An AiSensy alternative where the chatbot isn't an add-on

AiSensy's headline price looks low, ₹1,500/month for the Basic plan, but the drag-and-drop chatbot builder is a separate add-on at ₹2,500/month, and campaign scheduling sits on the ₹3,200/month Pro plan (checked August 2026). Growcord is the alternative that bundles the pieces: broadcasts with scheduling, no-code bot flows, a shared inbox and store automations on every paid plan, from ₹299/month or ₹99/month billed yearly on the official WhatsApp Cloud API.

Who each platform fits

Credit where due: AiSensy is one of India's best-known WhatsApp marketing platforms, and for pure broadcasters it's a reasonable pick. Unlimited broadcasting on both plans, no per-contact pricing, prepaid billing that keeps spend visible, ₹50 in free conversation credits to test, and a virtual-number add-on if you don't want to dedicate a SIM. If all you'll ever do is blast campaigns and reply manually, AiSensy's Basic plan does that job.

The catch is what happens when you want more than blasting. The chatbot builder is ₹2,500/month on top of any plan. Campaign scheduling, click tracking and smart agent routing need Pro at ₹3,200/month.

Basic caps you at 10 tags and 5 custom attributes, which serious segmentation outgrows quickly. Growcord's bet is different: the automation features are the product, not the upsell, bots, scheduling, tags, segments and pipelines ship in the base plans.

AiSensy pricing in 2026, as published

Checked August 2026 across aisensy.com and its help pages: Basic is ₹1,500/month, Pro is ₹3,200/month, Enterprise is custom. Plans include 1 owner plus 5 agent logins, with additional agents at ₹750/month each.

The drag-and-drop chatbot builder is ₹2,500/month (₹2,250/month billed yearly) for 5 chatbots, and the AI agent builder is a further ₹3,500/month. Per-conversation charges are prepaid: ₹1.09 for marketing and ₹0.145 for utility and authentication conversations, with service conversations free. Yearly billing saves 10%.

So the realistic "campaigns plus a bot" stack on AiSensy is ₹1,500 + ₹2,500 = ₹4,000/month before conversation charges, and ₹5,700/month if you want scheduling via Pro. That's the number to compare, not the ₹1,500 headline.

Cheaper than AiSensy once you count the add-ons

The comparison that matters is total monthly cost for the stack you'll actually run. Campaigns plus a chatbot plus scheduling on AiSensy means Pro at ₹3,200 plus the ₹2,500 bot add-on, ₹5,700/month, ₹68,400 a year, before conversation charges. On Growcord the same stack is the Basic plan: ₹299/month, or ₹1,188 a year billed yearly, with 200 included conversations a month; Startup at ₹399/month billed yearly covers 1,000 conversations.

Extra team members are ₹149/month against AiSensy's ₹750. Conversation charges land differently too: AiSensy prepays at its published ₹1.09 per marketing conversation, while Growcord charges Meta's own rate, roughly ₹0.78–0.88, with nothing added, and shows the campaign estimate before you press send. Full plan detail on the pricing page, and every subscription carries a 7-day money-back guarantee.

What that buys day to day: broadcast campaigns with scheduling and reports, the no-code chatbot builder, auto-replies, a shared team inbox, sales pipelines, and Shopify/WooCommerce automations like abandoned-cart recovery and COD confirmation.

For a Surat saree label that means Friday's new-arrivals broadcast going to the "bought twice" tag, a bot answering price questions at 11 pm, and the three enquiries worth chasing sitting in a pipeline on Monday morning, all inside one ₹299 plan.

Where AiSensy sits among its competitors

Same August 2026 check across the field: Wati lists Growth at ₹2,499/month with 3 users, Interakt at ₹2,799/month with branching bots on its ₹3,799 tier, Gallabox from ₹2,399/month billed yearly, and DoubleTick at ₹3,000/month on yearly billing. AiSensy's base plan undercuts those, its cost appears in the add-ons. The best WhatsApp marketing software guide compares them feature by feature.

Switching from AiSensy to Growcord

  1. Open a free account

    The free tier gives you 1 number and 50 conversations a month. Build a test flow in the bot builder, the thing that costs ₹2,500/month extra on AiSensy, and see if it covers your use case.

  2. Migrate your number

    Reconnect through Meta's embedded signup. Number, display name, quality rating and green tick stay with your WhatsApp Business Account; chat history doesn't transfer from any provider, so export what you need first.

  3. Import contacts with tags

    Export your AiSensy audience as CSV and import into Growcord. Tags come along and become the segments you broadcast to.

  4. Rebuild templates and schedule your first campaign

    Recreate templates and submit to Meta from the dashboard, then schedule a campaign to a small segment and watch the delivery report fill in.

Frequently asked questions

How much does AiSensy cost per month?

As of August 2026, AiSensy lists Basic at ₹1,500/month and Pro at ₹3,200/month, each with 1 owner and 5 agent logins (extra agents ₹750/month). The chatbot builder is a separate add-on at ₹2,500/month. Conversation charges are prepaid on top, ₹1.09 per marketing conversation and ₹0.145 for utility or authentication.

Is the AiSensy chatbot free?

No. AiSensy's drag-and-drop chatbot builder is a paid add-on at ₹2,500/month (₹2,250/month billed yearly) for 5 chatbots, on top of the plan fee, per its published pricing in August 2026. Growcord includes its no-code flow builder on every paid plan, which start at ₹299/month.

What is the best AiSensy alternative?

If you want campaigns, scheduling and a chatbot without add-on fees, Growcord bundles all three from ₹299/month (₹99/month billed yearly) on the official Cloud API, with a free tier to test. If your priority is a large marketing-agency ecosystem around the tool, AiSensy's own network is a genuine strength worth weighing.

Is Growcord cheaper than AiSensy?

For the full stack, yes. AiSensy Basic plus its chatbot add-on is ₹4,000/month; Growcord includes the bot builder in plans from ₹299/month (₹99/month billed yearly). AiSensy's bare Basic plan is cheaper than mid-tier rivals, but Meta conversation fees and add-ons decide the real bill, compare totals, not headlines.

Can I move my WhatsApp number from AiSensy to Growcord?

Yes. Connect the same number via Meta's embedded signup in Growcord; the number, display name, quality rating and green tick travel with your WhatsApp Business Account. Chat history won't migrate, that's true of every provider switch, so export anything important from AiSensy beforehand.

AiSensy says unlimited users, what does that mean?

AiSensy's "unlimited users" refers to your audience: there's no monthly-active-user pricing on contacts you message. Team logins are limited, plans include 1 owner plus 5 agent logins, and each additional agent is ₹750/month per its published pricing (August 2026). Growcord prices extra team members at ₹149/month.
