LandinChat vs Wati — who each is built for
Growing D2C, e-commerce and services teams (3–50 agents) that want unlimited seats, transparent pricing, deeper automation and IST-hour human support without paying enterprise quotes.
Small teams already happy with Wati's interface who are still in the 1–2 agent range and don't need deeper automation, advanced attribution or done-for-you migration.

LandinChat vs Wati — common questions
Is LandinChat cheaper than Wati?+
For most teams above 2–3 agents, yes. Wati's per-agent pricing adds up fast — LandinChat includes unlimited agents on every plan and avoids the platform markup on Meta conversations. Real-world saving is typically 25–35% for growing teams. Meta's per-conversation fees are identical on both platforms because they're set by Meta, not the BSP.
Will I lose my WhatsApp number or green tick if I move from Wati?+
No. Your existing WhatsApp Business API number, display name and green-tick verification stay intact — we simply migrate the number from Wati's BSP to LandinChat's, with zero downtime. Your chat history within Wati does not transfer, but contacts, templates and integrations do.
How long does migration from Wati take?+
Most customers are fully migrated and live on LandinChat within 5–7 business days, including templates, contacts, integrations and team training. Our onboarding team handles the heavy lifting — you only need to approve copy and grant API access to your store and CRM.
Can LandinChat handle the same broadcast volumes as Wati?+
Yes. LandinChat is built on the official WhatsApp Business API and supports the same throughput tiers Meta provides to your number — there's no extra platform-side limit beyond Meta's. Brands on LandinChat regularly send 500k+ marketing messages per month without throttling.
Does LandinChat have a mobile app like Wati?+
Yes. LandinChat has native iOS and Android apps for the shared team inbox, so agents can reply on the go without sharing one phone. Push notifications, assignment, notes and quick replies all work on mobile.
How does LandinChat compare to Wati's chatbot?+
Both offer no-code visual flow builders. LandinChat goes deeper on conditional logic, native API/webhook steps and GPT-powered AI replies, so you can replace more support tickets with automation. Brands typically resolve 30–50% of inbound chats without an agent after switching.
Can I integrate LandinChat with my CRM and Shopify?+
Yes — native integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Zoho and Salesforce, plus Zapier, Make and an open REST API + webhooks for anything custom. Wati covers the same set, but several of LandinChat's connectors (Razorpay, Shiprocket, Google Sheets) are native where Wati routes through middleware.
Is LandinChat an official WhatsApp partner like Wati?+
Yes. LandinChat is an Official Meta Tech Partner and runs entirely on the approved WhatsApp Business API — same official infrastructure as Wati, with better pricing and support.
Will my Wati templates carry over?+
Yes. Approved Meta templates live in your WhatsApp Business Account, not in Wati. Our migration team re-attaches them to your LandinChat workspace so you don't need to re-submit and wait for Meta approval again.
Who owns my customer data?+
You do. LandinChat acts as a processor — your contacts, conversations and exports remain yours and can be exported at any time. We are SOC 2 aligned, GDPR-compliant and offer DPA on request.
What if we get stuck during migration?+
Every paid plan includes a dedicated onboarding manager during migration. We run a daily check-in, sit on a shared WhatsApp group with your team, and don't hand off to standard support until you've sent your first live broadcast successfully.
