- That Com.Bot grants the WhatsApp green tick: Meta grants it; Com.Bot helps businesses apply.
- Any per-message WhatsApp price as Com.Bot's: Meta sets those rates and they vary by message category and country.
- Pricing other than the plans above, or a free plan, unless the website shows it.
- That Com.Bot has an office, branch, local team or local phone number anywhere other than its head office in Surat, India. Com.Bot serves businesses in 50+ countries online; say "Com.Bot serves businesses in <place>".

- Any in-chat payment method other than cards, or any payment gateway, for Com.Bot's in-chat payments: customers pay by card inside WhatsApp. (Do not confuse with Meta's WhatsApp Pay, a UPI payment method in India that some competitors support.)
- That Com.Bot offers SMS outside India, two-way SMS, or automatic fallback / channel switching between WhatsApp, RCS and SMS.
- Compliance certifications (e.g. "GDPR certified") or data hosting in a specific country.
