Build the AiSensy total from separate parts.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How much does AiSensy cost?

Its public page lists Free Forever, Basic at ₹1,500 per month, Pro at ₹3,200, and Premium at ₹9,100. Message credits and optional products such as the chatbot builder are separate.

Does AiSensy add a message markup?

Its current India figures align with the values it attributes to Meta from 1 January 2026. Do not use the older 26% claim; compare current provider and Meta rate cards from the same date.

Is the AiSensy chatbot builder included?

No. The public page lists the builder separately at ₹2,500 per month for five chatbots, or ₹2,250 per month when billed annually.

Does Waaru include AI today?

Yes. AI agents and MCP access are part of the approved launch release. AI is optional. Deterministic Logic Flows and the human inbox continue to work without a model.

Which is better for broadcasts?

AiSensy has the stronger mature campaign position and ecosystem. Waaru has queue-backed broadcasts with consent, opt-out, quality, and rate controls, but remains a newer product requiring launch verification.
