Questions

WabaCRM vs DoubleTick — common questions

For most teams, yes — and for a small team it is free. WabaCRM costs nothing for your first 1,000 contacts and ₹96 per 1,000 contacts a month after that, with unlimited team members at every size. DoubleTick's entry plan is ₹3,000/month, billed yearly, plus 18% GST. The gap widens as your team grows, because Extra agents chargeable, price not published. It narrows if you hold a very large contact list and a tiny team, so check both against your own numbers.

Yes. Your WhatsApp Business Account belongs to your own Meta business portfolio, not to DoubleTick. Changing platform does not cost you your phone number, your verified display name or your approved message templates — you reconnect the same number to WabaCRM and your templates sync back from Meta.

No. Meta bills you directly for conversations, on your own card, at Meta's published rates. WabaCRM is a Meta-verified Tech Provider — a tier that is not permitted to resell Meta's per-message fees — so there is no markup to remove.

They are older and much better known, with a large library of published customer case studies and prebuilt integrations that we do not match yet. If your decision rests on a specific one-click integration or on seeing dozens of case studies from your industry, that is a real reason to choose them, and we would rather say so here than have you find out in week three.

Why this is safe to point your customer list at

Payments are processed by Razorpay on their own checkout — your card details are never entered on, or stored by, WabaCRM. Every inbound WhatsApp webhook is checked against its signature before it is trusted.

Tech Provider is a Meta platform access tier — not a partnership, a reseller agreement or an endorsement.
