How to compare WhatsApp platforms: total cost, not one price
A low headline price can hide add-ons and per-message fees. Put each platform’s numbers into the same formula before you decide:
Monthly cost = plan fee + extra seats + add-ons you need + (messages sent × per-message rate) + taxes
- Plan fee and billing period. Is the price monthly, or only low when you pay a year up front?
- Seats. How many teammates are included, and what does each extra one cost?
- Add-ons. Chatbots, AI replies and a CRM or pipeline are sometimes separate products. List the ones you need.
- Per-message rate. Meta charges per delivered message by category (marketing, utility, authentication). Ask whether the provider adds a markup, including on replies inside the 24-hour window. Our guide to WhatsApp API pricing in India explains the categories, and the cost calculator estimates a month.
- Contacts. Some platforms price by number of contacts or monthly active contacts.
- Currency and GST. Dollar prices change with the exchange rate; rupee prices and GST invoices are easier to budget and claim.
Questions to ask Wati and Interakt (or any provider) before you pay
- What is the total monthly cost for my team size and message volume, with every add-on I need?
- Do you add a markup on Meta’s per-message rate? Is it the same on every plan?
- What happens if I go over my contacts, seats or automation limit?
- Can I export my contacts and conversations if I leave?
- Is there a refund or cancellation policy in writing?
- How fast is support, and who answers: a person or a bot?
- Can I move my existing WhatsApp number to you, and what is the process?
Switching to Responseify from another platform
Most teams move in an afternoon. This is the order that keeps customers from noticing:
- Start on the free plan and invite one teammate. Nothing is charged and you can test with real chats.
- Connect your WhatsApp number. A number can be connected to one provider at a time, so ask your current provider how to release it before you move it. See how to connect a number.
- Export your contacts from the old platform as a CSV and import them. Only import people who have agreed to hear from you.
- Recreate your templates and submit them for approval. See the template approval guide.
- Rebuild your automations and chatbot flows from the flow templates.
- Test with a teammate, then switch over at a quiet hour.
