Pricing entry tiers: Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat at Free plan available, Embedded Chat at Free trial available.

Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat has the deeper published review base (820 vs 0), which often — though not always — accompanies better-tested setup docs.

Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (820 reviews). Embedded Chat typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). A larger review base generally means the app has been exercised at scale — relevant if you are processing high volume or handling enterprise compliance requirements.
Migration support varies by app and category. Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat and Embedded Chat both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Embedded Chat" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
