Three reasons businesses are choosing WhatsBizAPI over 360dialog
Pay Rs.9,000/year instead of Rs.51,600/year with 360dialog. That is a savings of Rs.42,600 every year. Native INR billing means no EUR forex conversion fees eating into your budget.
360dialog gives you zero UI - just raw API access. WhatsBizAPI includes a complete dashboard with chat inbox, campaign manager, contact management, template editor, and analytics. No development needed.
Free ChatGPT-4, Claude, and Gemini chatbots included. Plus a unique coexistence mode that lets you keep WhatsApp on your phone while using the API. 360dialog offers neither of these.
Stop paying premium prices for a bare API - get a complete platform instead
Go from sign-up to sending messages in 15 minutes using the visual dashboard. No coding, no developer team, no building your own frontend like 360dialog requires.
Chat inbox, campaign manager, contact management, template editor, analytics - all included. With 360dialog you would need to build or buy each of these separately.
Coexistence mode means you can test WhatsBizAPI without disconnecting 360dialog. Switch only when you are 100% satisfied - no risk, no interruption to your business.
Get help via WhatsApp, email, and phone in your timezone. 360dialog offers email-only support during German business hours - not ideal when you need urgent help in India.
Common questions about switching from 360dialog
Migration is straightforward. Sign up for a WhatsBizAPI account and connect your WhatsApp Business number (or use coexistence mode to test first). Since 360dialog is API-only with no dashboard, there is no UI data to migrate. Simply update your webhook URLs to point to WhatsBizAPI and import your contacts via CSV or the REST API. Our support team provides hands-on migration assistance at no extra charge. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Yes. WhatsBizAPI includes a full visual dashboard with a real-time chat inbox, contact management with tags and groups, campaign manager with scheduling, visual template editor with preview, analytics and reporting, and AI chatbot configuration. 360dialog is purely an API relay service with no user interface at all - you must build your own frontend or purchase a third-party tool, adding significant cost and months of development time.
Yes. WhatsBizAPI costs Rs.9,000/year (approximately $149 USD) with full access to all features including the complete dashboard, AI chatbots, campaign management, contact management, and coexistence mode. 360dialog charges EUR 49/month, which equals approximately EUR 588/year or Rs.51,600/year - and that is just for bare API access. You would need to add the cost of building or buying a dashboard, chatbot platform, campaign management tool, and contact management system separately. The total cost of 360dialog with equivalent functionality would be significantly higher.
Absolutely. WhatsBizAPI is designed for both technical and non-technical users. The visual dashboard lets you send messages, manage contacts, create campaigns, configure chatbots, and design message templates - all without writing a single line of code. 360dialog requires a development team to build any usable interface on top of their API. If you are a small business, marketing team, or anyone without in-house developers, WhatsBizAPI is the clear choice.
WhatsBizAPI provides support via WhatsApp, email, and phone - available in your timezone. 360dialog offers email-only support during German business hours (CET/CEST), which means if you have an urgent issue in Indian business hours, you may have to wait overnight for a response. With WhatsBizAPI, you can get instant help via WhatsApp chat or a direct phone call whenever you need it.
