The short answer

A broad platform or KobiChat?

Choose KobiChat if you run a small or medium-sized business and want to get business WhatsApp right - with telephony (KobiVoice) and CRM (Kobi CRM) from the same suite, at a fixed price from € 75 per month. Choose a broad omnichannel platform if you have a large service team that wants to bring ten or more channels, such as email and social, together in one inbox, and you accept the price tag that comes with it.

Comparison

KobiChat vs a broad platform: an honest side-by-side

Price

A fixed price, usage you can see upfront

Broad platforms often charge per user and per conversation - so the bill grows as you get busier. KobiChat has three fixed plans: Basic € 75, Standard € 125 and Pro € 180 per month (excluding VAT). You pay for messages and AI conversations from your credit balance, at rates you can see upfront - so you stay in control.

AI assistant in every plan, € 0.30 per conversation
Starting from € 75/month, no annual contract
Cancel any month, hosted in the EU (GDPR)

Honest advice

When is a broad platform the better choice?

We won’t pretend KobiChat is the answer for everyone. Do you have a large service team juggling email, live chat, social and WhatsApp at the same time every day, and do you want all of it in one inbox with advanced routing? That’s where broad omnichannel platforms excel. If you run a small or medium-sized business that wants to get WhatsApp right - and wants telephony and a CRM alongside it without a second supplier - then KobiChat is more affordable, simpler and more complete.

Frequently asked

Business WhatsApp software - your questions answered

What should you look for in business WhatsApp software?

Look for the official Meta WhatsApp Business API, a team inbox for your whole team, a predictable pricing model and EU hosting (GDPR). Broad omnichannel platforms bundle many separate channels into one inbox for larger service teams. KobiChat is your entry into the KobiTech suite: a WhatsApp team inbox plus business telephony (KobiVoice) and CRM (Kobi CRM) from a single supplier based in the Netherlands, at a fixed monthly price with transparent rates for messages and AI conversations.

Is KobiChat cheaper than a broad WhatsApp platform?

For small and medium-sized businesses, usually yes - without compromising on quality. KobiChat has a fixed monthly price from € 75 excluding VAT; WhatsApp messages and AI conversations come out of your credit, at rates you see in advance. Broad platforms often charge per user and per conversation, with an entry price of € 89 to 349 per month, AI often as a separate surcharge and the lowest price only with an annual contract (as of September 2026).

Which business WhatsApp software is better for SMEs?

For small and medium-sized businesses and freelancers, KobiChat is usually the better choice: it is simpler and more affordable, and you get chat, telephony and CRM from one suite with one invoice. Broad omnichannel platforms are stronger for large service teams that want to combine many separate channels in one inbox every day.

Does KobiChat also do telephony and a CRM, like an all-in-one package?

Yes. KobiChat is part of the KobiTech suite. Alongside the WhatsApp team inbox, KobiVoice gives you full business telephony (your own numbers, call menus, an app) and Kobi CRM gives you customer management, quotes and invoices. Everything is linked together, with one login and one invoice.

Can I bring my WhatsApp number over from my current provider?

Yes. Your business WhatsApp number moves over through Meta’s official number migration. You keep the same number your customers already know and connect it to your own WhatsApp Business account within KobiChat. We guide you through the switch personally, with support from our team in the Netherlands.

Does KobiChat also support email and social?

KobiChat has a full team inbox for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, with chatbot flows and broadcasts. Email as an inbox channel is on the roadmap. You can already handle customer email, quotes and invoices through Kobi CRM within the same suite.
