WATI is a WhatsApp messaging platform — shared inbox, broadcast, automation. It does not currently support the WhatsApp Business Calling API for voice calls. If you need an AI voice agent on WhatsApp, you'd combine WATI (for messaging) with a voice-capable platform like Edesy.
Yes — many customers do exactly this. WATI handles WhatsApp messaging, broadcast campaigns, and shared team inbox; Edesy handles WhatsApp voice calls on the same number. Both work via the WhatsApp Cloud API. Each can be a separate BSP integration on your WABA.
Edesy alone is sufficient. We support WhatsApp voice calls + transactional messaging (call summary, payment link, appointment confirmation). For broadcast / template campaigns / drip sequences, you'd want a dedicated messaging platform.
When messaging is your primary use case — broadcast campaigns to a large list, shared team inbox for sales/support, drip sequences. WATI's product depth on the messaging side is strong. Voice is just not their offering.
WATI: $39-99/month per inbox tier (independent of usage). Edesy: ₹4-6/min for voice (pay-as-you-go) plus per-call billing. For a high-volume voice deployment Edesy is cost-effective; for a small team using WhatsApp text broadcasts, WATI's flat fee is simpler.
Voice on WhatsApp without leaving your existing messaging stack.
