WACRM Growth is $75/month flat for 5 seats; Landbot has no WhatsApp number on Free or Starter at any price, and its cheapest real-WhatsApp option is Professional WA at €160/month or Professional (€80/month) plus a +€100/month WhatsApp add-on, checked 2026-11-03.
WACRM is 0% markup, paid directly to Meta; Landbot bills Marketing, Utility and Authentication template messages at "Meta cost* + €0.05 per message" and Service Messages at "Meta fee + €0.003" above 10,000/month — stated only for its Professional WA tier (Business shows "custom" in both rows, not a number), since WhatsApp isn't available below Professional WA.
Landbot's pricing page does not mention coexistence anywhere in its plan cards, comparison table or FAQ; WACRM states it explicitly on every plan.
Both offer a 14-day free trial, no card required; Landbot's trial is available on Starter, Professional and Professional WA, and the page's FAQ states "You're automatically moved to Free, the free plan" when it ends (Business shows "custom" in the trial row instead). Landbot also has a genuine €0/month free-forever plan, but only for its web chatbot with a WhatsApp test number, not a real WhatsApp number.
WACRM vs Landbot: price, markup and coexistence
| WACRM | Landbot | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per tier | Starter: $29/month · Growth: $75/month · Pro: $179/month · Agency: $299/month | Free: €0/month, free forever, no card required. 100 chats/month included (24h, all channels), 1 seat, no AI chats. No real WhatsApp number — the page offers only "Try WhatsApp with our test number." · Starter: €32/month billed annually (€40/month billed monthly), 500 chats/month included (+€0.05/extra chat), 2 seats, 100 AI chats/month included. WhatsApp with your own number is listed as "from Professional" — not available on Starter at any price. · Professional: €80/month billed annually (€100/month billed monthly), 2,500 chats/month included, 3 seats, 300 AI chats/month included. No WhatsApp number is included; the page offers "Add WhatsApp +€100/mo" as a paid add-on on top. · Professional WA: €160/month as shown in Landbot's comparison table (the page does not state whether this price is billed monthly or annually), same 2,500 chats/month and 3 seats as Professional but 500 AI chats/month (versus Professional's 300), and bundles 1 WhatsApp number in the price (additional WhatsApp numbers +€100/month each). · Business: Custom pricing agreed by contract, "from €400/month." 1 WhatsApp number included, from 5 seats, custom chat and AI-chat volume. |
| WhatsApp message markup | Paid directly to Meta, at Meta’s own price — 0% markup | WhatsApp Service Messages (replies inside the 24-hour customer-service window) are free up to 1,000/month, "only Meta fee" from 1,001-10,000/month, then "Meta fee + €0.003" per message above 10,000 — the page states these numbers only for the Professional WA column of its comparison table; Business shows "custom" in this row instead of a number, and Free, Starter and Professional show "—" because none of them carries a WhatsApp number. Other WhatsApp messages (Marketing, Utility or Authentication templates) are billed at "Meta cost* + €0.05 per Mkt, Utility or Auth message" — again stated only for the Professional WA column, with Business showing "custom" — with the page's own footnote "*Fees may vary according to the Meta Price list." |
| Free tier / trial | 14-day free trial, no card required. No free-forever plan. | A genuine Free plan exists at €0/month, "free forever" ("No card, never expires" per the page). Starter, Professional and Professional WA each show a checkmark in the 14-day trial row of the comparison table; the page's FAQ states that when the trial ends, "You're automatically moved to Free, the free plan. No charge — we don't ask for a card to try it. Your agents and your data stay put." Business shows "custom" in the trial row, not a checkmark and not a blank — the page does not say whether that custom arrangement includes a trial. |
| Coexistence (WhatsApp app keeps working on the phone) | Yes, on every plan. | Not stated on the pricing page — no mention of coexistence anywhere in the page's plan cards, comparison table or FAQ. |
| Channels | WhatsApp only. | Not WhatsApp only: the comparison table's own row is labelled "Channels: web, Messenger & API chat," with Free limited to "just web," Starter "no API," and Professional/Professional WA/Business getting all three. WhatsApp itself is a separate, additionally-priced channel from the Professional tier up — it is not included on Free or Starter at any price. |

When Landbot is the better choice
- You want a genuine free-forever plan to start building before paying anything: Landbot's Free plan is €0/month, "free forever," no card required; WACRM has no free-forever plan, only a 14-day trial. Landbot's Free plan only connects a WhatsApp test number, not a real one, though.
- You want a visual drag-and-drop bot builder with A/B testing from your first paid plan: Landbot's Starter plan (€32/month billed annually) includes "Visual builder, templates & A/B" and 100 AI chats/month; WACRM's Flow builder equivalent is still early access, on the Pro plan only.
- You need HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho or Google Sheets integrations today: Landbot's Professional plan (€80/month billed annually) includes them as "Premium integrations"; WACRM's API + webhooks is still planned, not live yet.

For a real WhatsApp number, yes: WACRM Growth is $75/month flat for 5 seats.

Does WACRM replace Landbot's visual bot builder and A/B testing?

WACRM has no visual flow builder available yet — its Flow builder equivalent is still early access, on the Pro plan only.
When is Landbot the better choice?
