Why teams choose BizBotify over WATI
Both run on Meta's official WhatsApp Business API, so message delivery is the same. The differences are pricing, plan limits and how you sell.
- You want to pay Meta's message rates with no markup, so your bill does not grow faster than your sending.
- Your team sells on WhatsApp and needs a built-in sales pipeline: turn a chat into an enquiry in one tap, qualify it onto the Sales board and follow up from the team task list.
- You want chatbot flows, drip sequences and campaigns without add-on fees or caps on how many you build.
- You already run Odoo or Zoho and want WhatsApp contacts and messages synced into it.
Keep in mind that BizBotify plans are billed annually and cap users and monthly outgoing messages (10,000 on Starter, 25,000 on Growth). Contacts are unlimited.
