AiSensy
The pickWhatsApp marketing platform built on the official WhatsApp Business API for broadcasts, chatbots, and team inbox.
The case for
- Plans are published in rupees and the cheapest paid plan is low enough for a small Indian business to start without a sales call.
- Getting the WhatsApp Business API itself is free through AiSensy, and the Free Forever plan lets you set up the number and apply for the Blue Tick before paying anything.
- Every paid plan can be billed quarterly or yearly for a discount, and agents, chatbots and the AI agent can be added one at a time instead of forcing a bigger plan.
The catch
- The plan fee is only part of the bill: Meta's per-message charges come from a separate prepaid wallet, and marketing messages to Indian numbers are the costliest kind.
- Plan fees, conversation credits and add-ons are non-refundable, so an unused wallet balance or a misfired campaign does not come back.
- Since 1 October 2026 service replies, including chatbot and AI agent replies, are charged after 1,000 free per number a month, which raises the cost of busy support inboxes.
- Chatbot flows and the AI agent are paid add-ons on every plan, and scheduling, click tracking and role based access need Pro or higher, so the entry plan is thinner than it looks.
