02 · The fair take
The fair take on each platform
Choose Wati if your growth depends on broadcast campaigns, campaign analytics dashboards and a 14-day genuinely free trial, and you accept per-conversation fees on top of the $49/mo seat. Choose Interakt if you run a Shopify-first store and want catalog, checkout bots and payment links inside WhatsApp, and you accept a $55/mo entry price with per-conversation fees on top.
03 · Where Wutt fits
Where Wutt fits in this decision
Choose Wutt if you want booking, store chat, AI replies and a shared WhatsApp + Telegram inbox without paying for a separate booking system - and if a predictable flat price matters more than per-conversation billing. Wutt adds no markup to Meta fees, which is the line item that quietly doubles WhatsApp CRM bills.

05 · Migration path
Moving from Wati vs Interakt to Wutt
- Export your contacts and conversation history from your current platform (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.
- Set up your inbox rules, booking services, and store connection.
- 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.
06 · Proof
Verification
Teams switching from either platform to Wutt typically keep the same WhatsApp number and templates. The capability to watch in a migration is the bill: per-conversation fees on the old platform disappear, while Meta's own fees stay the same.
