Wati vs SOBERAN: the honest LATAM comparison
Wati is WhatsApp Business API platform with no-code chatbot builder. SOBERAN layers an autonomous agent that executes in your ERP/CRM. If you only need messaging, Wati is enough. If you need the agent to collect, post, and reconcile without a human in the loop, SOBERAN wins.

FAQ
Does SOBERAN fully replace Wati?
It depends on your current scope. SOBERAN can replace Wati when the goal is to operate CRM, ERP, Contact Center, and agent execution in one layer. It can also coexist when you need to keep existing systems during migration.
How long does migration take?
A first workflow can often be configured in about 30 days, subject to system access, policy review, data, channels, testing, and approvals. Coexistence without replacing the current platform is also possible.
Do I keep my WhatsApp Business number?
Yes, if WhatsApp is part of the scope. We can also connect voice, email, chat, CRM, and ERP depending on the workflow you want to automate.
Is SOBERAN LATAM-compliant?
SOBERAN supports market-specific consent, contact windows, channels, scripts, suppressions, approvals, and audit controls. Each company must validate its workflow with qualified legal and compliance counsel; the platform does not replace that review.
What is the total cost?
Custom quote by conversation volume, modules, and agents. Usually less than separate messaging + automation + CRM tools combined.
Does it work alongside SAP, NetSuite, or Odoo?
Yes. SOBERAN runs in coexistence mode on top of your existing ERP, no forced migration.
