- Instant self-serve signup
- Large published integration and template library
- Long track record and a big installed base

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my existing number from WATI to WappBlaster?
Yes. The number is released from WATI and re-registered on our account, usually inside one maintenance window. Your approved templates, contact lists and chat history come across. Most migrations complete in one to two working days.
Link to this answerWill my WhatsApp number go down during the migration?
Only for the window in which the number is released and re-registered, which is typically under an hour and is scheduled with you. Everything before that step happens in parallel while your current provider keeps sending.
Link to this answerDo my approved templates have to be re-approved?
Templates are tied to the WhatsApp Business Account, so they are resubmitted on our side. We do that in advance, before the number moves, so approvals are already through when you switch.
Link to this answerIs WappBlaster on the same official Meta API?
Yes. WappBlaster and WATI both run on Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. The channel, the template rules and Meta's per-message charges are identical. What differs is the platform fee, what is included, and how much help you get setting it up.
Link to this answerIs WappBlaster cheaper than WATI?
On the platform fee, yes for most teams: a flat ₹7,999 a year is about ₹667 a month, against WATI's monthly tiers. The honest caveat is that Meta's per-message charges are the same on both, so if you send high volume, message cost dominates and the platform fee difference matters less. Bring your current invoice to the call and we will work out the actual number.
Link to this answerWhat does WATI do better?
Self-serve onboarding and ecosystem size. WATI has a large installed base, a big integration library and plenty of third-party guides. If you want to sign up and configure everything yourself without talking to anyone, that suits WATI better than our call-based setup.
Link to this answerStill not answered?
Ask a real person. We reply on WhatsApp, usually within the hour.

We will read it line by line, separate the platform fee from Meta’s per-message charge, and tell you honestly whether switching is worth it at your volume. Sometimes it is not.
