A Wati alternative that stores your data in the EU
Tobachat is a Wati alternative that keeps your data in the EU and bills in euros: start free, then €29, €99 or €199 a month, with unlimited users and the AI agent on every plan. Both start from WhatsApp, with a team inbox, automations and broadcasts. They differ in who bills your messages, where your data is kept and which currency you pay in.
Where each one fits

- Instagram, Facebook, web chat, and SMS should sit in the same inbox as WhatsApp.

- You'd like Meta to bill your messages directly.
- Your data should be stored in the EU without a separate hosting contract.
- You'd rather start free than on a 7-day trial.
- You'd rather pay in euros.
