Polymorfa vs Green API
Green API's cheapest paid instance costs more than a Polymorfa number online every day.
Green API's cheapest paid instance costs $12 a month; a Polymorfa number online every day costs $7.50, and 500 numbers cost 4 times less.1,2 Polymorfa also signs every webhook body and serves linked-device and Cloud API numbers through one API.3,4

Three reasons teams move from Green API
- 01
Less per number, and nothing for the days a customer is gone
Polymorfa charges $0.25 per online day, and a disconnected day costs nothing: the same 100 numbers cost $320, 3.75 times less. Monthly purchases of 10,000 credits or more earn a bonus of 10% to 150% on the whole purchase, so 500 numbers online all month cost $1,500.2,8
Green API: Green API's paid plans cost $12 per instance per month, or $0.40 per day on the Partner plan.1 If half of 100 new instances are abandoned after day 2, the Business plan still costs $1,200, and a paid license is not recalculated.9
- 02
Webhooks you can verify, sends you can repeat
Polymorfa signs each delivery body with HMAC-SHA256 and makes up to eight delivery attempts over 24 hours, set per webhook.3 Sends accept an Idempotency-Key, so a retried request within 24 hours does not send the message twice.10
Green API: A static token proves only that the sender knows the token. It does not prove the body was not changed.11
- 03
One API for both routes
Polymorfa's Graph API accepts Meta's request shape for both linked-device and Cloud API numbers. The number you address decides which route carries the message. Cloud API onboarding is in beta.4,12
Green API: Green API runs its linked-device API and its WABA product separately.13,14 The linked-device API sends with POST /waInstance{idInstance}/sendMessage/{apiTokenInstance}.15
green-api.sh curl -X POST "$GREEN_API_URL/waInstance$ID_INSTANCE/sendMessage/$API_TOKEN_INSTANCE" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"chatId":"15551234567@c.us","message":"Your order shipped."}'send.sh # Same Meta-shaped body for a linked-device or a Cloud API number curl -X POST "https://api.polymorfa.com/graph/whatsapp/v26.0/$NUMBER_ID/messages" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $POLYMORFA_PROJECT_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "messaging_product": "whatsapp", "to": "15551234567", "type": "text", "text": { "body": "Your order shipped." } }'
One credit pool. Only the days a number is online.
One credit balance pays for every number your team runs, and a number costs credits only for the UTC days it is online.2 The monthly bonus is part of the price: buy 100,000 credits in a month and you get 250,000.8
Green API prices a Business instance at $12 per month, and its terms state that the fee paid for a license is not recalculated or returned.1,9 Move the sliders to see your own month.
