WhatsApp API comparison
ZapZap vs WasenderApi: price per number, trial and risk
WasenderApi and ZapZap sell the same kind of product: a REST API to connect a WhatsApp number and send messages, billed per number. The differences are currency, price, support language and the modules that come ready. The WasenderApi data comes from its public page, read on 11/11/2026, and the page does not say whether the service is official or unofficial. Where it is the better pick for your case, we say so.

Choose ZapZap if
Choose ZapZap if you want to pay in reais, have support and documentation in Portuguese, and use AI, funnel, warm-up and group modules that are already built. Accept the risk of an unofficial solution.
Prefer WasenderApi if
Choose WasenderApi if you accept paying in dollars, want to start with a single number on a cheap plan and value the Node.js, Python and Laravel SDKs. If you require an official channel, neither fits: use Meta's official API.
Frequently asked questions
Is WasenderApi an official API?
Its public page does not say whether it is official or unofficial (read on 11/11/2026). ZapZap is unofficial and says so plainly: it breaks WhatsApp's terms, and the number can be limited or banned.
Which one is cheaper?
Per number, WasenderApi shows $6 a month on the 1-number plan and $4.50 per number on the 10-number plan, as of 11/11/2026. ZapZap charges R$15 per active number per month. Because the page does not name the currency and exchange rates move, compare on the day you buy, and weigh what each one includes.
Does WasenderApi limit messages?
The page says messages are unlimited and there is no daily cap (read on 11/11/2026), but it does not state technical limits. ZapZap has no per-message fee, and the per-instance queue spaces out sends to protect the number.
Can I migrate from WasenderApi to ZapZap?
Yes. You swap the send calls and the webhook reader, and reconnect the number by QR code. Your system's conversation history does not migrate on its own.
Does ZapZap have a free plan?
There is no permanent free plan. There is a welcome credit when you verify your phone, one per phone and with no deposit, depending on the current campaign.
