Both cover social media management. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Built for people who grow an audience by writing
Hypefury is a scheduler shaped around text posts rather than a content calendar: queue threads, auto-retweet what performs, and append a promotion to a post once it passes a threshold you set. Tweetshots turn a post into an image for reposting elsewhere. The pricing is per channel at the entry plan, so somebody who only writes on one network pays for one, and the plan above it opens all of them for a flat rate.
Our note
Do the arithmetic on channels before choosing a tier: at four platforms the Flexible plan has already passed the flat one. This is worth a look mainly if the automation around a post, rather than the calendar, is what you are buying.

WhatsApp broadcasts and a shared team inbox
Wati sits on the official WhatsApp Business API and gives a team one inbox for it, plus broadcast campaigns and keyword automations. For a creator whose audience lives in WhatsApp groups, that is the difference between a personal phone and something two people can answer. Message charges from Meta land on top of the subscription, which is the part that surprises people.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
Meta's per-message charges sit on top of the subscription and move with message category, so the $59 is a starting point rather than a bill. Whether it is worth paying is a question about where the audience already is, not about features.
