Wati review

Wati brings customer conversations from WhatsApp, Instagram, web chat and other channels into a shared team inbox. The aim is to give agents one place to handle messages and conversations rather than switching between channel-specific tools. The listed features also include social messages, calls and web conversations, though the pricing page’s channel caps matter: Growth includes three channels, while Pro and Business list unlimited channels.

Wati also sells Astra AI Agents, which can handle conversations and actions autonomously. When a person needs to step in, the team can take over with the conversation thread. Automation handles customer conversations across channels, while integrations connect Wati to other tools. Teams can also bring their own AI models and connect tools through MCP.

In short, Wati combines messaging, automation and AI in a team inbox. It is not a free entry-level option: the pricing page lists a seven-day trial and no free plan.

Wati’s appeal is the combination of channel coverage and automation. Teams can bring conversations from channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat into one inbox, then use automation or Astra AI Agents to handle routine conversations and actions. The human handoff means an agent can take over with the thread, rather than starting the exchange from scratch.

The plans also spell out useful operating limits. According to the pricing page, Growth is MX$829 per month when billed annually and includes three users, 500 monthly active contacts, three channels, 15,000 broadcasts and 2,500 automation triggers. Pro is MX$1,689 per month on annual billing, with five users, 1,000 monthly active contacts, unlimited channels and 10,000 triggers. Business is MX$4,249 per month on annual billing, with 10 users, 2,500 monthly active contacts and 25,000 triggers.

The higher tiers may suit teams that need more room for integrations and workflows: Business lists unlimited integrations, while Pro lists unlimited channels and broadcasts at standard rates. The page also lists a seven-day trial, so teams can review the fit before committing to an annual plan.

The listed annual prices are not the full cost. The pricing page says message charges apply and vary by message type; it does not publish monthly-billing prices. That makes it harder to estimate spend if your broadcasts or customer conversations are a major part of the workload. A Reddit thread about WhatsApp platform costs also discusses per-message charges across tools, but it does not establish Wati’s exact rates.

Growth’s caps are meaningful: three users, 500 monthly active contacts, three channels, 15,000 broadcasts and 2,500 automation triggers. Pro raises those limits, but still lists 1,000 monthly active contacts and five users. Additional contacts cost MX$370 per 250, and another WhatsApp number is MX$550 per month. The Shopify integration is listed at USD 4.99 per month. Prices for extra users, extra contacts on Pro and Business, and additional automation triggers are not published.

One commenter comparing Wati with another provider called its interface cluttered. That is one user’s view, not a consistent finding. Another r/ecommerce thread describes a Wati price increase, but it is a user report, not confirmation of a published price change.

Wati has no free plan, and its pricing page lists a 7-day trial. Prices below are per month when billed annually; monthly-billing prices are not published.

• Growth: MX$829/month for 3 users, 500 monthly active contacts, 3 channels, 15,000 broadcasts and 2,500 automation triggers.
• Pro: MX$1,689/month for 5 users, 1,000 contacts, unlimited channels and broadcasts at standard rates, and 10,000 triggers.
• Business: MX$4,249/month for 10 users, 2,500 contacts, unlimited integrations, broadcasts with volume discounts, and 25,000 triggers.

The jump from Growth to Pro is MX$860/month; Pro to Business adds MX$2,560/month. Extra contacts cost MX$370 per 250, and an additional WhatsApp number costs MX$550/month. Shopify integration is USD 4.99/month. Message charges vary by message type; extra trigger pricing is not published. Pro and Business allow additional users and contacts, but their prices are not listed. Check those costs and your message volume before choosing a tier.

A move to Wati means bringing conversations from channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat into a shared inbox, then setting up automations, integrations and any AI agents. The published material does not explain whether Wati imports conversation history, supports bulk contact migration, or lets you export data when leaving. Confirm those points with Wati before moving; also check whether your current tools can hand over channel access and customer records.

The plan caps can shape a move: Growth includes 3 channels and 500 monthly active contacts, while Pro raises those limits to unlimited channels and 1,000 contacts. Business includes 2,500 contacts. Message charges also apply. The published material contains no Reddit posts or comments, so we can’t responsibly say what users report as reasons for leaving Wati. Based on the published pricing, contact limits, message fees and unpublished monthly-billing prices are the items to scrutinize before switching in or out.
