Billabex: an alternative to Cleavr
Comparing Cleavr and Billabex? For an SME seeking to delegate email conversations with explicit human approvals, Billabex provides a clear follow-up process.
Two AI approaches to compare on real cases
Cleavr presents itself as an AI-powered cash collection solution. Its website advertises multichannel reminders, a debtor portal, a path to litigation and Chorus Pro features.
Cleavr also offers adaptive AI that qualifies replies and orchestrates several channels. Autonomy or personalisation alone therefore does not distinguish Billabex. Our recommendation for an SME rests on a concrete process: agent-handled emails, team-approved payment plans and other channels used after approval.

The Billabex advantage
Approvals defined in advance
You know what you are delegating: the agent conducts email conversations and prepares payment-plan proposals. Your team approves instalment agreements as well as the content, recipient and cost of an SMS or letter.
A conversation with context you can review
Invoices, conversations, commitments and actions remain visible in the customer view. This continuity lets you take over a case with the information needed when a human decision becomes useful.
Our recommendation for SMEs: Billabex
In summary, here is the best approach based on your situation.
Evaluate Cleavr if your priority is to evaluate a multichannel AI process with a debtor portal and Chorus Pro requirements.
For an SME prioritising email follow-up and retaining approval of payment plans and paid actions, choose Billabex. The agent conducts conversations within this explicit process and your team retains the context needed to decide. This recommendation is based on that workflow, without claiming Cleavr lacks oversight.
