A 360dialog alternative for when you don't want to build software
360dialog sells access to the WhatsApp Business API, priced per number per month. The API has no screen of its own, so you connect it to your own software or to a partner's tool. Tobachat is that tool, with the Meta connection built in.
Where each one fits
360dialog is the better pick when
- Your developers are building WhatsApp into your own system or CRM.
- You want to choose a tool yourself from their marketplace.
- You send at very high volume: their Scale plan goes up to 1,000 messages per second.
Tobachat is the better pick when
- Your team should be working in an inbox today, without a developer.
- An AI agent should answer your customers, on every plan.
- You don't want another monthly fee for every extra number.
- You'd like to try it free first.
