Official alternative · API approved by Meta

Looking for an alternative to Zendesk?
Start with what protects your number.

Zendesk is a customer service platform with tickets, email and messaging. Before choosing any alternative, there's one decisive question: does the tool use the official WhatsApp API — or does it run over WhatsApp Web (unofficial, subject to bans)?

Rather than a ticketing help desk priced per agent, ChatSense focuses on conversations: AI agents that serve and sell on official WhatsApp, with CRM and scheduling, on a fixed monthly plan. All via the official API approved by Meta (WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger) — with no risk of your number being banned.

Frequently asked questions

Does ChatSense use the official WhatsApp API?

Yes. We're approved through Meta App Review and operate WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger via the official API — without the ban risk of solutions based on WhatsApp Web.

How do I migrate from Zendesk to ChatSense?

Migration is handled by our team during assisted deployment: we set up channels, AI agents and flows, and help bring over your data — without any downtime.

Does ChatSense charge per message?

No. There's no charge based on message volume; AI, CRM and omnichannel are already included. The monthly fee is fixed, with the plan's conversation allowance; WhatsApp template messages are billed by Meta directly to your account.

Why does the official API matter so much?

Because it protects your number. Unofficial solutions (WhatsApp Web/QR Code) can be blocked by Meta at any time, taking down your sales channel.
