    Gupshup vs WATI: WhatsApp BSPs Head-to-Head (2026)

    Gupshup and WATI both sell on Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform but on different lanes: an API-first conversational-messaging gateway with an enterprise and banking footprint versus a no-code shared inbox on published per-user tiers. The two scored on API depth, template tooling, chatbot builders, pricing model, India and SEA localization, channel breadth, and the AI agent surface, with a by-team verdict and migration notes.
