Green API is the closest thing to WABridges: a hosted, linked-device WhatsApp gateway with a REST API. Their Business plan runs $12/month per instance, and the free Developer tier is capped at 3 chats - enough to poke at the API, not enough to evaluate it. WABridges gives you a full bridge free for 7 days, then $5/month. Same category of product, less than half the price, and we refund unused days when you cancel.
One WhatsApp number, kept online, sending and receiving as much as you need. Here is what each side charges for it.
Same idea, more than double the price.
Unlimited messages, every feature on every bridge, prorated refund when you cancel.
