AiSensy is cheaper than Interakt for a small sender in 2026, and Interakt becomes cheaper once you send roughly 10,000 marketing messages a month. AiSensy Basic is ₹1,500 a month plus ₹1.09 per marketing message, while Interakt Growth is ₹2,799 a month plus ₹0.958, so the lower plan fee wins at low volume and Interakt's lower per-message rate wins above about 9,800 messages; pick AiSensy for vernacular broadcasts and Click-to-WhatsApp ads, and Interakt for Shopify and D2C commerce.
Updated 7 November 2026. Published by RichAutomate, a WhatsApp Business API provider that competes with both.

AiSensy pricing 2026
AiSensy lists these plans for India, as listed on 7 Nov 2026. The pricing page does not make the billing period for every core plan clear, so confirm whether a price is billed monthly, quarterly or yearly before you pay.
| AiSensy plan | Price as listed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free Forever | ₹0 | No broadcasting; useful for trying the inbox |
| Basic | ₹1,500/month | Entry plan with broadcasting |
| Pro | ₹3,200/month | More automation and team features |
| Premium | ₹9,100/month | Higher tiers of support and limits |
| Unlimited | ₹45,000/month | Large teams |
| Enterprise | Custom | Quoted by sales |
AiSensy per-message rates (India): ₹1.09 per marketing message, ₹0.145 per utility message and ₹0.145 per authentication message on the listed tiers. That is about ₹0.23 above Meta's marketing rate and ₹0.03 above its utility rate, so AiSensy is relatively cheap for transactional traffic and relatively expensive for promotional broadcasts.
AiSensy add-ons: the chatbot builder is ₹2,500 a month (₹2,250 a month billed annually, 5 bots); the AI Agent is ₹1,350 a month for 1,000 AI messages (₹1,215 a month billed annually); an Indian virtual number is ₹2,000 plus GST a year. New accounts get ₹50 of sign-up conversation credits. If you need a chatbot, add ₹2,500 to the Basic plan when comparing, which takes AiSensy's floor to ₹4,000 a month.

Interakt pricing 2026
Interakt, built by Haptik (a Jio Platforms company), lists these WhatsApp plans for India, as listed on 7 Nov 2026. Prices are monthly; the page also shows a "save 20%" yearly toggle, but no yearly prices were displayed, so ask Interakt for the annual figure.
| Interakt plan | Monthly plan | Marketing | Utility | Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Not applicable for WhatsApp on the page (verify); ₹999 is the Instagram-only Starter | ₹0.970 | ₹0.160 | ₹0.129 |
| Growth | ₹2,799 | ₹0.958 | ₹0.150 | ₹0.128 |
| Advanced | ₹3,799 | ₹0.949 | ₹0.140 | ₹0.127 |
| Enterprise | On request | Listed as "No Markup Charges" | ||
All listed plans show unlimited agents. Add-ons include WhatsApp AI Agents at ₹2,499 a month with 100 AI messages, then ₹0.50 per AI message (another part of the page mentions ₹3,000, so confirm), and a Sales CRM at ₹2,499 a month for 5 agents. The trial length is not stated on the pricing page; ask before you sign up. Earlier versions of this article quoted Interakt "from about ₹999 a month"; on 7 Nov 2026 that price applies only to the Instagram plan, so WhatsApp buyers should budget from Growth at ₹2,799. More detail is in our Interakt pricing guide for India.
Monthly cost by volume: AiSensy vs Interakt
Marketing messages to Indian numbers, before GST, on each vendor's plans. Formula: monthly plan + (messages × per-message rate).
| Plan | 1,000 msgs | 10,000 msgs | 25,000 msgs | 50,000 msgs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AiSensy Basic (₹1,500 + ₹1.09) | ₹2,590 | ₹12,400 | ₹28,750 | ₹56,000 |
| AiSensy Pro (₹3,200 + ₹1.09) | ₹4,290 | ₹14,100 | ₹30,450 | ₹57,700 |
| Interakt Growth (₹2,799 + ₹0.958) | ₹3,757 | ₹12,379 | ₹26,749 | ₹50,699 |
| Interakt Advanced (₹3,799 + ₹0.949) | ₹4,748 | ₹13,289 | ₹27,524 | ₹51,249 |
| RichAutomate Client Pay (₹0 + ≈₹0.9631) | ₹963 | ₹9,631 | ₹24,078 | ₹48,155 |
| Meta's own charge (reference) | ₹863 | ₹8,631 | ₹21,578 | ₹43,155 |
Where the lines cross. Interakt Growth costs ₹1,299 a month more than AiSensy Basic in plan fees but ₹0.132 less per marketing message. ₹1,299 ÷ ₹0.132 ≈ 9,841, so below about 9,800 marketing messages a month AiSensy Basic is cheaper, and above it Interakt Growth is cheaper. At 10,000 messages the two are within ₹21 of each other. At 50,000 the gap is ₹5,301 a month in Interakt's favour.

Utility traffic flips the result. At 10,000 utility messages a month (order updates, reminders), AiSensy Basic is ₹2,950 (₹1,500 + 10,000 × ₹0.145) and Interakt Growth is ₹4,299 (₹2,799 + 10,000 × ₹0.150). AiSensy is cheaper here at every volume we tested, because its plan is cheaper and its utility rate is lower than Interakt Growth's.
Interakt Advanced rarely pays off on price alone. It costs ₹1,000 more than Growth for ₹0.009 less per marketing message, so it only beats Growth above about 1.1 lakh marketing messages a month. Choose Advanced for its features, not its rate.

Where Interakt wins
- Vendor backing. Interakt is built by Haptik, part of Jio Platforms. For a buyer who wants a large Indian group behind the vendor, that matters.
- Shopify and WooCommerce depth. Abandoned-cart recovery, order confirmation, shipping updates and COD confirmation are built into the product, not bolted on. A D2C store can be live with order flows in an afternoon.
- Lower marketing rate at volume. ₹0.958 on Growth and ₹0.949 on Advanced against AiSensy's ₹1.09. For a brand sending tens of thousands of promotional messages, that ₹0.13 adds up quickly.
- Unlimited agents on every listed plan. A large support or sales team does not pay per seat on the core plans.
- Guided onboarding. Interakt offers onboarding help and assistance with the green-tick application; confirm what is included on your plan.
Where AiSensy wins
- Lower entry price. ₹1,500 a month for Basic, against ₹2,799 for Interakt Growth, plus a Free Forever plan for exploring the inbox.
- Vernacular UI. AiSensy offers its dashboard in Indian languages such as Hindi, Bengali and Tamil, which helps teams outside metros adopt it.
- Broadcast simplicity. Its campaign tool is built around simple segmented broadcasts and retargeting, which suits coaching institutes, local retailers and event organisers.
- Click-to-WhatsApp ad attribution. AiSensy puts weight on tracking which Meta ad brought each conversation. If you run CTWA ads, test that reporting against your ad manager. Our Click-to-WhatsApp link generator is a free way to set up tracked links whichever provider you pick.
- Cheaper utility traffic. ₹0.145 per utility message on all listed tiers, with a lower plan fee.
Feature parity: what is the same
Most of the core feature list overlaps, because both providers sit on Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API:
| Feature | AiSensy | Interakt |
|---|---|---|
| Official Meta API and green-tick eligibility | Yes | Yes |
| Shared team inbox | Yes | Yes |
| Template broadcasts and segmentation | Yes (from Basic) | Yes |
| Chatbot / flow builder | Add-on, ₹2,500/month | Included automations; AI Agents add-on |
| Native Shopify / WooCommerce | Integrations available (verify depth) | Core strength |
| CRM | Contact tags and attributes (verify depth) | Sales CRM add-on, ₹2,499/month |
| AI agent | ₹1,350/month for 1,000 AI messages | ₹2,499/month with 100 AI messages, then ₹0.50 each |
Because the features overlap, decide on workflow fit and price at your volume, not on the length of a feature checklist. For a three-way view including Wati, see our Wati vs AiSensy vs Interakt comparison.
Who should pick which
- Coaching centre, local retailer or event organiser sending a few thousand broadcasts a month: AiSensy Basic. The lower plan fee wins below about 9,800 marketing messages.
- Shopify or WooCommerce D2C brand: Interakt Growth. Store automation is the product, and the lower marketing rate wins as volume grows.
- Utility-heavy sender (clinic reminders, delivery updates, OTPs): AiSensy, which has the lower plan fee and lower utility rate.
- Team that needs a chatbot from day one: compare AiSensy Basic plus the ₹2,500 chatbot add-on (₹4,000) against Interakt Growth (₹2,799) with its included automations.
- Business sending under a few thousand messages a month that resents any plan fee: consider a ₹0-plan provider, below.
Where RichAutomate fits (a fair alternative)
RichAutomate is a third Meta-approved option with a different structure: no compulsory monthly plan. On Client Pay you connect your own Meta billing, Meta charges you its rate directly, and we add ₹0.10 per message, about ₹0.96 per marketing message and ₹0.215 per utility message, with ₹0 setup. Optional plans (Starter ₹499, Pro ₹899, White-label ₹1,199 a month) add team seats and features. You get a team inbox, broadcasts and a visual flow builder.
Honest trade-offs: our utility rate (₹0.215) is higher than AiSensy's ₹0.145 and Interakt's ₹0.140–₹0.150, so a utility-only sender should price that carefully. Interakt's Shopify automation is deeper than ours. Where we tend to come out ahead is marketing-heavy volume without a plan fee: ₹9,631 at 10,000 marketing messages against ₹12,379–₹12,400 for the two entry plans. Interakt Advanced only becomes cheaper than Client Pay above about 2.7 lakh marketing messages a month. The head-to-heads are in Interakt vs RichAutomate and AiSensy vs RichAutomate, and current plans are on our pricing page.
Switching between Interakt and AiSensy
Your WhatsApp Business Account and green tick live with Meta, not with the provider, so you keep your number when you switch. The usual sequence:
- Export contacts, tags and opt-in records from the old provider. Keep the opt-in proof for DPDP purposes.
- Check that your quality rating is healthy before you move.
- Pick a low-traffic window and connect the number to the new provider through Meta's embedded signup.
- Re-submit templates; previously approved copy usually clears review quickly.
- Rebuild flows and integrations, then send a test to your own number before the first live campaign.
A full checklist is in our guide to migrating WhatsApp BSPs in India.
Bottom line
AiSensy is the cheaper pick below about 10,000 marketing messages a month and for utility-heavy traffic; Interakt is the cheaper pick above that, and the stronger product for Shopify stores. Check both live pricing pages, model your real mix, and remember that the plan fee matters more than the per-message rate at low volume.
