Wabix vs Wati: the same power, without the markup
Wati is a strong all-round platform, but reviewers consistently flag its pricing -- a platform markup on top of Meta's own fees, plus per-seat charges once you outgrow the included agents. Wabix adds Telegram and keeps conversation fees markup-free.

Pricing, in plain terms
Wabix
One platform fee, and Meta's own conversation charges are passed through as-is. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, the contacts CRM, the automation builder and AI voice calling are part of the same plan.
Wati
Wati's plans run roughly $49-$299/month before extra seats ($24-69/user once you exceed the included count) and a reported ~20% markup on top of Meta's own per-message fees. Third-party analysis puts a real mid-size team's bill at several times the advertised sticker price.
Common questions before switching from Wati
Wati's own users are the ones flagging this: a reported ~20% markup on top of Meta's per-message fees, plus $24-69 for every agent seat beyond what's included. Those add up fast for a growing team -- compare your real monthly total, not just the base plan price.
