Wati alternative with unlimited agents and a free plan that actually broadcasts

Wati is the best-known WhatsApp platform in India and a capable one. Its pricing is built around seats: the entry plan stops at three users and will not sell you a fourth, and the plan above it charges ₹1,299 a month for each extra person. If your team is growing, that is the line item that grows with it.

Questions

WabaCRM vs Wati — 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. Wati's entry plan is ₹2,999/month. The gap widens as your team grows, because ₹1,299 per extra user, per month (Pro). 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 Wati. 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.

Export your contacts as CSV from Wati and import them here — column names are matched automatically and numbers are normalised. Your WhatsApp number stays yours; you reconnect it 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.

Try it before you cancel Wati

Free for your first 1,000 contacts, with no time limit and no card. Setting up the workspace takes minutes; connecting a number takes as long as Meta's own review of it.

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.
