WasenderAPI and D-API side by side
| Criteria | WasenderAPI | D-API |
|---|---|---|
| Connection type | Unofficial (QR code) | Unofficial (QR code or pairing code) and official WhatsApp API (Meta Cloud API) |
| Price for 1 number | $6.00 / month | $15.00 / month |
| Price for 10 numbers | $45.00 / month | $99.00 / month |
| Public pricing up to | 10 numbers | 50 connections ($8.75 each at 11–50) |
| Dedicated IP per number | Check with the vendor | Yes, a dedicated proxy per connection |
| Official API in the same integration | Check with the vendor | Yes, only the session type changes |
| SDKs | Node.js, Python, Laravel, n8n | Node.js; REST with Swagger for other languages |
| WhatsApp voice calls (VoIP) | Check with the vendor | Included at no extra cost (bonus) |
On price alone, WasenderAPI wins at every size it publishes. The comparison that matters is what each number costs you when something goes wrong: a banned number that takes others down with it, or a customer who needs the official API and forces a second integration.
When to choose WasenderAPI
- You run up to 10 numbers and the lowest monthly bill is the priority.
- You work in Python or Laravel and want an SDK instead of plain HTTP.
- You don't expect to need the official WhatsApp API.
When to choose D-API
- Each number belongs to a different customer. Per-instance isolation and a dedicated IP per connection mean one customer's sending habits don't hurt the others. See how to avoid bans.
- You need official and unofficial in one integration. The official WhatsApp API (Meta Cloud API) uses the same send routes on D-API. See the official WhatsApp API.
- You plan to grow past 10 numbers with published prices up to 50 connections. See pricing.
- Uptime is part of your product. 20+ servers across 3 datacenters; if a provider goes down, everything stays online. 99.9% uptime, self-healing / auto-reconnect and support in English.
Migrating from WasenderAPI to D-API
- Isolate the provider behind an internal interface with the operations you use.
- Create one D-API session per number with
POST /api/v1/sessions, asessionIdyou store in your database and awebhookUrl. - Reconnect the number by scanning the new QR code or entering a pairing code, and wait for the
connectedstatus. - Adapt the webhook receiver to the D-API envelope (
event,sessionId,data). See WhatsApp webhooks. - Disconnect the WasenderAPI session once messages flow through D-API.
D-API is a WhatsApp API built for products with many numbers. For that scenario, read WhatsApp API for SaaS, or compare with the Whapi.Cloud alternative. The 3-day free trial needs no credit card.
Frequently asked questions
Is WasenderAPI cheaper than D-API?
Yes, at list prices up to 10 numbers. WasenderAPI’s Business plan covers 10 numbers for $45.00 a month, while D-API costs $99.00 for 10 connections. D-API is priced for teams that need per-instance isolation, a dedicated IP per connection and the official WhatsApp API in the same integration, not for the lowest price per number.
Is WasenderAPI an official WhatsApp API?
No. You connect a number by scanning a QR code to link your WhatsApp account, which makes it an unofficial WhatsApp API, like the QR code connection on D-API.
What happens above 10 numbers on WasenderAPI?
Its public plans stop at 10 numbers; above that, WasenderAPI points to a partner program with custom pricing. D-API publishes prices up to 50 connections and moves to Talk to sales above that.
Do both offer a free trial?
Yes. Both offer a 3-day free trial with no credit card required.
Which SDKs are available?
WasenderAPI lists SDKs for Node.js, Python and Laravel, plus an n8n node. D-API has an official Node.js SDK and a REST API with Swagger for every other language.
