What should you check before switching?
- The real monthly bill. Add the platform fee, seats, any extra AI charges, and whether Meta's per-message fees are passed through at cost or marked up. Our WhatsApp API pricing calculator helps.
- Who owns your number. Check that your WhatsApp Business Account stays yours and you can leave with your number.
- Template approval. You will need to resubmit templates on the new platform.
- Where AI is included. Some platforms charge for AI replies separately.
Comparisons on this site are based on each vendor's published information and we aim to say where another platform is the better fit. Competitor details change, so check their pricing pages before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Wati in India?
It depends on what you need. If cost per conversation and AI replies matter most, compare Wati against InboxWA, AiSensy and Interakt using the real monthly bill, not the headline plan price. The Wati alternative page lays this out.
Which WhatsApp platform has no markup on Meta fees?
Platforms differ on this, so ask for the all-in cost per marketing and utility message. InboxWA passes Meta's published rates through with no markup, and the zero-markup comparison page explains how to check any platform.
What do I need to move platforms?
Your WhatsApp Business Account stays yours if the platform uses Meta's Cloud API directly. You will need to resubmit message templates and reconnect your number.
