Depra vs BiteSpeed
Depra vs BiteSpeed. The honest comparison.
BiteSpeed runs your templates and flows. Depra runs the conversation. Our AI agents handle objections, offer the upsell, and ask for the order - on WhatsApp, voice, and email - without handing off to a human.
The wedge
Why brands switch from BiteSpeed.
BiteSpeed is a flow-and-template builder for WhatsApp commerce. It does that well - broadcasts, click-to-WhatsApp ads, recovery flows - but the moment a customer says something the template didn't anticipate, the conversation hits a human queue. That handoff is where the revenue leaks.
Depra is architecturally different. Every Depra conversation is driven by an AI agent that reasons end-to-end - it understands context, handles objections, pulls live order and product data, and closes without a human in the loop. Our average D2C brand resolves 87% of conversations without escalation.
If you want the cheapest WhatsApp broadcast tool, BiteSpeed is fine. If you want a system that converts conversations into revenue, the agent-native architecture is the wedge.

Migration guide
Switching from BiteSpeed to Depra.
Most teams are live on Depra in under a week. Your WhatsApp Business Account, phone numbers, and customer data move with you - Depra never locks any of it.
Step 01
We help you transfer the WABA
Your WhatsApp Business Account and phone number stay yours. We coordinate with Meta to migrate the WABA from BiteSpeed's BSP to Depra (Cloud API) - typically 24-48 hours. Existing conversation history stays accessible during the transition.
Step 02
Templates port over, automatically
We import your approved BiteSpeed templates into Depra's template library. They keep their Meta-approved status - no re-submission needed. Custom templates you authored move over with edit history.
Step 03
Your contact lists, opt-ins, and tags
We import customer phone numbers, opt-in records, conversation history, and tags. Opt-in evidence is preserved with timestamp and source so Meta quality reviews still pass.
Step 04
Set up the AI agents
Most brands turn on Depra's day-one playbooks (cart recovery, COD confirmation, NDR recovery, refund-to-exchange) and customize from there. Our team helps you test on a sample audience before flipping the volume up.
Step 05
Cut over and decommission
Most brands run both platforms in parallel for 1 week to validate. We help you move automation triggers, then pause BiteSpeed. End-to-end migration averages 5-10 business days.
FAQ
Common questions.
- Will switching from BiteSpeed disrupt my customers?
- No - your WhatsApp Business Account and phone number stay the same throughout. Customers see no change in the number they message. The migration happens at the BSP layer over 24-48 hours and existing conversations remain accessible.
- Do I keep my approved Meta templates when I switch?
- Yes. Approved templates are tied to your WABA, not the BSP. We import them into Depra and they retain their Meta-approved status. You don't need to re-submit anything that was already approved on BiteSpeed.
- What if my BiteSpeed contract isn't up yet?
- Most brands run both platforms for 1-2 weeks during migration anyway. If you have time left on your BiteSpeed contract, run them in parallel - Depra handles the new volume while BiteSpeed winds down. We won't make you cancel before you're ready.
- Is Depra more expensive than BiteSpeed?
- It depends on volume mix. Depra publishes per-credit pricing in INR; BiteSpeed quotes are demo-gated. For brands with high COD/NDR/voice volume, Depra is typically cheaper because we close conversations end-to-end without burning human-agent hours. For brands that only run WhatsApp broadcasts, BiteSpeed may be cheaper at low volumes.
- Does Depra work for non-Shopify stores?
- Yes. We have native WooCommerce integration and a public REST API for custom storefronts. Most BSP-led platforms (BiteSpeed included) are Shopify-first; Depra was built channel-first, so the storefront is a connector, not a hard dependency.
- How does the AI handle Hindi and regional languages?
- Depra's AI is multilingual at the model layer - it understands and responds in 12 Indian languages plus Hinglish without you maintaining separate templates per language. BiteSpeed's templates are typically authored per-language, which means duplicate work and slower iteration.
- Can I see Depra in action with my own data before switching?
- Yes - book a demo and we'll spin up a sandbox with sample data from your category (cosmetics, fashion, F&B, etc.). For brands serious about migration, we run a 7-day paid pilot on a sample of your real customers.
