A Wati alternative that stores your data in the EU
Wati and Tobachat both start from WhatsApp, with a team inbox, automations, and broadcasts. They differ in who bills your messages, where your data is kept, and which currency you pay in.
Where each one fits
Wati is the better pick when
- Instagram, Facebook, web chat, and SMS should sit in the same inbox as WhatsApp.
- You also want to call customers from the same platform.
- You need an app from a directory of more than 100 integrations.
Tobachat is the better pick when
- You'd like Meta to bill your messages directly.
- Your data should be stored in the EU without a separate hosting contract.
- You'd rather start free than on a 7-day trial.
- You'd rather pay in euros.
