wa2tg.app vs GREEN-API
Short answer: GREEN-API and wa2tg.app are different kinds of tools. GREEN-API is a WhatsApp API service with a free developer tier and paid plans. You link your own WhatsApp number by QR and receive messages through webhooks or polling. Like other WhatsApp APIs, it is a building block for developers; the Telegram side is not included.
wa2tg.app is a hosted, no-code WhatsApp ↔ Telegram bridge: you connect one WhatsApp group to one Telegram group on this website in about 2 minutes, and every message is mirrored both ways, live, with media. No server, no QR code, no code, and your own WhatsApp number is never linked to anything.

When GREEN-API is the better choice
GREEN-API is the right tool if you are writing software that needs WhatsApp as a channel. If you just want two groups mirrored, wa2tg is faster and needs no code.
