02 · The fair take
@lang('Who should choose ')Wati
Choose Wati if your growth depends on broadcast-heavy campaign analytics dashboards and Shopify-specific automations, or if you are already standardised on Wati and the migration cost outweighs the savings. Wati is a mature platform with strong template and broadcast tooling.
03 · Where Wutt fits
Wati vs Wutt: the deciding factor
Choose Wutt if your growth is inbound conversation — bookings, orders and support in chat — and you want booking, store chat, AI replies and a shared WhatsApp + Telegram inbox at one flat price. Wutt adds no markup to Meta fees, which is the line item that quietly doubles WhatsApp CRM bills.

05 · Migration path
Moving from Wati to Wutt
- Export your contacts and conversation history from Wati (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 Wati to Wutt typically keep the same WhatsApp number and templates, and report the main saving on per-conversation fees and the booking subscription.
Questions buyers ask before switching
No. Your number stays with you. You disconnect it from Wati 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 Wati.
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.
Wutt starts at $11/mo and Wati at $49/mo, and Wati charges per-conversation fees on top of the seat price. At 5,000 conversations a month those fees can exceed the seat price, while Wutt is a flat $99/mo. Meta still bills the underlying message fees in both cases.
Wati charges per-conversation fees that include their markup. Wutt adds no markup — Meta bills you for message fees, and Wutt bills a flat plan price.
Wati does not offer a booking request workflow and has no Telegram inbox; those are Wutt features on every plan. Wati's Shopify-specific automations are genuinely deeper, so test both if Shopify is your stack.
Wutt runs a $1 first-month trial. Wati offers a 14-day free trial. Compare them side by side on the same number.
