Three reasons businesses are switching from Twilio to WhatsBizAPI
Pay Rs.9,000/year instead of $180+ with Twilio. Native INR billing means no foreign exchange fees or surprise USD charges on your credit card.
ChatGPT-4, Claude, and Gemini chatbots included at no extra cost. Twilio requires you to build and host your own chatbot infrastructure separately.
Keep WhatsApp on your phone while using the API. Twilio requires you to give up phone access when connecting your number to their API.

Common questions about switching from Twilio
Migration is straightforward. Sign up for a WhatsBizAPI account, connect your WhatsApp Business number (or use coexistence mode with your existing number), and configure your webhook URLs to point to WhatsBizAPI. Export your contacts from Twilio as CSV and import them into WhatsBizAPI. Our support team provides hands-on migration assistance at no extra charge. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
No. WhatsBizAPI supports bulk contact import via CSV files. Export your contacts from Twilio, then import them into WhatsBizAPI with all associated data. Contact tags, groups, and custom fields can all be preserved during migration. You can also use the REST API for programmatic contact migration.
The core setup takes about 15 minutes: account creation, number connection, and webhook configuration. Contact import depends on your list size but is usually instant for up to 100,000 contacts. With coexistence mode, there is zero downtime as you can run both platforms simultaneously during the transition period.
Yes. WhatsBizAPI costs Rs.9,000/year (approximately $149 USD) with full access to all features including AI chatbots, webhook relay, campaign management, and coexistence mode. Twilio charges a minimum of approximately $180/year in base fees, plus per-message charges, plus additional costs for features like chatbot infrastructure. WhatsBizAPI also offers native INR pricing, saving you foreign exchange conversion fees of 2-4% charged by most Indian banks.
