Wati Growth at $69 a month includes three users and does not sell extra ones. Growing the team means jumping to Pro at $149 and paying per seat after that.
AI agentsAdd-on
Wati includes a small pool of AI Co-pilot credits and sells its Astra AI agents separately. In Invent the agent is the product and its usage is part of the plan.

The fine print
All from Wati's own pricing page, Aug 5, 2026.Three seats, then a plan jumpGrowth at $69 includes three users and sells no additional ones, so a fourth teammate forces Pro at $149, where extra users cost $39 each. Team growth is a pricing event, not a settings change.
AI credits run outThe entry plan ships 250 AI Co-pilot credits a month, and the Astra AI agents are quoted separately. An agent that answers your customers all month is not what the included credits buy.
Messages are billed on a separate rate cardMarketing, utility and authentication messages each carry their own rate, published in a rate card rather than on the pricing page. The subscription is the floor, not the bill.
One channel on the entry planGrowth connects a single channel. If you answer on Instagram and WhatsApp, that is a higher plan, while Invent treats every channel as one conversation stream.

Common questions
How much does Wati cost?
On monthly billing Growth is $69, Pro is $149 and Business is $349. Extra users, AI agents and per-message charges are added on top. Annual billing is roughly 25% cheaper.
Does Wati include an AI agent?
Wati includes a monthly allowance of AI Co-pilot credits for assisting agents, and sells its Astra AI agents as a separately priced add-on. Invent includes the agent in the plan.
Which is better, Invent or Wati?
Wati is a reasonable pick for a team of three that only needs WhatsApp. Invent fits teams that want more seats, more channels, a real CRM and an AI agent that answers on its own, without a plan jump for each.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. Your number stays yours. We help you move it to Invent during the migration call and your templates and history come with you.
How do I migrate from Wati?
Book a short migration call. We move the number, rebuild your chatbot flows as agent instructions and import contacts and templates, then you test before switching.
