| Provider | 10,000 marketing messages | 50,000 marketing messages |
|---|---|---|
| Wati Growth | ₹2,699 + template charges; with Meta's ₹8,631 as the floor, at least ₹11,330 | ₹2,699 + template charges; at least ₹45,854 |
| Interakt Growth | ₹2,799 + 10,000 × ₹0.949–₹0.970 = ₹12,289–₹12,499 | ₹2,799 + 50,000 × ₹0.949–₹0.970 = ₹50,249–₹51,299 |
| RichAutomate Client Pay | ₹8,631 Meta + ₹1,000 fee = ₹9,631 | ₹43,155 Meta + ₹5,000 fee = ₹48,155 |
| RichAutomate SaaS Pay | 10,000 × ₹1.50 = ₹15,000 | 50,000 × ₹1.50 = ₹75,000 |
How to read this: Wati's line is a floor because its per-template charge was not re-checked; whatever Wati adds per message sits on top of ₹11,330. Interakt's range is exact from its published rates. RichAutomate Client Pay is lower at both volumes, but Interakt at its lowest ₹0.949 rate overtakes it above about 1.99 lakh marketing messages a month, because its per-message charge is ₹0.0141 lower than our ₹0.9631 once the ₹2,799 plan is spread thin. SaaS Pay is the most expensive line; it bundles Meta's fee into one GST-inclusive rupee invoice.
