24sessions, from MessageBird vs. WATI.io

24sessions is perfect for appointments such as coaching (my use case) where you want them to be able to go into your booking calendar, choose a time and schedule the appointment - or to schedule it from your end. They they get an email on creation and reminder email. I find it not helpful or at least, not at all intuitive, for setting up a host created meeting immediately. You can create it so you can be live at anytime, but host created isn't as any to set up

If your userbase is small. Want to set up and start using the system quickly, then go for Wati.io. Easy setup, integration with google sheets, chrome extension, Zapier, Woo-Commerce, an option of the no-code chatbot, etc. will ease up too much work. Pricing-wise, it's costlier than other tools. Also, it's for WhatsApp only. IF you want to do the same with Instagram or Facebook, or LinkedIn, then it will not be possible on Wati.io.

I use 24sessions predominantly as I have large discount with it and it works for scheduling clients. The user interface is helpful for past meetings. 24sessions is click and go - no account or software is needed for the client. Zoom and Google Meet do have dial-in capabilities. Zoom is more widely known so potentially more trusted for clients, even though similar abilities. Zoom is more customisable in the call (turn off certain thing or on others). Google Meet is great for google account clients, but a surprising number don't have Google accts I've found.

Wati.io is easy and quick to set up and start using it. No need for any technical person. Also, reviews of other users led us to select Wati.io.

• Easy video calling for scheduled appointments has meant customer retention as they don't need specific software etc to have a call.
• Negative impact whilst our internet has been slow as I've been unable to use the product well as dial in to the call using a phone option.
• Emails reminders has meant more clients turning up for the calls leading to retained income and happier customers.

• Quick setup gave us good advantage.
• Easy to use, no need of any technical knowledge.
