whatsappx.si vs Periskope

As of October 2026, Periskope is built for operations, sales and support teams that work through many regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app numbers and many WhatsApp groups. It connects numbers by scanning a QR code from WhatsApp’s “Link device” screen and syncs every chat and group the number is part of (Periskope docs).

On top of the inbox it offers group management, tickets and tasks, SLA notifications, a rules engine, AI flagging and reply suggestions, bulk messaging credits, and native integrations with HubSpot, Zoho, Freshdesk, Google Sheets and Zapier (Periskope). It launched iOS and Android apps in March 2026 (Periskope blog) and states ISO/IEC 27001 certification and GDPR compliance (Periskope security).

One deliberate limit: Periskope’s FAQ says it does not support WhatsApp Business API (WABA) numbers (Periskope), so there are no Meta-approved templates; everything runs through linked devices.

whatsappx.si is for teams that want to turn the WhatsApp they already have into one shared inbox without a heavy operations layer. You scan a QR code, recent chat history syncs in, and every teammate signs in with their own account to search, open and reply to chats at the same time.

• Roles and assignment. Owners, admins and agents; agents see only their assigned chats.
• Keyword automations. Auto-replies triggered by keywords, which you can switch on or off and whose run counts you can see.
• Knowledge base. Write articles your teammates can search by keyword to find answers quickly.
• An optional official connection. Connect numbers through Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform with Embedded Signup and create templates that sync with Meta.
• Developers. A REST API with API keys and outbound webhooks for incoming messages.

For example, a dental clinic could link its existing number by QR code on day one, then add an official API number later for appointment reminders using approved templates.

Paid add-ons cover AI credits, extra rules, onboarding and support, and prices exclude tax (Periskope pricing; pricing update effective 1 September 2026). Because Periskope connects regular numbers only, there are no Meta per-message fees.

whatsappx.si offers plans for the USA and India; see the pricing page for current details. QR-linked numbers carry no Meta messaging fees. If you also connect numbers through the official WhatsApp Business Platform, Meta bills per delivered message by category and market, separately from your plan (Meta pricing).
