The short version

  • Only WhatsApp has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate; WhatsApp consumer app messaging and calling is free, but the vendor notes carrier data charges may apply
  • They diverge on capability: ProofHub covers Tasks, WhatsApp covers Text messaging.
