Why Gulf businesses choose Otobiz over AiSensy.

- AI replies come with the plan. AiSensy's AI Agent Builder is an add-on with a monthly AI message allowance.
- A UAE company stands behind your customer messaging.
- Meta bills WhatsApp fees straight to your own WhatsApp Business Account, with no prepaid wallet to top up.
- You keep the WhatsApp Business app on your number and connect it yourself with a QR code. AiSensy's support team enables coexistence for you; it is not self-serve yet.

The display name must already be approved, a number on the On-Premises API moves to the Cloud API at Meta first, and a number Meta has restricted cannot move. Past chats do not move with the number, so keep a copy from your old provider if you need them.
