Overview
Blip is a conversational platform from Curupira S/A of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Businesses build bots and AI agents, which Blip calls Intelligent Contacts, once and publish them to many channels. Its developer docs list Apple Business Chat (now Apple Messages for Business) next to WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Google RCS, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, email and SMS. Blip says it holds top-tier partnerships with Meta, Google and Apple.

How it compares to Linq
Apple Messages for Business is Apple's business chat channel in the Messages app, not iMessage from a phone number: customers chat with a verified brand and usually start the conversation. Linq sends iMessage, RCS and SMS from real phone numbers through an API, for a flat fee from $260 a month. Blip bills by conversation volume and centers on bots and agents across many channels.
Best for
Brands in Latin America that sell and support on WhatsApp and want the same bots on Apple Messages.
