Frequently Asked Questions

What does WATI have that AurixCRM doesn't?
WATI has a more extensive library of pre-built chatbot templates and a longer track record in the market. For teams whose primary need is WhatsApp support ticketing with pre-built flows, WATI's templates save initial setup time.
Is AurixCRM cheaper than WATI?
WATI starts at $49/month for up to 5 agents. AurixCRM Pro is ₹199/user/month (~$2.50), making it substantially more affordable for growing teams — especially when you factor in that AurixCRM includes CRM, AI, and CAPI that WATI doesn't.
Can I migrate from WATI to AurixCRM?
Yes. Contact data and conversation history can be exported from WATI and imported into AurixCRM. Your WhatsApp Business API number is portable — AurixCRM's onboarding team can assist with the migration.
Does AurixCRM have a WATI-equivalent knowledge base chatbot?
Yes. AurixCRM's Flow Builder supports FAQ-style chatbot flows with keyword routing. The AI agent can also handle open-ended queries using your custom knowledge base — going beyond rigid FAQ trees.
