WhatsApp Business app vs WhatsApp Business API

Which one fits your business, what each costs, and when it is time to move up.

The app

Great for one person answering a few chats from a phone. Limited automation and one device.

The API

Built for teams and automation: multiple agents, approved templates, and flows that reply without anyone typing.

Which to choose

If you answer more than a few dozen enquiries a week, or want automated follow-ups, choose the API. UPMYB sets it up for you.
