Is Gupshup cheaper if I send a lot of messages?

Meta’s variable cost exists either way. Gupshup adds its CPaaS margin. 42agents adds a per-account platform fee. At huge enterprise volumes, a custom-quoted BSP can win. At 5–50 agency accounts, the fixed fee is usually simpler to resell.

Do you migrate numbers from Gupshup?

The number stays the client’s. We connect it at onboarding.

Do you include inbox and agent, or only the API?

Inbox, BYOK agent, multi-account console, and white-label. Not a BSP: the product you resell. Pro from USD 39/account; 7-day trial.

Is there coexistence?

Yes. Cloud API with coexistence: the team stays on WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Web while the agent runs on the same number.

Gupshup alternative

A Gupshup alternative: you don’t need a BSP to sell an agent

Gupshup is messaging infrastructure. 42agents is WhatsApp agent white-label for agencies, with inbox and coexistence, from USD 39.

Gupshup shows up in almost every “WhatsApp API” search next to Twilio: it is a BSP, with per-conversation/message pricing and tools for whoever will build on top. 42agents does not bid against Gupshup per million sessions. It bids against the project your agency would have to run so a client gets an agent, an inbox, and a brand. If you already integrate Gupshup, you can keep doing that. If you want a product to resell in LatAm without a messaging team, USD 39 per account is the shortcut — with a 7-day trial and coexistence on the existing number.

Gupshup: gupshup.io (CPaaS / WhatsApp Business API). Messaging prices vary by country; we don’t reproduce them. Conceptual BSP vs application comparison, September 2026.

BSP vs agency product

Gupshup assumes there are developers

APIs, templates, throughput. Value is in volume.

42agents assumes there is an agency

Onboarding, brand, agent, handoff. Value is in your client’s client.

We don’t compete for the enterprise WABA

If you need a BSP for 50 countries and operator contracts, stay on that layer.

Coexistence as a product feature

It is not a technical checkbox hidden in an onboarding PDF. It is the promise to the advertiser: they don’t lose the phone.
