Why Pingi

SMS verification is broken

10x cheaper

No SMS gateway fees. WhatsApp messages cost a fraction of SMS OTP — save thousands at scale.

Instant delivery

No failed SMS. No carrier delays. WhatsApp delivers in milliseconds, worldwide.

Better UX

No codes to type. Users tap a link and send a pre-filled message — verified in one step.

Global reach

WhatsApp has 2B+ users across 180+ countries. One API, worldwide coverage.

Integration

Four steps. That's it.

Call the API

Your backend requests a verification session from Pingi.

User taps link

Show a WhatsApp deep link. One tap opens the chat.

Sends message

A pre-filled verification message is sent to Pingi.

Webhook confirms

Pingi notifies your backend instantly. Verified.
