Nemvio vs. whapi.ro
The closest competitor in Romania
whapi.ro is a Romanian platform on top of the official WhatsApp API: a shared inbox, campaigns, a mini CRM, and an AI chatbot on the top plan, all configured by you. It is the closest alternative to us in Romania, and over the first year it costs almost the same. The difference is not the price, it is who builds the virtual assistant and what it does afterwards.
In short
What whapi.ro sells
The platform. An account open today, flows you build yourself.
What Nemvio sells
The system. A bot built around your services, with bookings and a phone line.
What you are comparing
These are not the same thing, and that is fine
We are not a direct alternative. They sell access to the channel, we sell the system built on top of it.
whapi.ro gives you
- A shared team inbox, campaigns, and a mini CRM
- An AI chatbot on the Expert plan, configured by you
- An account live the same day, with no starting fee
Nemvio gives you
- A bot we build around your services, prices, and schedule
- A booking system with calendar, staff, and customer history
- A voice agent that answers the phone and books during the call
The real cost
What you pay, end to end
Including the lines that appear on nobody’s pricing page: the build and the maintenance.
With whapi.ro
- Standard 249 lei, Pro 349 lei, Expert 549 lei a month, VAT included
- The AI chatbot exists only on Expert, so 549 lei a month
- No starting fee
- Configuring and maintaining the flows: your time
With Nemvio
- Start, 2,500 lei to build, then 349 lei a month
- Or 499 lei a month with nothing at signing, over 12 months
- Complete, with the voice agent: 4,500 lei to build and 699 lei a month
- Building the bot, included. You configure nothing.
Over the first year the totals are nearly identical: 6,588 lei with them on the plan that has the AI chatbot, 6,688 with us on Start. From year two you pay 6,588 with them and 4,188 with us, because the build fee does not repeat. Their figures are public and can change, so check them at the source.

Who each one fits
When we are not the answer
We start with the cases where we would tell you not to pick us. They are real and you should know them upfront.
Do not choose Nemvio if
- You want to start today, not in a week or two
- You want to build and rewrite the flows yourself
- Mass campaigns to thousands of contacts are the main purpose
- You need an inbox for a team of agents, not bookings
Choose Nemvio if
- You want the bot built around how you work, not an empty account to configure
- Bookings are the core of your business, not the conversations themselves
- You are losing calls too, not just messages
- You would rather ask for a change than make it yourself
whapi.ro is a good platform, built in Romania, with Romanian support and no starting fee. If you want to start today and handle the flows yourself, it is the right choice and there is no point talking you out of it. We build for whoever wants the system already made, with the bookings and the phone inside it.
