How is Gupshup’s WhatsApp Customer Support Tool different from WhatsApp Business API?

Business leaders always need to keep an eye on new technologies to stay ahead of the curve and gain a competitive edge. When it comes to streamlining communications, and especially customer communications, few would argue against the popularity of WhatsApp. Almost everyone is already familiar with WhatsApp Messenger (the standard version). WhatsApp Business app certainly adds a few more features that make it an even better choice for organizations to use.

Although there is a lot to like with WhatsApp Business app, it’s still not perfect. Custom solutions like Gupshup’s Customer Support Solution are built over WhatsApp Business API and is a plug and play solution. It can help you streamline your communications even further, gain a competitive advantage, and gain benefits beyond what WhatsApp Business can offer.

Here are some of the key differences between the two business communication solutions to help you make the right choice for what you need.

WhatsApp Business

WhatsApp Business key features include:

  • It’s best suited for small businesses with few customers
  • No consent from the end-user is required
  • Send broadcast for upto 256 users at a time, including scheduled automated replies
  • Create a business profile and description
  • No charges
