- You sell on email as well as WhatsApp: AdVersAI answers and runs campaigns on both.
- You want more WhatsApp numbers in the plan: Pro includes 5; Wati charges ₹2,499 a month per extra number.
- You want Meta's WhatsApp charges billed to you directly, with nothing added on top.
- You want to approve anything risky: discounts, custom quotes and payment checks wait for you.
