Super lowcost WhatsApp API to send transactional messages for Indie Hackers
Situation: You want to send transactional messages on WhatsApp to improve the experience within your product and increase the conversion rate.
Problem: Doing this using the WhatsApp Business API Platform is very expensive for an IndieHacker or a Startup.
Solution: Micro-SaaS where we offer our own API to manage WhatsApp from a personal number, with documentation for low-code developers to integrate our API into their products and send messages through each person's WhatsApp account.
All from a simple and neat interface to make it easy, fast and economical.
Launch plan: $25/month, unlimited messages and contacts.
What do you think of this launch idea for the first Q of 2024?
Loving your Micro-SaaS idea! Solves a huge pain point for indie hackers like us - affordable WhatsApp messaging without breaking the bank.
Love the simplicity & personal touch with individual numbers. Just keep an eye on security & pricing for scalability.
Overall, super promising! Best of luck with your Q1 launch, mate!
Cheers,
ps: i find similar idea shared in this website https://bluewatsup.com/
Yes, something like wato.i but cheaper, I guess it can work or something like a WhatsApp based newsletter because I have a site and I wanted to create a newsletter with emails and the prices for all providers are too expensive for 10,000 users, For example, I read about a guy who posted on Reddit something like "I have 98% reads for my personalized WhatsApp newsletter", just put a free tier to check the behavior and I guess it can work.
Oh, I hadn't read your response. I find it very interesting, WhatsApp currently allows you to create newsletters from the WhatsApp Business account.
But I am sure that we can think of some functionalities more similar to those of a traditional Newsletter but brought to the world of messages through WhatsApp.
In fact the price would be very cheap compared to an emailing system.
I would like to validate this idea before working on it further.
Thanks for your comment!
