Rcs messaging tools for Indian businesses
The 4 rcs messaging tools we track, with verified India pricing (forex-adjusted), honest trade-offs, and the caveats most directories skip.
Quick answer: of the 4 rcs messaging tools we track, 1 offer a free plan, and paid monthly plans run about ₹999–₹5,000 for a GST-registered business (after the card forex markup). The prices below are the India cost for a registered business, not the sticker. GST is extra if you cannot reclaim it.
| Tool | India price | Free plan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| CallHippo | ₹1,900/mo | Yes | Sales/support teams needing virtual numbers |
| Interakt | ₹999/mo | — | Indian D2C and e-commerce brands selling on WhatsApp |
| Gupshup | ₹5,000/mo | — | High-volume senders (fintech, NBFC, large D2C) doing 100k+ messages/month |
| Engati | — | — | SMBs wanting self-serve WhatsApp automation |
Prices are the entry plan converted to rupees at an effective card rate (mid-market plus the forex markup), the cost a GST-registered business nets. GST adds 18% if you cannot reclaim it, and some Indian vendors already include it. Indicative, not your exact bill. Confirm each plan on the vendor site.
