| Purpose | Howzit is a simple private social app for sharing, casual messaging and collaborating with friends & family. | WhatsApp is for texting with everyone: acquaintances, friends, strangers, and businesses |
| Business Model | User data is not used for targeted advertising or for other marketing purposes. Only Paid by consumers, not advertisers. | Whatsapp user data is used by Facebook for marketing purposes. |
| Data Privacy | Howzit does not share your information with anyone as we do not serve ads in the app or monetise for marketing purposes. We do not backup your messages on our servers, once lost, there is no way of getting it back. | According to the existing privacy policy, WhatsApp does share information such as “account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data, service-related information, information on how you interact with others (including businesses) when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address,” with Facebook. This information could also include “other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent.” Profile picture is mentioned in the ‘Information we collect’ section in the existing and upcoming privacy policy. |
| Personalisation | Howzit was designed to make your chatting and media sharing a personalised experience. You can see it evidently in features like AudioImages, online invitations, Posts etc. | Although Whatsapp is a proven method of communication when it comes to texting or groups, there is less scope when it comes to giving a personal touch. |
| Media Share | In Howzit, you always have the option of turning Privacy mode ON with a lock icon for media share and the receiver will not be able to forward the media shared any further. Thus your media shared is only seen by the one it was intended for. | Any type of media can be shared to anyone or other applications without giving the user any choice. Not all media is meant to be shared across all apps. You may trust and share to one friend who in turn can misuse and share it across other apps or post it public. |
| Multiple DP | With Howzit, you can save upto seven profile pictures of your choice and see it change automatically every day you open the app for the entire week. | No concept of setting up multiple display picture in Whatsapp |
