The comparison that matters

Every tier is cheaper or more capable than Green API — often both.

Credential swap

Pricing reflects Green API's public per-instance Developer tier as of April 2026. Green API is a trademark of its respective owner.

Migration is a credential swap

Change the host. Keep your code.

Ten minutes, not a weekend. No code rewrite, no data export, no migration consultants. Here's the same request, side-by-side.

Why teams switch

The three reasons we keep hearing.

Real testimonial slots — filling with beta customers as they ship.

Pain · Disconnections
Instances would drop mid-campaign. We'd find out from customers, not dashboards.
With Blueticks
99.9% uptime on Pro. Real callbacks. Real status page.
— Awaiting beta testimonial
Pain · Per-instance pricing
Three phone numbers on Green API = $36/month. Adding the fourth was a budget call.
With Blueticks
Flat pricing. Run as many numbers as you need. $9 is $9.
— Awaiting beta testimonial
Pain · Build your own everything
Scheduler, campaign engine, AI agent — we wrote glue code for weeks.
With Blueticks
All four are native endpoints. Native MCP server. Zero glue.

Why teams switch

Three things Green API won't give you.

01

Complete, not piecemeal

Most WhatsApp APIs give you send and receive. Blueticks gives you scheduling, campaigns, AI Agent, contact management, and MCP — one API, one bill, zero extra infrastructure.

/messages/campaigns/schedule/agent/mcp
02

Proven at scale

The same engine that's moved 6M+ messages for 200K+ teams since 2017. Production-grade infrastructure with real uptime commitments.

03

AI-native from day one

The only WhatsApp API with a native MCP server. Plug directly into Claude, ChatGPT, or any agentic workflow. Ship AI-powered conversations in hours.

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Still stuck? Email support →

No. Like Green API and most SMB-focused WhatsApp tools, we're an unofficial protocol implementation — that's how we keep the entry price at $9/month. If you need the official Meta Cloud API, we'll point you at it honestly.
Smart throttling, warm-up ramps for new numbers, and pattern detection on first-contact messages. We cap velocity against WhatsApp's own rate limits automatically. 200,000+ accounts deep, our ban rate is a fraction of a percent — almost always tied to accounts that ignored the yellow warnings.
Yes. EU-based processing (Cyprus), signed DPA on request, SOC 2-aligned infrastructure. Extension data stays in your browser; API data is stored only as long as you configure. We never train AI models on your customer conversations.
Most migrations are a credential swap and two line changes. See green-api.dev for the full endpoint mapping — we've documented the translation for every Green API method.
60 messages/minute on Basic, 120 on Standard, 300 on Pro — per phone number. Campaign sends use smart throttling that ramps up warmup for new numbers. Higher limits available on contract.
Yes. 3-day free trial on every paid tier, no credit card required. Full API access during the trial — you can fully integrate and ship before you're billed.
One credit = one AI-generated response. Tier credits (50 / 100 / 200 per month) cover most SMB volumes. Overage billed at $0.02/credit. Or bring your own LLM over MCP and pay only your own model costs.
Yes on the open-core pieces (SDKs, local scheduler), no on the full stack. For air-gapped or regulated environments, contact sales about a dedicated instance.
