05 · Migration path
Moving from Twilio to Wutt
- Create your Wutt workspace and connect your WhatsApp number via Meta Cloud API or QR session.
- Import your contacts, tags, and notes from your existing CRM or spreadsheet.
- Set up inbox rules, booking services, and your store connection.
- Move your wa.me links and QR codes to Wutt.
- Keep your Twilio account running only for anything you still need the raw API for.
Because there is no per-conversation migration, most teams are live in a day. Your WhatsApp number does not change.

Questions buyers ask before switching
No. Wutt connects to WhatsApp through the Meta Cloud API or a QR session, and to Telegram through a bot token. Twilio is not required.
It means Twilio provides the building blocks (APIs) but the shared inbox, booking, store chat, AI drafts and CRM have to be coded and maintained by your own team.
At very low volume, Twilio's per-message fees can look small, but you must add the engineering cost of building and maintaining the CRM layer. Wutt is a flat $11/$99/$299 with the application included.
Yes. Your number connects to Wutt via Meta Cloud API or QR session and nothing about the number itself changes.
