Why is a chat book from zapptales usually cheaper than a self-made photo book?

zapptales uses a highly efficient page layout that can significantly reduce your printing costs. Instead of displaying all messages in a simple vertical list, as most photo book tools do, zapptales presents your chat in the original WhatsApp design and splits each page horizontally into two full chat rows.

This means:

  • Up to twice as many messages per page

  • Fewer total pages

  • Lower printing costs for the same content

For example, a WhatsApp conversation that would require 500–600 pages in a self-made photo book typically fits into just 300 pages with zapptales – even with all media like photos, videos, and voice messages included via QR code.

Bottom line: More content per page, less cost overall – and no manual formatting needed.
