TCHAT vs Wati
Both run on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform. They differ on price, currency, integrations and team limits — and on who each was built for.
Wati is a global WhatsApp business platform serving dozens of markets. It starts at $119 a month billed annually and adds $49 per user past the five included on its Pro plan. TCHAT starts at 90 SAR a month (about $24), with no user limit and no seat fee on its Advanced plan. The bigger practical difference shows up as the team grows rather than in month one: ten staff on Wati means $424 a month on its own published figures, against 199 SAR here however large the team gets. In return, Wati's library covers global tools — HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Shopify, Zapier — and is wider than ours for a team that runs on them.

When Wati is the better call
Four cases, said plainly, where Wati suits you better than TCHAT.
- You run on global tools like Salesforce, HubSpot or Zoho and want a ready connection with no development: Wati's published integration library is wider than ours today.
- Your store is on Shopify or WooCommerce and you want a published, ready-made app — both are in its integration library.
- You sell outside the Gulf and need teams, markets and languages beyond Arabic and English.
- You need a custom domain or IP whitelisting — both sit on their Business plan.
Why choose TCHAT over Wati
What a full team actually costs
Our Advanced plan is 199 SAR a month with no user limit. Wati's Pro plan is $179 for five users, and every user after that is $49 — so a team of ten costs $424 a month there (about 1,590 SAR) by their own published numbers.
The chatbot at 199 SAR
The AI chatbot is on our Advanced plan at 199 SAR (about $53). On Wati it sits on the $179 Pro plan — roughly three and a half times as much.
Billed in riyals
You pay in riyals with your local card — no currency spread and no foreign-currency fee added by your bank on every cycle.
Support in your language and your hours
The dashboard and mobile app are fully Arabic, and support answers in Arabic over WhatsApp and email, with legal documents in Arabic.
How to move from Wati to TCHAT
Moving costs you neither your number nor your templates — both live in your Meta account, not with the platform.
Export what you want to keep
Contacts and conversation history from the Wati dashboard. Conversation history stays with the platform that held it, so export before you cancel.
Detach the number from their account
Your number is registered in your own Meta business account, not with Wati, so you detach it from them and keep ownership throughout.
Register with TCHAT and connect the same number
Through Meta's own window in your settings. Your approved templates follow the Meta account, so you find them as they were — no re-approval.
Connect your store and start
One click from settings; it imports your customers and orders, and you launch your first campaign from your dashboard.
