SendFromChat vs Wati

Wati is one of the best-known WhatsApp Business platforms: a shared team inbox, broadcasts, chatbots and integrations, aimed at support and sales teams. SendFromChat covers the same core jobs with a different angle — it's built to be operated from an AI assistant as well as a dashboard, and priced flat instead of per seat.

Choose Wati if…

• You have a support or sales team of several agents who need assignment rules, roles and reporting in a shared inbox.
• You rely on ready-made integrations with e-commerce and CRM tools.
• You prefer a traditional dashboard workflow and don't plan to use AI assistants.

Choose SendFromChat if…

• You're a founder, developer, agency or small team and want to run WhatsApp from the assistant you already use.
• You want every feature on every plan without paying per seat.
• You care about price: $19–$49/month covers most small businesses.
• You want an MCP endpoint so your own agents and scripts can use WhatsApp too.

The difference in daily use

With a classic platform you open the dashboard, find the broadcast screen, upload a list, map columns, pick a template, and schedule. With SendFromChat you can do exactly that — or tell Claude "send the April offer to everyone in the spring list who hasn't opted out, using their first name", check the preview it shows you, and confirm.
