FAQ
WATI alternative — questions answered
Is ColviQ a good WATI alternative?
It depends on the job. WATI is built for broadcasts, chatbots and a shared support inbox over the WhatsApp Business API. ColviQ is built to work a sales pipeline — capture leads, set follow-ups and close — without API onboarding. If you want a simple pipeline rather than a marketing/support suite, ColviQ is the lighter fit.
Does ColviQ use the WhatsApp Business API like WATI?
No. ColviQ wraps a pipeline around the WhatsApp conversations you already have, so there's no API approval, number migration or per-message pricing to set up.
Can ColviQ send broadcast campaigns?
No — broadcasts and chatbots are WATI's strength, not ColviQ's. ColviQ focuses on the sales pipeline: lead capture, statuses, follow-ups and team handoffs.

Pricing models differ — WATI bills around the API and per-agent broadcast usage, ColviQ is a simple plan for small teams. Book a demo for current ColviQ early-access pricing and compare against your WATI quote.
