Merx ‑ WhatsApp Commerce edges out Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat 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: Dondy: WhatsApp Marketing+Chat at Free plan available, Merx ‑ WhatsApp Commerce at Free. 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 (apps, orders, integrations) varies.
