Should I use WATI, Interakt, AiSensy or Gupshup for WhatsApp marketing?

Interakt is the easiest starting point if you're on Shopify, clean interface, direct catalog sync, pricing from around Rs 999/month. WATI suits brands that want a fuller CRM plus chatbot layered on top and can pay more for it, AiSensy is the popular Indian pick with strong Hindi support and a genuinely free forever tier to start on. Gupshup is the most technical and most flexible, better suited to higher-volume senders with a developer on hand than a solo founder setting up their first broadcast.
