Wati vs AiSensy vs Interakt: pricing, message rates, AI and limits compared, and when none of the three fits

The three, in one table

Pricing: what the subscription buys

Wati's Growth at ₹2,999 covers 3 users, no additional users with 15k broadcasts a month, 1,000 automation triggers, 2 integrations; ₹2,699 a month billed quarterly; Pro at ₹6,499 adds unlimited broadcasts, advanced chatbots, 2,000 triggers, 5 integrations; ₹5,799 a month billed quarterly. AiSensy's Basic at ₹1,500 is 1 owner + 5 agents, extra ₹750 each for broadcasting, retargeting, shared inbox, 40 messages a second. Interakt's Growth at ₹2,799 plus taxes gives unlimited agents and whatsapp + instagram, advanced workflows, catalog templates; plus taxes. On subscription alone Interakt is the cheapest way to put many agents on one number; AiSensy is the cheapest way to start broadcasting; Wati is the most expensive of the three to start.

Pricing: what the messages cost

This is the line that decides the bill and the one the plan pages say least about. All three bill you for Meta's messages on their own rate card, not Meta's published one — Wati's page says "charged based on WATI rate card", and AiSensy and Interakt route billing the same way. Meta's own India rates are ₹0.8631 for a marketing template and ₹0.115 for a utility one, before GST, and from 1 October 2026 ₹0.115 for a reply inside the window. Ask each provider for its rate card in writing and compare it to Meta's; the difference, times your monthly volume, is the number to put beside the subscription.

AI: a builder, or a salesperson

All three sell a chatbot: a flow you draw, with buttons and branches, that answers what you predicted. Wati sells AI agents as an add-on priced separately and includes some "co-pilot" credits by plan; AiSensy and Interakt add AI on top of their flow builders. None of the three is built to do what a salesperson does — read the question that was actually asked, ask for the missing detail, quote a real price from your list, and hand over when a rule says so. If the job is answering FAQs and routing, any of them will do it; if the job is closing enquiries, that is a different product. The AI agent vs chatbot guide is the distinction in full.

Limits, channels and connectors

• Wati has the widest channel list of the three — WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, TikTok, website widget, WhatsApp Business Calling — and the Shopify, Salesforce and HubSpot connectors; its top plan is built for very high broadcast throughput.
• AiSensy is WhatsApp-first with retargeting and campaign analytics, and states message-per-second throughput by plan.
• Interakt pairs WhatsApp with Instagram and RCS, offers unlimited agents on every paid plan, and splits its Sales CRM into a separate product at ₹2,499.

Who each one suits

• Wati: A marketing team that mainly sends broadcasts, wants Shopify and HubSpot connectors out of the box, and has a person to build the chatbot flows.
• AiSensy: A marketer who wants to run large WhatsApp broadcasts and Click-to-WhatsApp ads from one screen, with agents added as the team grows.
• Interakt: An Indian D2C brand on Shopify that wants WhatsApp and Instagram marketing with a Jio-backed provider, and is happy to buy the CRM as a second product.

When none of the three fits

If the reason you are looking is that enquiries arrive faster than they are answered, quotes go out late, and nobody follows up — the problem is not broadcasting, and a flow builder will not solve it. Linkubit is built for that job: an AI salesperson that answers in the first minute, qualifies on your questions, quotes only from your catalogue, takes the payment in the chat and hands over on a rule, on every plan from ₹0, with Meta's messages billed by Meta at Meta's rate and nothing added. It is ours, so weigh that; the comparison pages hold each claim to a dated source.
