Ultramsg charges $39/month per instance for a hosted linked-device WhatsApp API - the same technology approach as WABridges at nearly 8x the price. Their trial is 3 days capped at 100 messages/day, and their FAQ is blunt about cancellations: "the refund option is not available." WABridges is $5/month, the trial is 7 days with no card, and unused days are refunded automatically the moment you cancel.
One WhatsApp number, kept online, sending and receiving as much as you need. Here is what each side charges for it.
Eight times the price, zero refunds.
Unlimited messages, every feature on every bridge, prorated refund when you cancel.
