Question 1

Is Tanvik cheaper than Wati?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tanvik's Growth plan starts at Rs 2,999 per month and Pro at Rs 4,999 per month, both in INR with no hidden conversion fees. Wati's plans are USD-denominated, which adds 10-15% cost for Indian businesses due to currency conversion and GST on foreign payments.

Question 2

What is the main difference between Tanvik and Wati?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is AI-first design and India-specific features. Tanvik includes a built-in AI sales agent that qualifies leads and runs follow-ups automatically. Wati is primarily a shared inbox and broadcast tool. Tanvik also includes SMS and RCS channels, transparent INR pricing, and an auto-refund on failed message deliveries.

Question 3

Can I switch from Wati to Tanvik?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your WhatsApp Business number can be migrated to Tanvik. The Tanvik onboarding team handles the full migration including number porting, template re-submission and contact import. Most migrations complete within 24-48 hours.
