Comparison · India

Better than Zoko? The Zoko alternative that also does your login.

Conversation-priced, and billed in dollars. QuickAuth covers WhatsApp and phone authentication on one API and one INR invoice — as a direct Meta Tech Provider, with no reseller hop in between.

You pay Meta’s rate and nothing on top of it. No platform fee, no per-message markup, and no charge for a message that never arrived.

WHERE ZOKO WINS

Zoko prices conversations instead of seats, which is the honest shape for a support team that grows headcount faster than volume. If you were being punished by per-agent pricing elsewhere, that alone may be worth the move.

WHERE IT COSTS YOU

The invoice is in dollars, so an Indian business carries an FX spread, a card fee and GST it cannot claim. And commerce on WhatsApp still leaves your login to a second vendor.

WHAT THE INVOICE IS IN

A dollar invoice costs more than it says.

Zoko bills in USD. For an Indian business that is three costs, not one.

WHAT NONE OF THEM SHIP

Where a WhatsApp BSP stops.

Zoko is a capable WhatsApp platform. These are the parts that sit underneath a send, which no WhatsApp-only tool on this page ships.

Multiple WABAs, connected and pooled

One campaign fans out across your pool of WhatsApp Business Accounts rather than burning a single number, so no one sender carries the whole send.

Everything checked before the campaign runs

A canary batch goes first, then sender and template quality are read again between waves. The send halts on a RED template or pool rather than continuing into a restriction, and a halted campaign gets bounded automatic retries before it needs a human.

Smart routing across channels

Per-channel provider config with a merchant-set primary and fallback, so authentication keeps working when one channel does not — and a marketing send is never silently re-routed at your cost.

No subscription, and no markup on Meta’s price

You pay Meta’s message rate at cost. There is no monthly platform fee to carry in a quiet month and nothing added per message on top of Meta’s own rate.

98.7% WhatsApp delivery, published

We publish 98.7%, measured. Most platforms on this page publish a price and a feature list but never a delivery number — which is the one figure that decides what a campaign was actually worth.

Shared inbox and CRM, free to five users

Conversations, lead stages, tags, notes, tasks and transfers. The first five users cost nothing; past that it is a small flat fee per user, not a per-seat licence that reprices the whole team.

ROAS and revenue attributionIN DEVELOPMENT

Tying campaign spend to the orders it actually produced, per template and per recipient. Being built now — we would rather say that than show you a number we cannot yet stand behind.

QUESTIONS

Moving from Zoko.

Is QuickAuth better than Zoko?

For an Indian team that needs phone authentication as well as WhatsApp, yes — Zoko does not verify a phone number at all, so login has to be bought from a second vendor on a second invoice. For a team that only ever needs WhatsApp messaging and nothing else, Zoko is a capable product and the honest answer is that it may suit you better. The comparison below gives both sides rather than only ours.

Is QuickAuth cheaper than Zoko?

It depends on your mix, and any page that answers this with a single number is selling you something. QuickAuth bills on the delivery receipt rather than on send, so undelivered messages are not charged, and authentication sits on the same contract instead of being bought from a second vendor. Compare the total of both invoices, not the per-message rate on one.

Can I move from Zoko to QuickAuth without losing my WhatsApp number?

Yes. A WhatsApp Business Account can be migrated between providers and your number, your templates and your quality rating travel with it. We handle the migration, including re-registering templates where a category needs correcting.

What does QuickAuth do that Zoko does not?

Zoko is a WhatsApp messaging platform. QuickAuth covers both halves of the same pipe — phone authentication (OTP, login, re-auth with automatic SMS fallback) and WhatsApp messaging (campaigns, utility, shared inbox, chatbot) — on one API and one INR invoice, as a direct Meta Tech Provider.

When is Zoko the better choice?

Zoko prices conversations instead of seats, which is the honest shape for a support team that grows headcount faster than volume. If you were being punished by per-agent pricing elsewhere, that alone may be worth the move.
