WA.Expert vs 360dialog

360dialog is a German WhatsApp BSP built for developers: three monthly per-number plans, Meta's message fees billed on top, and the API is the product, not a full platform.

The Honest Take

Where each one fits

360dialog is one of the original WhatsApp Business Solution Providers, and it is built for a specific kind of buyer: a developer team that wants direct, unopinionated API access and is happy to build the chatbot, inbox, and CRM layer themselves, or to buy those separately from a partner. Its three plans (Regular, Premium, Scale) are priced in euros per WhatsApp number per month, with Meta's own message fees added on top and not included in the platform fee.

For an Indian SMB, two things get in the way. First, the pricing is in euros, so the rupee cost moves with the exchange rate the same way WATI's dollar pricing does. Second, the plan itself is API access, not a working platform: there is no bundled no-code chatbot builder or team inbox in the way WA.Expert includes one, so a business without an in-house developer needs to buy or build that layer separately, which is its own line item and its own project.

WA.Expert is priced in rupees, is one flat plan with the chatbot builder, automation, team inbox, and Mini CRM already in it, and passes Meta's message rate through at zero markup the same way 360dialog says it aims to. If you already have a developer team and want raw API access with a partner ecosystem, 360dialog is a reasonable pick. If you want a working platform on day one without hiring for it, WA.Expert gets there faster.

Why Businesses Switch

Common reasons teams move to WA.Expert

Euro-denominated pricing made the rupee bill move with the exchange rate every month.
The plan was API access only, so a chatbot builder and team inbox had to be sourced separately.
Support ran on European hours, not Indian business hours.
One flat rupee plan with the platform already built in replaced a stack of separate purchases.
FAQ

WA.Expert vs 360dialog, answered

Is 360dialog cheaper than WA.Expert?
+
It depends what you compare. 360dialog's Regular plan at €49/month (roughly ₹4,500 at typical rates) looks close to WA.Expert's ₹599, but that euro figure is API access only — you still need to build or buy a chatbot builder, inbox, and CRM on top of it. WA.Expert's ₹599 already includes all of that.
Does 360dialog charge Meta's rate with no markup?
+
360dialog's own pricing page lists Meta's messaging fees as an addition to the plan fee but does not state whether a markup is applied on top of Meta's rate. WA.Expert states this explicitly: zero markup, Meta's published rate, checkable on our own pricing calculator.
Why does 360dialog price in euros?
+
360dialog is a German company built primarily for a European and global developer audience. An Indian business paying in euros carries the same currency-conversion uncertainty as paying WATI in dollars.
Is 360dialog a bad choice?
+
No, for the right buyer. A team with its own developers that wants direct BSP-level API access and plans to build a custom experience on top of it is exactly who 360dialog is built for. WA.Expert is built for a business that wants the chatbot, inbox, and CRM already working without hiring for it.
