Frequently Asked Questions

ODIV Engage starts at ₹70/month for Quick Start plans and ₹999/month for the Starter plan. WATI starts at $59/month (~₹4,900). ODIV is approximately 5x more affordable at comparable feature levels, and keeps the lowest message markup in India — roughly +8% on utility and +12% on marketing versus WATI's ~20% flat markup on Meta rates.
Yes. You can port your existing WhatsApp Business API number from WATI to ODIV. The process is handled through Meta's official channel migration flow. ODIV's support team guides you through every step — typically completed within 24-48 hours.
Yes. While WATI is WhatsApp-only, ODIV Engage supports WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DM, and Google RCS — all from a single unified inbox. This means you can manage all customer conversations in one place.
Yes. ODIV uses the official Meta Cloud API — the same infrastructure Meta recommends. This means official template management, Meta quality ratings, verified sender status, and full compliance.
Message markup is the extra fee your BSP charges on top of Meta's per-message cost. WATI charges ~20% extra. At scale — say 100,000 messages/month — that 20% adds up to thousands in extra costs. ODIV keeps the lowest markup in India: roughly +8% on utility and +12% on marketing, published openly.
ODIV Inbox is a Progressive Web App — it installs in two taps from any browser on iOS, Android, Web, and Desktop. Unlike WATI's native-app-only mobile experience, there's no App Store review wait, no MDM deployment, and no separate download for desktop — your agents use the same app on every device. Push notifications, offline access, and scheduled sends all work out of the box. See the setup guide →
