New: the Instagram inbox is now included free on every plan.
Four WhatsApp platforms that do Wati’s job in India: the plan you would need, the users it includes, the markup on every message and what each one is best at.
We make NudgeBolt, one of the options here. Every price comes from that vendor’s own pricing page, linked below and checked 28 October 2026. Each option, including Wati, gets what it does better.
All four are on Wati’s own pricing page. None of them is a reason to leave if they don’t affect you.
A fourth person on the team means Pro at ₹5,799 a month, with ₹1,299 for each user after five.
The INR plans are shown billed quarterly, so three months are paid up front.
The pricing page links to a rate card. Disclosed rates put marketing messages near ₹1.04, against Meta’s ₹0.8631.
One week is short to connect a number, get templates approved and see real replies.
Best for: Small teams who want Meta’s own message rate and AI included
Best for: Running Click-to-WhatsApp ads and taking payments in the chat
Best for: Large teams that need unlimited agent logins
Best for: AI voice and a web chat widget alongside WhatsApp
Each vendor’s plan that covers a shared inbox, flows and AI replies, including the add-ons it needs, plus marketing messages at that vendor’s India rate.
List prices checked 28 October 2026. Wati and Gallabox don’t print India message rates on their pricing pages; those rates are from BSP disclosures in our August 2026 research. Utility messages and replies are extra on every row. NudgeBolt’s fee is + GST, and Meta bills its messages to your own account.

If three users are enough, quarterly billing suits you and these matter more than the bill, Wati is a sound choice.
Your number, its quality rating and your templates belong to your Meta account, not to the platform. Moving to NudgeBolt is free on every paid plan, and we do it with you.
Contacts, tags and opt-in records as a file; your approved templates stay listed in your Meta account.
Your templates are re-checked and submitted under your own Meta account, before your next campaign.
Since October 2026 your number doesn’t move: you share it with NudgeBolt from your own Meta account, and it keeps its name, quality rating and chats.

It depends on what you are leaving Wati for. For more users and Meta’s own message rate, NudgeBolt Growth is ₹999 a month with 10 users and 0% added to messages. For Click-to-WhatsApp ads and in-chat payments, AiSensy. For unlimited agents, Interakt. For AI voice and a web chat widget, Gallabox.
At 20,000 marketing messages a month, the plan that covers inbox, flows and AI replies comes to ₹18,261 on NudgeBolt, against ₹23,499 on Wati, using each vendor’s own list prices checked 28 October 2026.
Yes. Since Meta’s account change in October 2026 the number stays in your own WhatsApp account and is shared with the new platform, so it keeps its display name, quality rating and chats, with no downtime. You can remove Wati once the new setup is running.
Templates belong to your Meta Business account. On NudgeBolt they are re-checked and submitted under your own account, and migration is free on every paid plan.
We make NudgeBolt, so read it knowing that. Every price is from each vendor’s own pricing page with a link, Wati’s strengths are listed below, and each option says what it is best for, including the ones that are not us.
Same messages, same team, on NudgeBolt at Meta’s rate — before you decide anything.
Product updates, Meta pricing changes and short how-tos. Your number stays private; mute or unfollow anytime.
