Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save by switching from Twilio to YCloud?

YCloud charges zero markup on WhatsApp conversation fees, while Twilio adds $0.005 per message on top of Meta's rates. For businesses sending 100,000 WhatsApp messages monthly, this translates to $500/month in savings ($6,000/year). Additionally, YCloud's free plan includes features that would cost hundreds on Twilio, such as team inbox, bulk campaigns, and AI chatbots.

Is it difficult to migrate from Twilio to YCloud?

Not at all. Most businesses complete the migration in under a day. YCloud provides comprehensive API documentation, migration guides, and dedicated support to help you transfer your WhatsApp Business Account, and message templates.

Will I lose my WhatsApp Business Account or phone number?

No. Your WhatsApp Business Account and phone number belong to you, not to Twilio. You can transfer your existing WhatsApp Business Account to YCloud.

Does YCloud support the same API features as Twilio?

Yes, and more. YCloud supports all standard WhatsApp Business API features including message templates, media messages, interactive buttons, lists, and webhooks. Additionally, YCloud provides built-in features that Twilio doesn't offer out-of-the-box, such as a team inbox, bulk broadcast campaigns, AI chatbots, marketing automation, and analytics dashboards — all without requiring custom development.

What happens to my existing Twilio integrations?

YCloud's API is designed to be developer-friendly with clear documentation and code examples in multiple languages. While you'll need to update your API endpoints and authentication, the core logic remains similar. YCloud also offers Zapier integration and webhooks, making it easy to connect with your existing CRM, e-commerce platform, or custom applications. Our technical team can provide migration support to minimize development time.

Can I use YCloud if I'm not a developer?

Absolutely. Unlike Twilio, which requires coding for most features, YCloud is built for both technical and non-technical users. You can create WhatsApp campaigns, set up chatbots, manage customer conversations, and analyze performance through an intuitive no-code interface. For advanced use cases, the full API is available for developers.

Does YCloud offer the same level of reliability as Twilio?

Yes. YCloud maintains a 99.99% uptime SLA and processes over 200 million messages daily. As an official Meta Business Solution Provider (BSP) with Premier status, YCloud has direct access to WhatsApp infrastructure and receives early access to new features.

What kind of support does YCloud provide?

YCloud offers email support on the free plan, with upgraded plans including dedicated account managers and 24/7 priority support. Unlike Twilio, which is frequently criticized for slow response times, YCloud provides hands-on assistance with onboarding, API integration, and ongoing optimization. Enterprise customers receive a dedicated technical account manager.
