Linkubit vs DelightChat (2026): what each one does, what each adds to Meta's rate, and which to choose
DelightChat: A customer-support inbox and WhatsApp marketing tool with plans sized by support tickets and marketing contacts, plus WhatsApp charges on top. Linkubit: an AI salesperson that answers, qualifies, quotes from your catalogue and takes the payment, on WhatsApp, email, Instagram and Messenger.
The difference is what happens after a customer writes. Linkubit's AI answers as a salesperson — it qualifies, quotes only from your catalogue, keeps your rules in code and takes the payment in the chat — on every plan, with WhatsApp at Meta's rate and nothing added. DelightChat is the better choice if a support team that wants a shared inbox across WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook with a ticket allowance. Every figure below is from DelightChat's own pages, dated.
What's different
Six things Linkubit does, each beside what DelightChat’s own pages say about the same thing. Where those pages say nothing, the line says so rather than guessing.
An AI salesperson, not a flow builder
It reads the enquiry, answers in the customer's language — a Hindi voice note included — asks the qualifying questions you set, moves the lead through your stages and opens a priced deal. Nobody draws a flowchart, and it is on every plan, including Free.
DelightChat: No AI. The plan cards read describe a support inbox, marketing and tickets; they do not describe an AI agent.
Quotes only what your catalogue says
A price it states is read from your catalogue or your documents; a unit price the catalogue does not carry, or a price with no source behind it, is refused before the reply leaves. Deal values and payment requests come from the same list, never from a number typed in the chat.

Rules enforced in code, with a human one step away
A gate runs before every action and every send — no discounts, no promises outside the catalogue, hand a refund to a person — and a verifier reads every reply. Anything the agent may not do is refused in code, not in a prompt; a rule it would like changed becomes a request for a human, never a change.

One customer, one record, four channels
WhatsApp, email, Instagram DM and Messenger (the last two from Pro) arrive in one inbox on one contact — the person who clicked an Instagram ad, wrote on WhatsApp and replied by email is one record with one history, one owner and one pipeline card.
DelightChat: Channels its site lists: WhatsApp Business API, Instagram (DMs, comments), Facebook Messenger.
The payment happens in the chat
A UPI or card request inside WhatsApp, or a Razorpay link from your own account, at the catalogue price. The money goes to you; Linkubit never holds it. The deal closes itself when the payment lands.
DelightChat: Not described on the plan cards.
Ads that lead to WhatsApp, built and measured in the same place
Click-to-WhatsApp, lead-form, Google Search and Performance Max campaigns are created from the product — paused until you switch them on — and every lead carries the ad it came from. Qualified leads and won deals are reported back to Meta and Google, so the ad platforms learn from your pipeline, not from clicks.
