02 · What to watch

What to watch during the move

Teams switching from Respond.io to Wutt typically keep the same WhatsApp number and templates. The capability to watch in a migration is the pricing model: Wutt's flat plan versus Respond.io's active-contact billing and overage increments.

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.
