Polymorfa vs Vonage

Three reasons teams move from Vonage

1. 01

   Pay for the days a number works, not for each message

   A Polymorfa linked-device number costs $0.25 for each day it is online, $7.50 for a full 30 days, and message volume does not change that. Monthly credit purchases of 10,000 credits or more add a bonus of 10% to 150%.^2,7

   Vonage: Vonage's platform fee applies per message and per country, from marketing templates to service replies, with Meta's fees on top.¹

2. 02

   Keep the phone app, and reach groups and channels

   Polymorfa connects the number as a linked device, so the phone keeps working. The Graph API takes Meta's request shape for linked-device and Cloud API numbers alike, and linked-device numbers manage groups and post to channels.^3,8,9

   Vonage: A Vonage WhatsApp number cannot be used in the mobile app once it is on the API.¹⁰

   curl -X POST "https://api.nexmo.com/v1/messages" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "to": "15551234567",
       "from": "15550001111",
       "channel": "whatsapp",
       "message_type": "text",
       "text": "Your order shipped."
     }'

   # 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." }
     }'

3. 03

   Onboard customers without a partner contract

   On Polymorfa, any team sends a QuickLink. The customer pairs a linked-device number by QR or pairing code, or runs Embedded Signup for a Cloud API number, which is in beta. The Customers API groups numbers and links by customer.^11,12

   Vonage: Vonage opens WhatsApp onboarding for other businesses to its partners, after Meta Tech Provider enrollment.¹³
