WasepJe.com
A capable technical user can build and run a lightweight WhatsApp link rotator (the product's core is simple routing, weighting, QR generation and counting); the hosted product provides convenience, hosting and polish but no evident durable moat.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All WasepJe.com alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Create short link with custom slug -> store phone numbers and weights -> serve redirect endpoint that selects a phone by weight (optionally delay) -> generate QR code for the link -> track clicks and show simple analytics / admin UI.
What it still won’t have
- Hosted, maintained service and uptime guarantees
- Built-in billing/upgrade flow and hosted payments
- Any proprietary polish, branding, or UX refinements of the vendor product
- Official support and automatic product updates
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a small self-hosted WhatsApp link rotator as a Node.js (Express) app with PostgreSQL. Core features in scope: create custom link slugs, add unlimited phone numbers with integer weight, produce a redirect endpoint that selects a number by weight and redirects to the appropriate wa.me URL (support optional configurable delay), generate and cache QR codes for each link, increment click counters and expose a minimal admin UI to CRUD links and view click counts. Out of scope: payment processing, multi-tenant SaaS billing, advanced analytics. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for selection logic, and a Dockerfile + docker-compose for local deploy.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
