What ZeroCode Ventures is, and where it shines

ZeroCode Ventures is a sole proprietorship in Parkstad Limburg. Its WhatsApp AI employee answers customer questions around the clock, trained on your services, prices and tone. It captures contact details and questions for follow-up, answers quote questions by email and sends a weekly report on conversations, leads and missed revenue. The order form offers sectors such as estate agents, construction, hospitality, retail, beauty, accountancy and care.[1]

Where it shines is the price and the simple offer. A one-time implementation of €500 covers the knowledge base, integrations and a test round, and monitoring and adjustments are in the monthly price. The order form says live within 2 weeks. You can try a WhatsApp test number on the page and book a free 30-minute demo.[1][3]

What AI Setups is

AI Setups sets up ready-made AI agents for SMEs with 2 to 100 staff. We start with the Operations Agent, which answers questions about the business, writes reports and drafts routine work, and the Lead Gen Agent, which finds new B2B leads and writes personal emails every day.

We connect your systems, adapt the agent to how your business works and show your team how to use it. The agent works in Slack, WhatsApp and email, does the routine work and asks a person to approve before anything goes out. It costs €500 a month per agent, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee.

Key differences

What the agent is for

ZeroCode Ventures is customer-facing. Its WhatsApp AI employee answers your customers directly, captures leads, and hands doubtful cases to the owner.[1][2]

AI Setups starts with the Operations Agent and the Lead Gen Agent, with the Sales Rep Agent and the AI Receptionist next. They work in Slack, WhatsApp and email.

How you pay

ZeroCode Ventures charges €500 once for implementation, then €100 a month including 1,000 AI replies, or €150 a month with email. What happens above 1,000 replies is not stated. It is monthly cancellable.[1]

AI Setups charges €500 a month per agent, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee.

Control and approval

ZeroCode Ventures replies to customers directly and hands doubtful cases and captured leads to the owner. It does not describe an approve-before-sending step.[1][2]

AI Setups agents do the routine work and ask a person to approve before anything goes out.

Data and hosting

ZeroCode Ventures calls itself 'AVG-proof' and does not state a hosting location. Its terms say the service depends on third parties such as WhatsApp (Meta), AI model providers and cloud providers.[1][2]

At AI Setups, hosting and data are agreed per customer.

Pricing side by side

Plan Price What you get
Implementation[1] €500 one-time Knowledge base, integrations and a test round
WhatsApp AI employee[1] €100 a month Includes 1,000 AI replies a month; monitoring and adjustments included
WhatsApp AI employee with email[1] €150 a month Total, no extra setup

Published prices only, as shown on the date above. AI Setups prices are excl. VAT.

Example: a company with 10 staff

A 10-person company pays €500 once and then €100 a month. Over the first 3 months that is 500 + 3 × 100 = €800, or 500 + 3 × 150 = €950 with email. Replies above 1,000 a month are not priced on the site.[1]

One AI Setups agent for 3 months is 3 × 500 = €1,500, with no setup fee. Prices excl. VAT. The jobs differ: ZeroCode Ventures answers your customers, an AI Setups agent does your routine work.

When ZeroCode Ventures is the better choice

  • You want only a customer-facing WhatsApp answering service, at €100 a month.[1]
  • Your budget is small: the monthly fee is a fifth of an AI Setups agent, plus a €500 one-time build.[1]
  • You want to cancel monthly.[1]
  • You want to try a WhatsApp test number and a free 30-minute demo before you decide.[1]

When AI Setups is the better choice

  • You want agents that do internal work, such as reports and outreach, rather than only answering inbound WhatsApp messages.
  • You want the agent in Slack, WhatsApp and email.
  • You want a person to approve before anything goes out.
  • You want hosting and data agreed with you per customer.

Switching, or using both

You do not have to choose one for everything. A business could use a WhatsApp answering service for inbound customer questions and an AI Setups agent for reports or lead follow-up.

If you add AI Setups, start with the one process you rely on most. We set that agent up first; you keep your own tools and accounts.

Where we run this ourselves

We run the same agents in our own companies. The Operations Agent runs every day at Remodius, the ecommerce brand Jim runs, and the Lead Gen Agent runs our own outreach on Rasmus's tools ListFixer, MailSpot and Leadster.
