Which one should you choose?
Choose WhatsGrow AI if…
- Your team closes deals in WhatsApp and needs a pipeline with stages, deal owners and tasks, not just a contact list.
- You want AI agents and a flow builder included in the plan instead of bought as separate add-ons.
- You need payments (Stripe or Razorpay links), calls or WhatsApp group handling in the same workspace.
- You want agent limits that scale in clear steps (3, 10, 50) rather than a base seat count plus a per-agent charge.
Choose AiSensy if…
- You mainly send broadcasts and have a small support team. AiSensy has a free-forever tier and its paid Basic plan is among the cheapest paid entries in this category.
- You want Indian rupee billing with a simple published per-message rate card (Rs. 1.09 marketing, Rs. 0.145 utility and authentication).
- You only need a few chatbot flows and can live with the add-on structure: Rs. 2,500 a month for the first 5 chatbots.
- You want a prepaid wallet so message spend cannot exceed what you have loaded.
AiSensy vs WhatsGrow AI pricing
AiSensy's own pricing page publishes the add-on prices and message rate card but not the base plan prices in the text we could read. The Basic and Pro figures below come from a third-party analysis dated 30 September 2026, so verify them on the live page before you buy. WhatsGrow AI prices are shown in your currency on our pricing page.

| Higher paid plan | Pro: Rs. 3,200/mo monthly, Rs. 2,880/mo yearly, owner plus 5 agents, before GST (third-party analysis) | Growth: 10 agents, 25,000 contacts, AI knowledge base, groups and calls, payments |

Is AiSensy cheaper than WhatsGrow AI?
For broadcast-only use, usually yes. AiSensy has a free tier, and the paid Basic plan is published by third parties at Rs. 1,500 a month before GST, with Rs. 1,350 on yearly billing. Nothing in our product beats a free plan for a team that sends a few campaigns.
The comparison changes once you add what AiSensy sells separately. The chatbot builder is Rs. 2,500 a month, the AI agent builder is Rs. 1,350 a month, and extra agents beyond the first five are Rs. 750 each per month in the third-party figures. A plan, a chatbot add-on and an AI add-on already adds up to more than the plan fee alone.
WhatsGrow AI includes flows and AI agents in each plan, so the number you see on the pricing page, in your currency, is the number you pay before Meta's message fees.
What does a team of 5 agents and 3,000 marketing messages a month cost in India?
Using AiSensy's published rates: 3,000 marketing messages at Rs. 1.09 is Rs. 3,270. A Basic plan covers the owner plus five agents at Rs. 1,500 monthly. That is about Rs. 4,770 a month before GST for broadcasts and an inbox. Add the Rs. 2,500 chatbot add-on and you are near Rs. 7,270. Add the Rs. 1,350 AI agent builder and the total is about Rs. 8,620.
On WhatsGrow AI, five agents fits the Growth plan (10 agents, 25,000 contacts), which already includes flows and AI agents. See pricing in your currency on our pricing page, then add Meta's per-message fees for the same 3,000 marketing messages, which Meta sets for every provider.
The honest read: if all you do is broadcast and nobody needs a chatbot, AiSensy comes out cheaper. If you want a bot and a pipeline, the gap closes quickly and the total is worth pricing line by line.
- AiSensy Basic: Rs. 1,500/mo plus 3,000 x Rs. 1.09 = Rs. 3,270, about Rs. 4,770 before GST.
- With the chatbot add-on: about Rs. 7,270. With the chatbot and AI agent add-ons: about Rs. 8,620.
- All AiSensy figures exclude 18% GST and assume monthly billing.
AiSensy vs WhatsGrow AI: AI chatbot differences
AiSensy sells two separate things. The drag-and-drop chatbot builder triggers on keywords, templates, QR codes and Meta ads, and handles cart and catalog sharing. The AI agent builder is a different add-on with a knowledge base, long-term user memory, tool calling and API integrations, capped at 1,000 AI messages a month.
WhatsGrow AI has the flow builder and the AI agent in the same product. The agent can use function calling to update contact fields, create tasks, move a deal in the pipeline and send a payment link, then hand the chat to a human.
The deciding question is volume. If you expect more than 1,000 AI-handled messages a month, read AiSensy's overage terms before you commit, because the page does not state what happens past the cap.
Does AiSensy have a CRM pipeline?
AiSensy's pricing page lists tags, attributes and segments (up to 500 tags, 100 attributes and 50 segments under fair use) and unlimited contact imports. It does not list a Kanban deal pipeline, and its own positioning is campaigns and chat automation.
WhatsGrow AI includes a Kanban pipeline with stages, deal values and owners attached to each conversation, plus tasks and custom fields. Starter has one pipeline, Growth five, Pro twenty.
If you sell through WhatsApp and need to see where each lead stands, you will end up maintaining that in a spreadsheet next to AiSensy. If your use case is announcements, offers and reminders, tags and segments are enough.
Which is better for Shopify and D2C brands in India?
AiSensy's chatbot add-on lists cart management, catalog sharing and a Shopify chatbot integration, and its rate card is simple, which suits a D2C brand running abandoned cart and offer broadcasts on a tight budget.
WhatsGrow AI includes an eCommerce industry pack on every plan with a Shopify connection, an AI agent that can take orders and search products, and Razorpay payment links on Growth and above.
For a small store with one person on WhatsApp, AiSensy's low entry cost is hard to argue with. For a store where customers ask about orders, sizes and payments all day, an AI agent that is part of the plan changes the maths.

Verdict
AiSensy is the better choice if broadcasts and a Click-to-WhatsApp ads manager are the whole job, at a low entry price with a free plan. WhatsGrow AI fits teams that also want AI agents, a deal pipeline, payment links and calling in one plan, instead of add-ons priced per month.
How to switch from AiSensy
- Export contacts from AiSensy with phone, name, tags and attributes, then import into WhatsGrow AI and map the attributes to custom fields.
- Note your top-performing campaign templates and recreate them in WhatsGrow AI. Templates belong to your WhatsApp Business Account, so check whether yours move with the number.
- Connect your number via Embedded Signup. A number sits with one provider at a time, so schedule the cutover outside campaign hours.
- Rebuild your chatbot triggers in the flow builder and train the AI agent on your FAQs, price lists and policies.
- Top up nothing new at AiSensy. Let the wallet balance run down, then cancel add-ons before their next billing date.
AiSensy vs WhatsGrow AI: FAQ
How much does AiSensy cost in India?
A third-party analysis dated 30 September 2026 lists Basic at Rs. 1,500 a month and Pro at Rs. 3,200 a month before GST, with yearly billing about 10% cheaper. AiSensy's own page lists add-ons: chatbots Rs. 2,500 a month and AI agents Rs. 1,350 a month. Message fees are prepaid.
Does AiSensy add a markup on WhatsApp message fees?
AiSensy says it charges nothing to procure the API and that conversation credits are charged by Meta. Its published rates are Rs. 1.09 for marketing and Rs. 0.145 for utility and authentication. One third-party estimate puts the marketing difference over Meta at roughly 26%, but that is unverified against Meta's rate card.
Does AiSensy have an AI chatbot?
Yes, as a paid add-on. The AI Agent Builder is Rs. 1,350 a month, or Rs. 1,215 billed annually, and includes 1,000 AI messages a month with a knowledge base, tool calling and user memory. The separate drag-and-drop chatbot builder is another add-on.
Are service replies still free on WhatsApp?
Meta lets non-template replies inside the 24-hour window stay free, and AiSensy states that from 1 October 2026 each number gets 1,000 free service messages a month, charged at Rs. 0.145 after that. Rules change, so check Meta's pricing page and your provider's rate card.
Can I move my WhatsApp number from AiSensy to WhatsGrow AI?
Generally yes. The number lives in your WhatsApp Business Account, and you reconnect it through Embedded Signup. Only one provider can hold the API connection at a time, so plan a short cutover, and expect to recreate message templates.
Is WhatsGrow AI free?
No. It has a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, then paid plans with 3, 10 or 50 agents. AiSensy does offer a free-forever tier limited to one agent, which is the right fit if you only need to try broadcasting.
How many agents does each tool support?
AiSensy's paid plans include the owner plus five agents in the third-party figures, with extra agents billed monthly and a stated fair-use ceiling of 200. WhatsGrow AI caps agents by plan, 3 on Starter, 10 on Growth and 50 on Pro, with no per-agent fee.
Who should stay on AiSensy?
Teams that mostly broadcast, have one or two people on chat and want the lowest possible monthly bill. If you are not building chatbots or tracking deals, you are paying for little you do not use. Move if you start needing a pipeline, an AI agent or payments.
