Official Business API vs personal-number automation
With the official Business API you pay per message, use Meta-approved templates and have to clear a business onboarding process. It's built for high volumes, but it's costly and rigid if you just want to automate your own WhatsApp.
Whaiz links your personal number as an additional device (like WhatsApp Web) and puts a REST API and a conversational AI on top. No Meta approval, no templates, no per-message fees: you pay a flat rate and automate via code or let the AI reply. The phone has to reconnect periodically, like WhatsApp Web.

Frequently asked questions
Can you automate WhatsApp without the Business API?
Yes: Whaiz links your personal number as an additional device and offers a REST API and a conversational AI, with no Meta approval and no templates. It doesn't use the official Business API.
How is it different from the Business API?
The Business API has per-message costs, approved templates and business onboarding. Whaiz has a flat rate, no templates and QR activation; it's built for automating your own number, not for enterprise volumes.
Do I need to know how to code?
No for AI automatic replies (configured from the interface). Yes if you want to send from code: in that case you use the REST API with the ready-made snippets in 11 languages.
Is automating a personal number risky?
Any automation on WhatsApp carries some risk. Whaiz includes an anti-ban that spaces out sends, but no service can guarantee a complete absence of bans: follow best practices.
