Source: Wapify on the Shopify App Store and Cartsaver on the Shopify App Store, checked 2026-10-23. “Not stated on the listing” means we didn’t find it there, not that the product lacks it. Wapify launched in July 2026, so its listing may change quickly. Cartsaver message allowances apply to stores in Egypt, India and Pakistan; see Pricing for other countries.

Who should choose which?

Section titled “Who should choose which?”

Choose Wapify if you want one AI-assisted inbox for WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, campaigns from the free plan, or unlimited messages at a flat $64.99 a month. Choose Cartsaver if you want to verify buyers before the order as well as after, a one-page COD form, Shopify Flow triggers, and an app with a longer review history.

Wapify is the better choice if you:

  • answer customers on Instagram and Facebook as well as WhatsApp, and want AI help in one inbox;
  • send many messages: Wapify Pro has unlimited order-update and marketing messages for $64.99, while Cartsaver’s plans have monthly allowances;
  • want to try WhatsApp campaigns on a free plan (Cartsaver campaigns start on Scale);
  • ship with Bosta, which Wapify’s listing names as an integration.

Cartsaver is the better choice if you:

  • want OTP verification before the order, on a pop-up or in a one-page COD form;
  • want unconfirmed orders cancelled or flagged automatically after a wait you choose;
  • want Shopify Flow triggers when a customer confirms, cancels or times out;
  • want a Built for Shopify app with 61 reviews since May 2025 (Wapify had none on 2026-10-23).

Which one verifies customers before the order?

Section titled “Which one verifies customers before the order?”

Cartsaver does. It can send an OTP code by WhatsApp, SMS (Egypt only) or email in a pop-up before Shopify’s checkout, or inside Fast Checkout, its one-page COD form. Wapify’s listing describes COD confirmation after the order and duplicate-order flagging, but doesn’t mention OTP or an order form.

See Pre-checkout OTP and Fast Checkout.

Which one handles customer chats better?

Section titled “Which one handles customer chats better?”

For live conversations, Wapify. Its AI inbox brings WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook chats together, labels each chat and suggests the next step. Cartsaver doesn’t have an inbox. Its auto-reply answers order questions on WhatsApp by itself, with order status, tracking and invoices, so your team handles fewer of them.

See Auto-reply (Order Inquiry) for what Cartsaver answers automatically.

How is each one priced?

Section titled “How is each one priced?”

Both start at $9.99 a month. Wapify counts order-update and marketing messages separately and offers unlimited messages on Pro at $64.99. Cartsaver counts all WhatsApp and SMS messages together, from 450 on Advanced to 27,000 on Ultra ($159.99) in Egypt, India and Pakistan, with smaller allowances elsewhere. At high volume, Wapify Pro costs less at list price.

Cartsaver’s campaigns carry a Cartsaver commission per delivered campaign message ($0.01 on Scale, $0 on Ultra), and Meta bills its own message charges to your WhatsApp Business account. See Pricing.

Do both use the official WhatsApp Business API?

Section titled “Do both use the official WhatsApp Business API?”

Yes, both listings say so. Wapify’s lists “Official WhatsApp number API” on every plan and lets you send from Wapify’s number or your own. Cartsaver’s says it is built on the official WhatsApp Business API; you can start on Cartsaver’s sender and connect your own number on Scale and Ultra.
