A comprehensive comparison revealing why 360dialog's developer-first approach creates unnecessary complexity for Pakistani businesses.

WAB2C wins in 12 out of 12 categories for Pakistani businesses
360dialog is a German WhatsApp Business API provider targeting developers and technical teams. While their API-first approach works for European tech companies with dedicated development resources, it creates significant barriers for Pakistani businesses. From requiring developers to build custom UIs, to EUR pricing volatility, to zero understanding of Pakistan's market needs, 360dialog is fundamentally misaligned with Pakistani business reality.
WAB2C provides a complete, business-ready platform with no-code tools, built-in UI, Pakistan-specific features, transparent PKR pricing, and local support that understands your market.
