Why are Saudi businesses looking for an alternative?

Billed in dollars

Exchange rates, card fees and tax mean your bill changes every month.

Per-user pricing

As your team grows, so does your bill, even if your message volume stays the same.

AI only on higher plans

The AI replies you need are only in a more expensive plan.

English-only support and interface

Your team works in English, but your customers write in Saudi Arabic.

Questions to ask before you start

Can I move my number from my current platform?

Yes. We move your number from your current provider to Watsio, and our team plans the steps and timing with you so your conversations aren't interrupted.

What about my approved templates?

We help you recreate your templates and submit them in Watsio. They go through Meta review again, and we help you write them to reduce rejections.

Is there really no cap on messages?

Yes. Watsio doesn't limit the number of messages on any plan. Meta's message fees are separate: Meta bills you directly, and we add zero margin.

Is the price per user?

No, the price is per account. Each plan includes a number of team members (3, 6, 15 or unlimited).

What does the free trial include?

14 days, all features, no card. If you subscribe and don't see a difference, you get a full refund of your subscription within 30 days of your first payment.
