Comparison

TCHAT vs Wati, Karzoun Chat and BusinessChat

Four WhatsApp business platforms, compared on what their own sites publish — not on what we say about them.

All four run on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform; they differ on price, team limits and channels. TCHAT is the lowest published entry price: 90 SAR a month (about $24), with its AI chatbot on the middle plan rather than the top tier and no user limit or per-seat fee on that plan. Wati has the widest global integration library (HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify) and the highest entry price at $119 a month billed annually, plus a per-seat fee past the plan limit. Karzoun Chat adds channels beyond WhatsApp — Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, email — from $49 a month, with a fixed staff count on each plan. BusinessChat is aimed at online stores and does not publish its prices.

Figures come from each platform's own website as published on 2026-08-28 and they do change — check the provider's site before you decide. “Not published” means the platform does not show it on its site, not that it doesn't offer it. Dollar conversion is approximate (3.75 SAR to the dollar), and WhatsApp conversation fees are billed to you by Meta separately on TCHAT.

When another platform fits you better

No platform fits every business. These are the cases where someone else is the better call — said plainly.

Wati

What it is
A global WhatsApp business platform serving dozens of markets, with an integration library covering HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Shopify and Zapier.
Fits you if
If your team runs on global tools — a CRM or sales stack like Salesforce or HubSpot — or you sell outside the Gulf in several languages, its integration library is wider than ours today.
What differs here
It starts at $119 a month billed annually — roughly five times our Basic plan — plus a per-seat fee past the plan limit ($49 on Pro), while our Advanced plan has no user limit and no seat fee. Its AI chatbot sits on the $179 Pro plan; ours is on Advanced at 199 SAR.

Karzoun Chat

What it is
An Arabic customer-service platform that puts official WhatsApp alongside Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, email and website chat in one inbox.
Fits you if
If your customer conversations are spread across many channels rather than WhatsApp alone, its multi-channel inbox gathers them in one place — we don't do that: TCHAT is WhatsApp only, on purpose.
What differs here
Its AI sits on the top plan ($399 a month) while ours is on Advanced (199 SAR); its plans cap staff at a fixed count (1, then 5, then 15) while our Advanced plan has no user limit; and its marketing campaigns start on the $99 middle plan while ours start on Basic.

BusinessChat

What it is
A WhatsApp marketing platform for online stores on hosted commerce platforms, best known for a free abandoned-cart notification app.
Fits you if
If recovering abandoned carts in your store is your first concern, its free app is a zero-cost way to test the idea before subscribing to anything.
What differs here
It doesn't publish prices, so comparing it means contacting them first. And TCHAT isn't a store tool: clinics, offices and service businesses use it with no store at all, and the price is published on the page before you register.

Why TCHAT

Four practical differences that show up on the invoice and in daily use.

  • The lowest published entry price

    90 SAR a month (about $24), published on the page before you register — lower than any of the three publishes, and one of them publishes nothing at all.

  • Unlimited users, no seat fee

    Our Advanced plan has no user limit. The others either add a fee for every user past the plan limit, or cap staff at a fixed count so team growth alone pushes you to a higher tier.

  • The chatbot on the middle plan

    199 SAR — about $53 — instead of waiting for the top tier as it does on some platforms.

  • An Arabic-first product and support

    The dashboard and mobile app are fully Arabic, support answers in Arabic over WhatsApp and email, legal documents are in Arabic — and Meta itself is the official platform behind the channel.

Comparison questions

How do I choose a WhatsApp business platform?

There is no single answer; the right one comes down to three questions: how many people are on your team, do you need channels beyond WhatsApp, and do you run on ready-made global tools? A business that wants a full team on a fixed published price finds TCHAT closest; one needing Facebook, Instagram and Telegram alongside WhatsApp finds Karzoun Chat closer; one running on tools like Salesforce and HubSpot finds Wati's library wider.

Is TCHAT an alternative to Wati?

Where price and team size matter, yes: it starts at 90 SAR a month (about $24) against Wati's $119 billed annually, and its Advanced plan has no user limit while Wati adds $49 per user past five on Pro. If you need a ready connection to Salesforce or HubSpot, Wati's library is wider.

What is the difference between TCHAT and Karzoun Chat?

Karzoun Chat is a multi-channel inbox (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, email); TCHAT is WhatsApp only. In practice the difference is limits and price: our AI chatbot starts at 199 SAR and theirs at $399, and our Advanced plan has no user limit while their plans cap users at a fixed count.

How much do WhatsApp business platforms cost per month?

Published prices start at 90 SAR a month for TCHAT, $49 for Karzoun Chat and $119 for Wati billed annually, while BusinessChat does not publish prices on its site. WhatsApp conversation fees themselves are billed by Meta separately on TCHAT and are not part of the subscription.

Do I lose my number or templates if I move between platforms?

No. Your WhatsApp number stays in your Meta business account, so you detach it from one platform and connect it to another without losing it, and your approved templates live with the Meta account rather than the platform. Your conversation history stays with the platform that held it, so ask for an export before you move.

How can we verify these figures?

Every figure in the table comes from the provider's own pricing page on 2026-08-28 and you can check it on their site. Anything a provider does not publish is written as “not published” rather than guessed, and the date is stated so you know when the table needs re-checking.
