Your number is safe with the official API.
Whapi connects to WhatsApp through Meta's official Business API. This is the same infrastructure used by the world's largest companies. Unlike unofficial providers that use screen-scraping or browser automation, the official API is sanctioned by Meta. Your number cannot be banned for normal business messaging.
Official Meta partnership
Whapi uses Meta's official WhatsApp Business API, the only sanctioned method for business messaging at scale. Every message is sent through Meta's own infrastructure.
Low ban risk
Numbers connected through the official API are not subject to the automated bans that plague unofficial methods. Your business number remains active and reliable.

Pay Meta directly. We never touch your conversation fees.
With Whapi, you connect your own Meta WhatsApp Business account. Conversation fees are charged by Meta at their published rates. Whapi does not add any per-message markup. You only pay our flat monthly subscription. Many competitors charge 2x to 5x markup on top of Meta's fees, which adds up fast at scale.
Pay Meta directly
Your Meta WhatsApp Business account is billed directly by Meta. You see exactly what you are paying per conversation at Meta's published rates. No middleman markup.
Competitors mark up 2x to 5x
Most WhatsApp providers charge per message on top of Meta's fees. A conversation that costs Meta $0.05 might cost you $0.10 to $0.25 through a competitor. With Whapi, it costs $0.05.
Simple flat subscription
Whapi charges a flat monthly subscription fee. Free plan available. No per-message charges, no hidden fees, no surprises on your bill. You always know exactly what you are paying.
