How to choose

What it charges per WhatsApp message
Meta's India rate is ₹0.8631 per marketing message and ₹0.115 per utility message before GST. Some tools pass this through at cost; others list a higher per-message price. At a few thousand messages a month the difference can outweigh the plan price.
Who builds the chatbot
Most tools give you a flow builder and leave the rest to you. If nobody on your team has time to write menus, replies and follow-ups, a done-for-you setup gets you live faster.
How you pay
Check whether monthly billing exists, or whether you must pay a quarter or a year upfront, and whether there is a setup fee or a minimum term.
Team size and channels
Count how many people will reply, and whether you also need Instagram or a website chat widget in the same inbox. Seat limits and extra-user prices differ a lot.
Integrations you already use
If you run a Shopify or WooCommerce store, collect payments through Razorpay, or keep leads in Zoho, check the tool connects to it out of the box.
