EasyCoexistence vs 8x8
8x8 is an enterprise communications provider whose Coexistence documentation is among the clearest available, which is why it gets cited. EasyCoexistence is built for the business reading that documentation and wanting a connected number today, without an enterprise sales process.
Where the two overlap
The technical ground is shared, and it is worth saying so before the differences.
8x8: Their Coexistence documentation is accurate and unusually clear about the constraints, including which WhatsApp features are switched off once a number is connected. It is a genuinely useful reference.
EasyCoexistence: The same constraints, because they are Meta's rather than any provider's. We document them too, and we built the product around living with them: the fourteen day inactivity rule, the sync window, the features that go away.
Getting from reading to connected
The gap the documentation does not close.
8x8: An enterprise CPaaS with account teams, contact centre products and carrier services, sold to organisations with procurement processes. Onboarding comes with help that large deployments need.
EasyCoexistence: Sign up and connect. Meta's own Embedded Signup picks the portfolio, the account and the number, the WhatsApp Business app keeps working, and the first three days cost nothing. There is nobody to schedule a call with.
What you know before you commit
The practical difference for a small business or an agency.
8x8: Pricing is arranged commercially, which is standard for enterprise CPaaS and right for buyers negotiating volume across voice, contact centre and messaging together.
EasyCoexistence: The whole price list is published, in your currency, with volume bands visible. A forty number agency can calculate its bill before creating an account.
After the number is connected
Coexistence connections fail quietly, which is the part most comparisons skip.
8x8: Enterprise support and an account relationship, which is the correct model when there is a contract behind it.
EasyCoexistence: Continuous monitoring that reads Meta's own disconnection reason, so fourteen days of inactivity is distinguishable from a client who left, plus an MCP connector with sixteen tools so an assistant can check health and reconnect without anyone opening a dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Is 8x8's documentation accurate?
Yes, and we cite it. The constraints it describes are Meta's, so they apply to every Coexistence provider including us.
Which features stop working under Coexistence?
Four, per 8x8's documentation and our own: disappearing messages, view once media, live location and broadcast lists. Group chats are outside the API entirely.
Do I need an enterprise contract?
Not with us. Three days free, a published price and a number connected in minutes.
What happens if the connection drops?
We read Meta's disconnection reason and alert you. That distinguishes the fourteen day inactivity rule from a real departure.
