Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Shortlist Meya if you have a developer who will own a support bot in code and you need deep helpdesk handoff and a custom chat UI. Before paying, confirm your monthly active user count, since overage is billed per user and events also count toward it, and check whether your traffic fits a staging app or needs the Pro production app.
Read the full verdict
Indian buyers are invoiced in US dollars by a Canadian company, taxes are excluded, and there is no GST wording, so expect forex charges and reverse charge GST on your side. The terms allow no refunds and auto renew unless you email notice 30 days before term end. Against no code bot builders, Meya trades setup speed for control; the thin recent product activity on its site is worth raising with sales.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 6 public sources visible for buyer verification.
In short
Meya AI is listed under Developer Tools, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹9,617/mo for a GST-registered business ($99/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for dev teams building custom support bots; a poor fit for small businesses wanting a cheap live chatbot, because higher volume production use starts at the Pro plan.

Registered business, per month
₹9,617
Meya AI advertises $99/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹9,617 a month (₹1,15,408/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹11,348 a month.

- Plans are flat fees in US dollars plus per monthly active user overage; Dev is monthly only, while Pro and Partner are about a fifth cheaper when billed annually.
More
Subscriptions auto renew unless cancelled by email 30 days before the term ends, there are no refunds for partial or unused months, and fees exclude all taxes. A monthly active user also counts as every 200 events, so a chatty bot can bill more users than it actually serves.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.
What is Meya AI?
Meya is a chatbot platform run by Locl Interactive Inc., a company in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Developers build customer support bots in BFML, a YAML based flow language, and in Python, using a browser console, a visual flow editor or a local IDE, and deploy separate dev, staging and production apps. It ships its own web and mobile chat UI and hands conversations to human agents in helpdesks such as Zendesk, Salesforce, Front, Intercom and Freshchat. A MeyaGPT mode builds a ChatGPT style bot by crawling a website. Usage is metered by monthly active users, the cheapest plan has no production app, and the public site and blog show little visible product news since 2024.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- The 14 day trial needs no card, so a developer can build against the real console before committing any spend
- Overage rates are published per monthly active user and fall as volume grows, so growth cost can be modelled in advance
- Bots hand off to Zendesk, Salesforce, Front, Intercom and Freshchat, with the vendor's own web and mobile chat UI included
The catch
- The cheapest plan has no production app; the vendor positions dev and staging apps for low volume bots, so busier or spiky traffic needs the much pricier Pro plan
- Invoiced in US dollars by a Canadian company with taxes excluded and no GST wording, so Indian buyers carry forex cost and reverse charge GST
- No refunds for unused months and subscriptions auto renew unless cancelled by email 30 days before the term ends
- The public site shows little recent activity: no blog posts since 2021, a 2024 copyright, and MeyaGPT still cites an older OpenAI model
Best for
- Dev teams building custom support bots
- Companies needing code-level bot control
- Teams wanting bot plus human handoff
Who should avoid it
- Small businesses wanting a cheap live chatbot, because higher volume production use starts at the Pro plan
- Non technical teams who want the full platform, since anything beyond the MeyaGPT quick bot assumes flows written in code

Meya AI questions
Does Meya AI give a GST invoice in India?
- Meya AI does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
Is Meya AI good for Indian small businesses?
- It suits dev teams building custom support bots. It bills in a foreign currency with no India GST invoice, so expect the card forex markup and reverse-charge GST paperwork. It is not the right pick for small businesses wanting a cheap live chatbot, because higher volume production use starts at the Pro plan.
Does Meya AI have a free plan?
- Meya AI does not list a permanent free plan in FindThatSoftware data. Check the official pricing page for trial terms and current offers.
