Comparison FAQ

Can I move from MsgFlash to Twilio later?

Yes, but you will need to re-validate your number with Meta and recreate your templates. Plan for a 2-week transition.

Is MsgFlash illegal?

No. We use the WhatsApp Web protocol. It is not official, but it is not illegal. It is a technical gray area that WhatsApp currently tolerates.

Why does 360dialog cost €49 / month without a UI?

Because they pay Meta to be an official BSP. You are paying for certification, not the technology.
