WhatsApp API alternative
Scriwo vs WhatsApp Business API platforms
WhatsApp Business API platforms are built for high-volume, template-based messaging from one official number. Scriwo is built for teams who talk to customers from the numbers they already use. They solve different problems.
| Scriwo | WhatsApp Business API platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Numbers | Each staff member's existing number | Usually one or a few official numbers |
| Setup | Scan a QR code | Business verification and number registration |
| Messaging customers first | Normal WhatsApp conversations; broadcasts to opted-in contacts with delays | Approved message templates, billed per conversation |
| Best for | Relationship selling and support by named staff | Large automated notifications and marketing |
| Green tick / official badge | No | Possible, subject to approval |
The honest verdict
If you need thousands of automated notifications a day from one official number, use an API platform. If your people sell and support customers on their own WhatsApp, Scriwo fits better.
