How each one charges
| Adswadi | AiSensy (as listed 20 Oct 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | Free ₹0, Starter ₹999, Agency ₹1,999 and Growth ₹3,499 a month, plus 18% GST. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. | An "Unlimited Users" plan with unlimited contacts, where you pay for the messages you send |

Once you send volume, the per-message rate matters more than the plan fee. Five thousand marketing messages at ₹0.86 is about ₹4,300 before GST; at ₹1.09 it is about ₹5,450. Our guide to WhatsApp API pricing in India explains Meta's rates, so you can compare any platform against them.
Where Adswadi is different
- Flat monthly plans, and Meta's rate on messages. You pay Meta directly, so the cost of a campaign is the same number Meta publishes.
- Built for agencies. On the Agency plan, agents see only the chats assigned to them and never see a client's phone number, and the owner gets a Team Performance page with first-response and reply times.
- Safeguards for your number. Customers who reply STOP are opted out automatically, imports ask you to confirm consent, sending is paced to your messaging tier, a campaign pauses itself if Meta restricts the number, and you get alerts when quality or your limit drops. See why numbers get banned.
- Coexistence. Keep using the WhatsApp Business app on the same number — see how coexistence works.
- A visual [chatbot flow builder](/features/automation-flows) with buttons, list menus, questions, tags and hand-over to a teammate, and an Android app for the team inbox.
Where AiSensy may suit you better
Adswadi does not have an AI agent or native Shopify, WooCommerce or CRM integrations yet. AiSensy lists an AI agent add-on on its pricing page. If an AI agent or a store integration is a must-have for you this month, check what AiSensy offers today and compare it with what you would build around Adswadi.
How to choose between them
- Estimate your monthly messages first. Meta's rate card is the starting point — about ₹0.86 per marketing message and ₹0.115 per utility message in India in October 2026, before GST. Ask each platform whether its per-message rate is Meta's rate or its own.
- Count the people who will use the inbox. Check whether seats are included, charged per user, or capped, and whether you can limit what an agent sees.
- List the integrations you need today, not someday — an online store, a CRM, an AI agent. Adswadi has none of these yet.
- Look at how the platform protects your number: opt-out handling, limits on sending speed, and alerts when your quality rating drops. A banned number costs more than any plan.
- Use the free trial with your own number and a small real campaign before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
Is Adswadi cheaper than AiSensy?
It depends on how many messages you send and what you need. Adswadi charges a flat monthly plan, and Meta bills your messages to you directly at Meta's rates. AiSensy lists its own per-message rates and paid add-ons. Work out your monthly cost from your own message count rather than from the plan fee alone.
Can I move my number from AiSensy to Adswadi?
Usually yes, but the number has to be connected to a WhatsApp Business Account you control, which normally means disconnecting it from the other platform first. Templates belong to a WhatsApp Business Account, so you may need to create them again. Your contacts can be imported from a CSV file.
Does Adswadi have an AI chatbot or Shopify integration?
No. Adswadi has rule-based chatbot flows built visually, but no AI agent and no native Shopify, WooCommerce or CRM integrations today. If you need those now, check what the platform you choose offers.
Does Adswadi add a fee on top of WhatsApp message charges?
No. Meta bills the template messages you send directly to the payment method on your own WhatsApp Business Account. Adswadi's price is the monthly plan.
