Why teams switch
What you gain moving from ZeptoMail.
- Send OTP over SMS and WhatsApp, not just email.
- A real verification API with expiry and attempt limits built in.
- Multi-channel from a single key instead of email-only credits.
- Local pricing and support for the African market.
In fairness: Cost-sensitive teams already in the Zoho ecosystem that only send transactional email.
