Wati is a WhatsApp inbox and broadcast tool — it doesn't track deals. There's no Kanban pipeline to see where each lead is in your sales process. Your team manages leads in a separate spreadsheet or CRM, creating data silos.
Wati's chatbot uses keyword triggers and decision trees — it's not a real AI agent. It can't reason, qualify leads intelligently, update CRM fields, create tasks, or hand off based on context. For real AI automation, you need something built on GPT-4o or Gemini.
Wati's growth plan starts at $149/month and the features meaningful for a real sales team are only available at higher tiers. For 10 agents with AI features, expect $149–$299/month on Wati.
Wati doesn't let you call leads or collect payments inside WhatsApp. You need separate tools for Twilio calling and Stripe/Razorpay payments — adding cost and complexity.
Everything Wati has. Plus what Wati doesn't.
Train AI on your documents, FAQs, and rules. Let it qualify leads, update CRM fields, create tasks, move pipeline stages, and hand off to humans — automatically.
Kanban deal tracking from New Lead to Closed. Drag-and-drop stages, deal owners, tasks, and revenue tracking — all connected to your WhatsApp conversations.
Make and receive calls via Twilio or RingCentral. Log outcomes, record calls, and see all call history alongside WhatsApp messages on the same contact profile.
Send Stripe or Razorpay payment links inside WhatsApp conversations. Automatically move the deal to "Paid" when the customer pays.
Run an agency with separate workspaces for each client. Wati has no multi-tenant architecture. WhatsGrow AI was built for agencies from day one.
