Kaption Pro is R$65.99 a month; Pragmaz wins on Kanban, campaigns and sending with the computer off. Canonical: https://kaptionai.com/alternatives/pragmaz/ Last checked: Nov 3, 2026 Pragmaz is a WhatsApp Web sales suite built for Brazilian sellers, with Kanban, campaigns and scheduled statuses. If you mostly use it for transcripts, translation and chat export, Kaption does those for less, and schedules statuses too. ## TL;DR - Price: in Brazil, Kaption Pro is R$65.99 a month and Business R$109.99. Pragmaz Basic is R$151.24 a month, or R$120.99 a month billed yearly. - Both transcribe voice notes, translate and export chats to HTML with media. Kaption adds call recording (on Business), MCP for Claude and ChatGPT, and a desktop app. - Pragmaz wins on Kanban CRM, campaigns, several numbers in one tab and, on Advanced, sending with the computer off. Kaption has none of these. ## How does Kaption compare with Pragmaz, feature by feature?

Kaption doesn’t do bulk messaging or campaigns, on purpose: its terms forbid unsolicited messages. If sending to lists is your job, use a tool built for it. ## How do I switch from Pragmaz to Kaption? 1. **Install Kaption.** Add Kaption to Chrome or Edge, or download the desktop app for Mac or Windows. Your chats stay in WhatsApp, so there is nothing to export or import. 2. **Keep your HTML exports.** Exports you already made with Pragmaz are files and stay valid. Kaption exports chats too, as HTML with media or CSV with transcripts. 3. **Several numbers.** Pragmaz runs several accounts in one tab. In Kaption, use the desktop app for that; the extension works with the WhatsApp Web session you have open. 4. **Know what has no equivalent.** Campaigns and the Kanban board have no Kaption equivalent. Scheduled statuses do: schedule them from WhatsApp’s own Status screen.

Every account starts with 60 days of Business, unlimited. After that, Free transcribes on your device with limits, Lifetime local AI (one payment) transcribes and translates on your computer without limits, and Pro and Business are unlimited in the cloud. Translation covers 36 languages. Pragmaz includes TranscriptAI in its plans or sells it as an R$7.99 a month add-on. ## Can Kaption schedule WhatsApp statuses? Yes. Schedule a text status, or a photo or video with a caption, from WhatsApp’s own Status screen, from Kaption’s Scheduled screen or by asking Claude or ChatGPT. It posts from your own number through WhatsApp Web, so your computer must be on at that time. Each status counts as one scheduled item. ## Does Kaption send with the computer off? No. Kaption sends from WhatsApp Web or the desktop app on your computer, so it must be on at the scheduled time. Pragmaz Advanced has 24-hour cloud sending. ## Can Kaption send bulk messages or campaigns? No, on purpose. Kaption is for one-to-one messages people expect, and its terms forbid bulk and unsolicited messaging, which can also get a number banned by WhatsApp. If you need to send to lists, use a tool built for it.
