Pricing entry tiers: Buddy Apps Order Tracker at Free trial available, WhatsApp at Free to install. 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.
WhatsApp has the larger user base (821 reviews vs 0), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

Buddy Apps Order Tracker typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (0 reviews). WhatsApp typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (821 reviews).
