ECODrIx (ERIX) vs Wati

Wati (by Clare.ai) is a mature WhatsApp Business API platform: a shared team inbox, broadcasts and drip campaigns, no-code chatbots, its Astra AI agent across chat and voice, WhatsApp Business Calling, and Instagram, Messenger and TikTok in the same inbox. For deals and pipeline it syncs with HubSpot, Zoho CRM or Salesforce. ERIX matches the official-API messaging and builds in the system around it: a pipeline, bookings, automations and an AI agent that answers from your own information, in one platform priced in rupees.

What ERIX adds around the messaging

Every provider here uses Meta's official WhatsApp platform. These are the parts ERIX builds around it, all on one contact record.

  • One inbox for WhatsApp and phone calls
  • An AI agent that answers from your own price list and hours; refunds, complaints and medical questions go to a person
  • A pipeline with stages for your trade, and bookings in Indian time with no double bookings
  • Your own WhatsApp account, so Meta bills you directly and ERIX adds no markup
  • Automations that wait for a reply, ask for approval before money or a customer message goes out, and keep a run history on each contact

Before you switch

  • List the tools you pay for today next to WhatsApp, such as a CRM, invoicing and a booking app.
  • Note which WhatsApp templates you rely on; they need WhatsApp's approval on your number.
  • Plan the number move with your current provider, since a number works with one provider at a time.

What stays the same

Your WhatsApp Business number, Meta's message charges and the 24-hour reply window work the same way on every official provider. What changes is what you can do with each conversation after it arrives.

ERIX and Wati: common questions

ERIX uses the same official Meta WhatsApp platform as Wati, and adds a pipeline, bookings, automations and an AI agent that answers from your own information. During the pilot, our team sets up each workspace and agrees pricing with you. Meta bills WhatsApp messages to you directly, with no ERIX markup.

Wati covers the conversation side well: team inbox, broadcasts, chatbots and AI agents. For deals and pipeline it connects to HubSpot, Zoho CRM or Salesforce, and its sales page lists funnel tracking as coming soon. ERIX includes the pipeline and bookings in the same platform.

Both use Meta's official WhatsApp platform, so the messaging itself and Meta's charges are comparable. The difference is what's built around it: ERIX includes the CRM and automation.

Since 1 July 2025, Meta charges per delivered template message, by category (marketing, utility or authentication) and by the recipient's country. Replies inside the 24-hour customer service window are free, and so are utility templates sent while that window is open. Meta changes India's rates (marketing went up on 1 January 2026), so check Meta's current rate card. With ERIX you connect your own WhatsApp Business account, so Meta bills you directly and ERIX adds no markup. With any provider, ask how Meta's charges reach your bill.

Yes. Import your contacts into ERIX CRM, and connect your own WhatsApp Business account in ERIX Connect through Meta's signup. A number works with one provider at a time, so plan the move with Wati. ERIX is letting businesses in from its early-access list.
