Wati
Low entry price, tight seats
MotherBot vs Wati
The cheapest way to start if you're three people. The $49 plan sells no fourth seat — a team of five begins at $99, then $24–69 per person.

Pick MotherBot if…
You'll outgrow three seats, or you need channels and back-office work beyond messaging.
Being fair
Where Wati wins
If one of these is what your business runs on, buy theirs.
A lower entry price
$49/month annually. For one to three people, hard to beat.
Pay as you go
₹999 once, three months, credits included. We have nothing that small.
A longer track record
A WhatsApp provider for longer than us, with a bigger published customer base.
The other side
Where MotherBot wins
Seats that don't punish growth
Their $49 plan takes 3 people and sells no more. A fourth means $99.
Four more channels
Telegram, LINE, Viber and RCS — plus fallback when WhatsApp can't deliver.
Quote, approve, invoice
With GST. They publish no quotation module.
Calls, written up
They have WhatsApp calling. We add the transcript and an AI score.
Indian lead portals
IndiaMART, MagicBricks, 99acres and more, as conversations.
Nothing goes unread
Auto-retry on failed and unread messages. Not published by Wati.
Not on the table above
Six things none of the ten publish
They're not matrix rows because every competitor column would read “?”. They're just ours.
Quote, approve, invoice
Send a branded quotation, route it for sign-off, see when it's opened — then raise the GST invoice.
Calls that write themselves up
Call from the platform. Recorded, transcribed onto the contact, scored by AI against your checklist.
Portal leads, as conversations
IndiaMART, MagicBricks, 99acres, Housing and NoBroker enquiries arrive as chats. No inbox, no copy-paste.
Nothing goes unread
A message that fails — or lands and is never opened — goes again on a schedule you set.
Forms built by dragging
Screens, fields, logic and your own data, with a live phone preview beside you.
Where your team already works
Chrome, Google Sheets and WordPress extensions, plus Zapier. Start from the spreadsheet you have.
