The public page lists Basic at ₹1,500 per month, Pro at ₹3,200, and Premium at ₹9,100. Message credits are prepaid separately. The chatbot builder is ₹2,500 per month for five chatbots, so include it only when the workflow requires that product.
WhatsApp message credits are prepaid and managed separately from the platform subscription.
The chatbot builder is a separate ₹2,500 monthly add-on for five chatbots.
Plan limits and optional builders should be included in the total-cost comparison.
Advanced attributes and tags vary by plan.
Do not repeat the old markup comparison.
AiSensy lists ₹1.09 marketing and ₹0.145 utility and authentication for India and attributes those values to Meta from 1 January 2026. An older Meta baseline produced a misleading percentage. Verify Meta's downloadable rate card before calculating any current difference.
