WATI and Zyvo target automation on WhatsApp, but from different origins: one international, the other Brazilian. This direct comparison shows what each prioritizes so the SME can decide clearly.
What WATI does well
WATI is an international platform focused on the WhatsApp Business API, with an inbox for the team, broadcast campaigns, automation and a view of multiple agents. It is a good option for e-commerce, support and sales that need to organize volume and operate the API with multiple users.
Where Zyvo differentiates itself
Zyvo is Brazilian and native in Portuguese, with a generative AI agent that understands the conversation and responds 24 hours included in the plans, in addition to combining WhatsApp and Instagram and providing AI-generated content creation. The focus is on serving and selling with AI, not just broadcasting and queue organization.
Language, support and predictability
Being local, Zyvo reduces language friction, support and LGPD, and charges a fixed amount in reais per plan. For those operating in Brazil and who do not want to deal with exchange rates or an English interface, this matters in daily operations.
When to choose each
Choose WATI if your focus is to operate the WhatsApp API with broadcasts and a large team of agents, with processes already defined. Choose Zyvo if you are a Brazilian SME and want AI in Portuguese, WhatsApp plus Instagram and content, with a fixed price.

Zyvo pricing
Zyvo has no fixed monthly plan fee: you pay per outcome. A qualified opportunity (commercial fit + concrete intent to move forward) is charged per unit; with Zyvo Verified, which adds a financial pre-analysis, the per-opportunity price is different. Leads without fit or intent are not charged. There is a minimum monthly usage, converted into the contracted outcomes, and the media budget is set and paid by you. Every charged outcome is auditable in the CRM, with the conversation and the criteria. No lock-in, no penalty. Current prices at zyvo.marketing/#preco.
