Kanal: WhatsApp Marketing & AI edges out DC: WhatsApp Marketing + API on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: DC: WhatsApp Marketing + API at Free trial available, Kanal: WhatsApp Marketing & AI at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
DC: WhatsApp Marketing + API has the larger user base (223 reviews vs 96), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Kanal: WhatsApp Marketing & AI; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — DC: WhatsApp Marketing + API's 223-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Kanal: WhatsApp Marketing & AI's broader-but-shallower coverage.
