Comparison

Wazzly vs Wati

Both run on the official WhatsApp Business API, and Wati is a solid, well-known tool. The real difference is ownership. Wati is a monthly, cloud-hosted subscription. Wazzly is a one-time purchase you self-host, white-label, and own the source to.

Here's an honest, side-by-side look so you can decide what fits.

The bottom line

If you want a hands-off, hosted tool and don't mind a monthly bill, Wati is a reasonable pick. If you'd rather pay once, keep your data on your own server, and never lose access when you stop paying — that's exactly what Wazzly is built for.
