The fair take

Who should choose Respond.io

Choose Respond.io if you need a serious omnichannel suite — WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and web chat in one AI-assisted inbox with workflows, broadcasts and multi-agent seats — and you are comfortable with active-contact pricing and a $79–$99/mo entry ticket.

Who should choose Wutt

Respond.io vs Wutt: the deciding factor

Choose Wutt if WhatsApp is your primary channel and you want booking, store chat, campaigns and revenue attribution at a flat price — or if paying $79/mo just to start is more than your stack needs.

Migration path

Moving from Respond.io to Wutt

Export your contacts and conversation history from Respond.io (CSV).
Create your Wutt workspace and connect the same WhatsApp number via Meta Cloud API or QR session.
Re-submit your approved templates in Wutt; Meta keeps template approvals per business, not per provider.
Import contacts, tags, and notes into Wutt.
Recreate your workflows as Wutt flows and campaigns, then set up booking services.
Run both tools in parallel for one week, then switch your wa.me links and QR codes to Wutt.

Most teams migrate in 3–5 days. Your WhatsApp number is not lost — it is connected to a new application, not moved.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before switching

No. Your number stays with you. You disconnect it from Respond.io and connect it to Wutt using the same Meta Cloud API account or a QR session. Meta approvals for templates are tied to your business, not to Respond.io.

You can reuse the same template text, but you re-submit the templates inside Wutt so approvals are associated with your Wutt workspace. Most approvals take a few hours to a few days.

The mechanical part takes one to two hours: export contacts, connect the number, import templates. Most teams run both tools for a week before fully switching links and QR codes.

You pay for the contacts you actually talk to in a billing month. Growth starts with 1,000 active contacts and bills $12 per 100 extra contacts (monthly). Wutt instead bills a flat plan price per month with no contact metering.

Both support Telegram. Respond.io handles many channels in one suite; Wutt combines WhatsApp + Telegram with booking, store chat and revenue attribution at a flat price.

No — their FAQ states WhatsApp fees are not included in any subscription. You top up WhatsApp credit on their platform. Wutt also keeps Meta fees separate, but adds no markup to them.

Wutt runs a $1 first-month trial. Respond.io offers a 7-day free trial. Compare them side by side on the same number.
