Is Green API cheaper than WbizTool?

Per number, yes: Green API's Business plan is $12 a month per number, WbizTool's Lite plan $25. WbizTool includes the dashboard tools (campaigns, reminders, Google Sheets, a Shopify app) and covers 3 numbers on Standard for $59; the team inbox is a $20 add-on per number.

Is there a ban risk with both?

Yes. Both use your own number through a linked device, so WhatsApp can restrict a number that sends unwanted messages. Green API advises at most 200 customers a day; WbizTool advises about 150–200 messages per number a day and paces campaigns for you – and with both, message only people who expect it.
