Where it sits in the data

Chatwith's $32K a month is higher than 79% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view: demand would come from people searching for businesses by location or category and wanting direct contact through WhatsApp. The buyer shown by the site is a person searching for a WhatsApp business. Distribution would come through the directory, search by location and category, browsing by category, and WhatsApp contact.

My view: building this would require work across directory data, search, listing presentation, and WhatsApp contact flows. General challenges include keeping listings usable, handling support demand, complying with applicable rules, and competing for directory traffic. The site shows coverage across 187 countries and listings in Mexico and Spain.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Chatwith presents an online directory organized around location and category, with contact through WhatsApp, featured businesses, most popular businesses, and newest listings.
