AiSensy vs Interakt: which one fits an Indian business?. Guide from WatsBerry.

Quick answers

Who wins AiSensy vs Interakt?: Neither wins for every Indian business. AiSensy is the usual pick for broadcasts and a free entry plan. Interakt is the usual pick for Shopify commerce flows. Compare your message mix before you treat either price card as cheaper.
Which is cheaper, AiSensy or Interakt?: On October 2026 public pages, AiSensy listed lower plan fees (about ₹1,500 and ₹3,200 a month) and marketing at ₹1.09. Interakt listed Growth at ₹2,799 and Advanced at ₹3,799 a month plus taxes, with marketing from ₹0.949 to ₹0.970. At low volume the plan fee matters more. At high marketing volume Interakt's listed rate was lower. Recheck both sites.
Which is better for Shopify?: Interakt's pricing page lists order updates, abandoned checkout reminders, winback, and a COD-to-prepaid flow. AiSensy also connects to Shopify, often through its chatbot add-on. If COD confirmation is a large share of orders, test that flow on the tool you might buy.

Decide between AiSensy and Interakt

1
Name the primary job
Broadcasts and ads, or Shopify commerce. If you need both plus bookings, add WatsBerry to the comparison instead of forcing a winner.
2
Read both pricing pages yourself
This article uses figures from October 2026 public pages. Cards change. Do not budget from a screenshot in a blog post alone.
3
Compare marketing rate and plan fee together
AiSensy listed a lower plan and a higher marketing rate. Interakt listed the reverse. Your volume picks the winner.
4
Check the Shopify flow you cannot live without
COD confirmation, abandoned checkout, and catalogue are different products. A logo that says Shopify is not the flow.
5
Pilot before you migrate templates
Share the number under Meta's account model only after the new templates and the payment method exist.

AiSensy vs Interakt in one paragraph

AiSensy vs Interakt is a real choice for Indian brands, and it is usually the wrong choice to make from a single monthly price.

AiSensy is typically shortlisted for broadcasts, Click-to-WhatsApp, and an easy start. Its public pricing page has led with a Free Forever plan, with paid plans described around ₹1,500 and ₹3,200 a month, and a listed marketing rate of ₹1.09 for Indian numbers. Chatbot and AI features have been sold as add-ons. Those figures are from the public page as checked for our AiSensy pricing and Interakt vs AiSensy guides in October 2026. Cards on that site load dynamically, so confirm them.

Interakt is typically shortlisted when WhatsApp is a Shopify channel: order updates, abandoned checkout, catalogue, and COD-to-prepaid. The same October check showed Growth at ₹2,799/month and Advanced at ₹3,799/month, plus taxes, with marketing messages from ₹0.970 down to ₹0.949 by plan.

If you want the Interakt-first write-up of the same pair, read Interakt vs AiSensy. This page starts from the AiSensy question.

What each public pricing page was offering

	AiSensy (public page, Oct 2026)	Interakt (public page, Oct 2026)
Entry	Free Forever plan	A starter tier. The price we could rely on was the paid Growth card

Meta's own India card from 1 October 2026 is ₹0.8631 marketing and ₹0.1150 utility, authentication, and service, taxes extra. Source: Meta pricing. Both vendor cards above were higher than that list rate on the day we read them. Hub: WhatsApp pricing change, October 2026.

Broadcasts versus Shopify, which is the actual product

If the brief is "we send offers and we run Click-to-WhatsApp ads," AiSensy is the tool people mean when they search this comparison. The free entry plan is platform packaging. It does not mean Meta stopped charging marketing templates. You still need a funded WhatsApp payment method.

If the brief is "Shopify is the shop, WhatsApp should confirm COD and chase the cart," Interakt's public feature list is closer. Look at Shopify cart recovery and COD confirmation as jobs, not as logos. A confirmation should stay a utility template. A discount nudge belongs in a separate marketing template.

A brand that does both, and also books consultations, will feel the gap in both tools. That is the case for a clinic that sells products, or a salon with a store. Forcing AiSensy vs Interakt to answer a booking problem produces a compromise.

A volume check, not a winner

Take a hypothetical month of 20,000 marketing messages. Using only the October list rates above:

AiSensy marketing line: 20,000 times ₹1.09 = ₹21,800, before the plan.
Interakt Growth marketing line, using ₹0.958: 20,000 times ₹0.958 = ₹19,160, before the ₹2,799 plan.
Meta list: 20,000 times ₹0.8631 = ₹17,262, before any software plan.

At that volume the per-message gap is larger than a small plan-fee gap. At 2,000 marketing messages the plan fee matters more, and a free or low entry plan can win even with a higher rate. Your mix decides. Do not treat this hypothetical as your invoice. Taxes, failed sends, and a different card on the day you buy will move it.

WatsBerry's software plans are separate from Meta's line because the markup on WhatsApp marketing is 0%. You still pay Meta. The plans are on pricing.

When WatsBerry is the third name, not a tie-break slogan

Put WatsBerry on the shortlist when all three of these are true:

You want the official Cloud API, not a Web inbox.
The team both replies and runs campaigns.
You also book (calendar) or you want Meta to invoice the message line directly.

Skip WatsBerry if ads operations inside AiSensy are the whole job and you have confirmed we do not ship that workflow on your plan, or if Interakt's Shopify bundle already matches the store and you will not use booking.

Switching between them

You can move from AiSensy to Interakt, or the other way, without giving up the phone number. Meta's account model lets you share the WhatsApp account. Conversations can continue. Templates do not move themselves. Copy them, or use Meta's template migration, and expect quality on the new copies to rebuild.

Export opt-in proof with the contacts. Set the new payment method before you send. Ask about unused prepaid credits before you close the old account.

Guide: migrate a WhatsApp number to another provider.
