# WAPlus > WAPlus is a free Chrome extension that turns WhatsApp Web into a business command center — message templates, broadcast campaigns, auto-replies, webhooks, contact export, and privacy controls. No sign-up, no ads, all data stays in your browser. WAPlus is a free, open browser extension for WhatsApp Web. It is not a SaaS product: there is no account, no server-side data store, and no paid tier. All settings, templates, automation rules, and campaign data are stored locally in `chrome.storage.local` and IndexedDB on the user's own machine. ## Key facts - **Price:** free, with no premium tier, trial, or in-app purchase. - **Platform:** Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers (Manifest V3). Firefox and Safari are not supported. - **Account required:** none. The extension works immediately after installation. - **Data handling:** message content, contacts, and settings stay in the browser. See https://waplus.app/privacy/ for the exceptions (user-configured webhooks and the optional translation feature). - **Core features:** message templates with variables and attachments, broadcast campaigns with randomized send delays, scheduled and repeating campaigns, keyword and time-based auto-reply rules, inbound and outbound webhooks, contact and group export to CSV, click-to-chat link and QR generator, and privacy/chat customization controls. ## Site - [Home](https://waplus.app/): Product overview, feature showcase, install instructions, and FAQ. - [Blog](https://waplus.app/blog/): Practical guides on WhatsApp Web for business — broadcasting, templates, automation, exports, and privacy. - [Privacy Policy](https://waplus.app/privacy/): What data the extension accesses, where it is stored, and what leaves the browser. ## Automation - [WhatsApp Auto-Reply Rules: How Keyword Automation Actually Works](https://waplus.app/blog/whatsapp-auto-reply-rules-explained/): Auto-replies are a matching engine, not a chatbot.
