WhatsApp link generators vs WACapture — links are not lead capture

Generic WhatsApp link generators
Link generators output a wa.me URL with a pre-filled message and sometimes a QR code. There is no lead capture, no analytics, no source attribution.
WACapture
WACapture provides a full lead capture stack: pre-chat form, branded QR codes, per-source analytics, lead export and a private dashboard.
