- Spam risk: Reddit users warn bulk messaging can lead to WhatsApp bans unless using official Business APIs reddit.com+14garudeya.com+14gplpluginthemes.com+14reddit.com+12reddit.com+12reddit.com+12 “Using bulk messaging tools to contact 100–120 people on WhatsApp can lead to your account being flagged for spam…” reddit.com+4reddit.com+4reddit.com+4

🔍 Alternatives Based on Trends
Reddit users discuss more official or compliant tools:
- WhatsApp Business API providers like WATI, Sendwo, Mekari—safer for large-volume messaging reddit.com+1reddit.com+1reddit.com+1reddit.com+1
- Web‑based bots/extensions (like Chrome-based bulk sender tools) that use WhatsApp Web directly reddit.com+15reddit.com+15codeprofit.shop+15
🛠️ Recommendations
- Clarify your use case: Are you aiming for internal team use, client marketing, or building an external SaaS?
- Evaluate risk vs compliance: Bulk messaging can risk account bans. For high volumes, consider Business API providers for safer delivery.
- Source carefully: Avoid dubious nulled copies. Prefer legitimate sellers even if at a cost—to ensure future updates, reliability, and support.
- Plan deployment needs: Server with Node.js, Laravel, and enough RAM.
- Monitor messaging patterns: Use throttling, consent lists, and test smaller volumes first.
