Dripo vs Interakt
Both run on the official WhatsApp Business API, so the messages, the templates and Meta’s per-conversation rates are the same either way. What differs is what the software around them costs and what it includes before you add anything on.

Choose Dripo when
- You want AI replies working from day one without a second subscription and a per-message meter.
- You answer on Messenger as well as WhatsApp and Instagram.
- The monthly software bill matters — the comparable tiers are ₹799 against ₹2,799.
- You want the pipeline and the inbox to be the same record, not two products.
Choose Interakt when
- You need more than one user on the cheapest paid plan — Dripo’s Starter is a single seat, and Interakt’s Growth is not.
- You are already running their Sales CRM and your team is trained on it.
- You want a free tier to sit on indefinitely, if Instagram alone is enough for now.
