Twilio alternatives

3 other ways to reach WhatsApp, each with the one thing that changes if you move off Twilio. Ordered by how close they are to what you already have, not by anything we were paid: nothing on this site is.

If you are moving off Twilio

  1. 360dialog

    Managed API

    Flat monthly per number, from €49, with genuinely nothing added per message.

    Adds nothing per message, and charges €49 per number per month instead

    Both are managed APIs into WhatsApp.

  2. respond.io

    Managed API

    A messaging platform with seats rather than a raw API, from $79 a month, no per-message fee.

    Adds nothing per message, and charges for human seats instead

    Both are managed APIs into WhatsApp.

  3. Telnyx

    Managed API

    Advertises $0 markup on Meta's rate, and charges $0.004 per message in platform usage.

    Adds $0.004 per message on top of Meta's rate

    Both are managed APIs into WhatsApp.

Every figure here comes from the provider’s own pricing page with the date we checked it, and a provider that publishes none is recorded as publishing none rather than estimated. What Twilio costs and what the headline leaves out, or filter the whole set.
