Get StartedFrequently Asked Questions
Why does WhatsApp outperform email so significantly?
WhatsApp messages land in the same inbox as messages from family and friends — making them impossible to ignore. Average open rates are 92% vs 22% for email. Click-through rates are 28% vs 2.5%. The combined effect means WhatsApp delivers 5–10× more revenue per send for most businesses.
Are these benchmarks accurate for my industry?
The benchmarks are based on industry averages across 1,200+ Reputoo customers. E-commerce typically sees higher click rates; service businesses see higher booking rates. Use the sliders to adjust to your actual numbers for a more accurate comparison.
Does WhatsApp marketing work for B2B businesses?
Yes, though benchmarks differ. B2B open rates on WhatsApp are typically 70–85% (slightly lower than B2C) but conversion rates on follow-up inquiries are higher. WhatsApp works especially well for B2B appointment reminders, proposal follow-ups, and renewal notifications.
Can I use WhatsApp marketing instead of email completely?
Most businesses see best results using WhatsApp as their primary channel and email as backup. Some customer segments (older customers, corporate buyers) still prefer email. A hybrid approach maximizes coverage.
What does "platform cost" include in this calculator?
Platform cost includes your BSP subscription (e.g., Reputoo at $29/mo) plus Meta API conversation fees. For most businesses sending to under 5,000 contacts per month, the total is $30–$150/mo.
