Short answer: use Wati. Built around WhatsApp, quick Business API setup and a lower entry price. Its user seats are capped, so check the limit before you hire. Expect wati from ~$59/mo (annual); respond.io Starter ~$79/mo billed yearly, AI agents from Growth ~$159/mo, about 1–3 days to set up, and strong Arabic support.

One inbox across channels, with AI agents on the Growth plan and above. Costs more up front, so it pays off once you sell on several channels.
The catch: Both bills are plan fee plus Meta message fees, and the contact or seat limits differ. Price your real monthly conversations on each vendor's calculator before choosing, and check Arabic replies in a free trial.
