Achek

WhatsApp OTPs, chatbots and broadcasts priced for Nigerian volumes

Visit Website
Works in AfricaAfrica-built

A Nigerian communication API for sending WhatsApp one-time passwords, running AI chatbots and broadcasting messages, positioned explicitly as a cheaper local alternative to Twilio and SendGrid. It bundles a free business email address on the achek.com.ng domain, which is aimed at businesses that have not bought a domain yet.

Use when

You need WhatsApp OTP delivery in Nigeria and Twilio's pricing or card requirements do not work for you, or you want a chatbot live in an afternoon.

Skip when

You need proven scale or an SLA. This is a young product from a small team, so treat it as you would any early vendor in a critical path: test delivery rates yourself and keep a fallback. The bundled subdomain email is not a substitute for your own domain once you have customers.

Naira pricing and local support are the draw. Verify OTP delivery rates across MTN, Airtel and Glo before you put it in front of a signup flow.
