WhatsApp bot with your own number or a dedicated number: which to pick

Choosing between a WhatsApp bot with your own number and a dedicated number is the first question for anyone who decides to automate a group. Both do the same thing inside the group. The difference is which number members see and how the bot connects.

This guide compares the two ways of having Becca, shows who each one suits best and answers the most common questions, from price to switching after you subscribe.

The two ways to have Becca

Either way, to delete messages, remove people and open or close the group, the bot's number needs to be an admin. With Becca's number, she joins the group as a regular contact and you promote her to admin. With your number, it keeps the role it already has: if you are an admin, so is the bot. After that, everything runs on a cloud server, 24 hours a day. What changes is where she speaks from: your number or a number of her own.

The features are the same either way: every group comes with the full package, including protections, welcome messages, automatic messages, games and artificial intelligence. Choosing the number takes nothing away from the bot, it only changes who it is in the eyes of the group.

With your own number

You connect the WhatsApp you already use to the bot with a pairing code, generated in the dashboard. Members keep talking to the same number as always. The cost is the group price: R$ 15 per group per month.

With Becca's number

Here the bot uses a dedicated number, which belongs to Becca. It connects on its own, with no pairing on your side and no need to keep your phone connected, and your number is not shown to anyone. It is also a way to keep your personal WhatsApp separate from the group. The cost is the group price plus R$ 15 per month for the dedicated number. If you want to introduce the bot to the members, a welcome message or a recurring message does the job, like this one:

The two ways, side by side

• Cost: with your number, R$ 15 per group per month. With Becca's number, R$ 15 per group plus R$ 15 per month for the dedicated number
• Connection: with your number, you connect with a pairing code in the dashboard. With Becca's number, she connects on her own
• What members see: with your number, the same number as always. With Becca's number, a dedicated number, and yours stays out of it
• Personal and group: with your number, the bot uses the WhatsApp you already have. With Becca's number, your personal life stays separate from the group
• Switching: in both cases, you can move from one to the other in the dashboard

With more groups, the total adds R$ 15 per group, and the dedicated number is added only once, as a separate line, in the calculator on the website. You can simulate your own case before subscribing.

Who each one is for

• Your own number suits people who already run the group from that number and want everything to keep looking the same
• Becca's number suits people who do not want to expose their own number, want to keep personal life separate from the group or prefer not to pair anything
• People who run customer or sales groups may prefer the dedicated number, so their personal contact does not become a support channel

Also think about who is in the group. In a group of friends, family or a team where everyone already has your contact, showing your number makes no difference. In an open group with many strangers, it is worth thinking twice before putting your number in front of everyone.

Common questions

• Can I switch later? Yes. You alternate between your number and Becca's in the dashboard, at any time
• I have several groups, how does it work? Each group costs R$ 15 per month, and all of them stay in the same account
• I already have a subscription with a bot, can I put other groups on it? You can. The new groups join the same bot and you pay only for the groups
• Is there a lock-in? No. It is month to month and you cancel whenever you want
• How do I pay? By Pix or card, with monthly renewal

Next step

Answer one question: are you comfortable with members seeing your number in the group? If so, your own number does the job for R$ 15 per group per month. If not, or if you want to separate personal life from the group, pick Becca's number for another R$ 15 per month. Either way, no lock-in, Pix or card, and the chance to change your mind later in the dashboard.
