Pricing, tier by tier
Wati’s sticker price is only the start. You pay per seat (Growth caps at 3 users with no way to add more; Pro adds users at ~$24/mo, Business at ~$69/mo), then WhatsApp message fees that Meta charges — which Wati passes through with roughly a 20% markup — then add-ons like the Shopify integration. Top breakdowns note a “~$99” plan realistically lands at $250–400, running 30–50% above the listed price. SYNQ AI charges one price by AI-message volume; every channel, the CRM and Sherlock are included, WhatsApp is included, and there is no per-seat charge.
Channels: WhatsApp-only vs multi-channel
Wati is a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider — a single channel. If a customer writes on Instagram, Telegram or Facebook, Wati doesn’t cover it. SYNQ AI ships Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook plus a website widget on every plan, with one agent and one memory of the customer across them. If WhatsApp is genuinely your only channel, that gap won’t matter; if it isn’t, it’s the whole decision.
AI agent vs chatbot builder
Wati is an inbox with a chatbot builder; its AI automation sits on the higher tiers. SYNQ AI is an agent that understands natural language, replies in its own words and carries the conversation to a paid invoice — the same agent across every channel. If you want a WhatsApp inbox and scripted flows, Wati is purpose-built; if you want an agent that actually sells, that’s SYNQ.
Who each one is for
Choose SYNQ AI if you…
- sell in more than just WhatsApp
- want an AI agent that closes to payment, not just a WhatsApp inbox
- want one flat price with no per-seat or message-markup surprises
- need a CRM built around the AI
Choose Wati if you…
- use WhatsApp as your ONLY channel
- want a mature, official WhatsApp BSP with deep WhatsApp features
- rely on WhatsApp templates, broadcasts and verified numbers
- are fine paying per seat and per message
Where Wati wins (honestly)
- If WhatsApp is your only channel, Wati is purpose-built for it — an official BSP with deeper WhatsApp-specific features (templates, broadcasts, number verification).
- More mature and battle-tested specifically on the WhatsApp channel.
You never touch a setting — a second AI runs and improves your agent
That’s the real difference from Wati’s single-channel inbox. There’s nothing to configure: tell SYNQ about your business, comment on its first replies, and it’s answering across every messenger from day one. From there a second AI keeps building and improving your agent — you just nudge it in plain words, even by voice from your phone.
Live from day one — nothing to configure
Describe your business and comment on the first answers — that’s the whole setup. SYNQ builds the funnel, the stage prompts and your knowledge base itself, keeps it current, and learns your managers’ style from their real dialogs.
Try it before a single real client
Run an autotest to watch how the agent handles specific situations — objections, edge cases, tricky questions — without waiting for live clients. Then fix its answers just by commenting on them.
Fix any reply right in the chat
Open a live client chat, tap the agent’s message, and see why it answered that way — then correct it, and the fix carries into every conversation from there on.
Steer it by voice, from anywhere
Send a voice note from your phone and the agent shifts the direction of a specific conversation — or reaches back out to a lead who went quiet on its own to remind them or reschedule a meeting.
Coming soon When the agent is missing a fact, it asks your managers in a work chat — you answer, and it returns to the customer and picks the conversation right back up.
