours and how fast interest fades. This calculator multiplies your own numbers by an interest-decay assumption you can see and change, and shows the monthly and yearly difference instant replies would make.
Where do the decay numbers come from?
They are assumptions, not results from a study: by default an enquiry keeps all of its chance to convert if answered within 5 minutes, 70% at one hour and 40% after a day. Research such as Harvard Business Review's on online sales leads found most companies respond far too slowly; set the numbers to match what you see in your own business.
Why does the calculator start from my current conversion rate?
Your conversion rate already reflects how fast you reply today. The calculator works backwards to what that rate would be with instant replies, then applies only the share of enquiries an instant reply can realistically handle, so the estimate stays conservative.
Can an AI assistant really reply instantly at night?
An assistant on the official WhatsApp Business API answers every message within seconds, at any hour, from your own information: prices, timings, availability. It hands the conversation to your team when a person is needed.
Is my data saved?
No. Every number stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to Kredoo.
