8 Closed.
Toran answers the visitor who opens the chat on your pricing page, asks about their use case, team size and timeline, and routes the hot ones to a rep on WhatsApp - before they bounce. On Business, when a visit comes from an identifiable company network, you see the company behind it too. No Intercom bill. Free for small teams - no time limit.
How a hot pricing-page lead reaches an account executive
Someone weighing your plans opens the chat on your pricing page, Toran scores the lead and flags the hot ones, and the lead reaches an account executive on WhatsApp instead of an email queue.

Close Deals Faster. Spend Less Doing It.
SaaS companies pay $29–$132/seat/month for Intercom (captured 2026-06-04). Toran's free plan covers the chat, the WhatsApp handoff and round-robin routing. Lead scores come with Pro, company signals with Business.
Company Signals for B2B Visitors
On Business, when a visitor arrives from an identifiable company network - typically larger organizations with their own registered IP ranges - Toran shows the company behind the visit on the lead, so your rep knows who they are talking to before replying.
Read at the edge from Cloudflare's network data - no API call, no database lookup. It's a bonus signal for visitors on corporate networks, not every visitor; visitor location is detected instantly for all.
Pricing Page Intent Scoring
A visitor on your pricing or demo page asks about a demo, a trial, or a quote for their team, and Toran scores the lead hot. On Pro, the score and an AI summary show on the lead. On Business, the alert can also go to Slack.
Route by Campaign or Country
Every plan shares leads round-robin across your reps. On Pro, campaign rules send leads with a given UTM tag or referring site to a named rep. On Business, geo-routing sends a lead from Germany to your EMEA rep.
Stop SDR Burnout
Many SaaS inquiries are early browsing. Toran's AI asks the use case, team size, current tool, timeline and role before your team gets involved, and never quotes a price your site does not show. SDRs start from the answers instead of answering FAQs.
The Intercom Alternative SaaS Teams Actually Afford.
Intercom starts at $29/seat/month. Toran starts at $0. You get WhatsApp lead capture and round-robin routing free, lead scores and campaign rules on Pro, and company signals and Slack alerts on Business.
Live Attribution
See which campaign brought each lead. Toran keeps the UTM source, medium and campaign on every lead, so you can connect your marketing spend to WhatsApp conversations.
Every lead keeps the UTM parameters it arrived with. On Pro, the outbound webhook sends the lead and its AI summary to your CRM through Zapier, Make or n8n.
The MRR Math Behind a 5-Minute Response Window.
Speed-to-lead isn't a vanity metric for SaaS - it bends the LTV/CAC ratio your board reviews. Here is the back-of-envelope calculation for a typical seed-stage SaaS with a $30 MRR seat, a $40 blended CAC, and a 5% trial-to-paid baseline.
- · 1,000 pricing-page visitors / month
- · 50 trial sign-ups (5% conversion)
- · 5% trial → paid at a 6h email response = 2.5 paid
- · LTV at 12-month average tenure: $30 × 12 = $360
- · CAC: $40 / 0.0025 conversion = $16,000 acquisition cost per paid (math from $40 ad cost × 1,000 visitors / 2.5 paid)
- · LTV/CAC: 0.023 - the unit economics are upside-down
- · Same 1,000 visitors, same 50 sign-ups
- · Faster first response lifts trial → paid - say 5% climbs toward ~10% in this illustration = ~5 paid
- · LTV unchanged: $360
- · CAC: $40 × 1,000 / 5 = ~$8,000 per paid
- · LTV/CAC: 0.045 - still rough, but ~2× better, and the payback period shortens once the gross-margin step-up compounds.
The point isn't the exact numbers - plug your own ARR, CAC, and trial-to-paid baseline in. The point is that the gap between a WhatsApp conversation routed in seconds and a 6-hour email follow-up is the line between “burning cash on Google Ads we never close” and “a payback period your board can underwrite.” Run your own numbers before you decide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is WhatsApp lead routing for SaaS teams?
WhatsApp lead routing for SaaS sends the visitors who open a chat on your site, such as people on your pricing or demo page, straight to a sales rep on WhatsApp. Toran's AI asks their use case, team size, current tool, timeline and role, flags demo, trial and pricing intent as hot, and routes the lead round-robin. On Pro, your team also sees the lead score and an AI summary.
How does Toran compare to Intercom for SaaS lead routing?
Toran focuses on the first-response problem: getting a rep in front of a hot lead within seconds. Unlike Intercom, Toran routes to personal WhatsApp numbers (no Business API required) and costs $0 for small teams. Lead scores show from Pro. Intercom is better for in-app messaging and support; Toran is better for pre-sales WhatsApp routing.
Does Toran require the WhatsApp Business API for SaaS teams?
No. Toran routes website visitors directly to agents' personal WhatsApp numbers using direct wa.me links - no WhatsApp Business API approval, no per-conversation fees, no Meta setup. Your team gets leads on the WhatsApp they already use.
Is Toran free for SaaS startups?
Yes. Toran has a free plan - no time limit, no credit card - for teams with up to 2 agents. The free plan includes the SaaS-tuned AI (2 AI conversations a day), round-robin routing, and alerts by WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or push. Lead scores, AI summaries and campaign rules come with Pro, and company signals with Business. Paid plans open 1 January 2027 and start at $24/month. If a hot lead sits unanswered for 4 hours, the alert fires again at full volume.
