trtWhats as a Wati alternative
Wati is a widely used WhatsApp Business API platform built around a shared team inbox, broadcasts and no-code automations, billed in US dollars. It serves a global, mostly English-speaking market. trtWhats covers the same core jobs but is priced in local currency and built for Moroccan and Gulf businesses.
