meruma vs Wati
meruma and Wati, compared on what each user costs
Wati bundles a fixed number of users and charges for the ones after that. If your team grows, that maths changes a lot; and WhatsApp messages are billed by Wati on its own rate card, not by Meta.
Where Wati is the better bet
Wati has spent years focused on WhatsApp and on large broadcast volumes, with store and catalogue integrations that solve an e-commerce day. If your operation is sending tens of thousands of messages a month from a store, that path is already paved there.

- Your operation fits comfortably in three to five people and will not grow.
What people usually ask
Why do you not publish Wati’s price?
Because their page does not show it without picking a region, and the third-party sites that repeat it contradict each other. We would rather say it is not published than print a number that may not be what you will be charged. The link to their page is below so you can check.
What difference does it make who charges for messages?
When Meta bills you directly, the price of each conversation is the one Meta publishes for your country and you can verify it. When the platform charges it on its own rate card, the platform sets the price. Not necessarily dearer, but not comparable with anything.
