A Gallabox alternative without the 3-user ceiling

Gallabox's Basic plan is ₹2,999/month billed quarterly, ₹2,399/month billed yearly, with a hard cap of 3 users and 5 active chatbot flows, and its lead-pipeline feature only appears on the ₹13,599/month Advanced plan (checked August 2026). Growcord is the alternative for teams that want the essentials cheaper: campaigns, no-code bot flows, a shared inbox and sales pipelines from ₹299/month, or ₹99/month billed yearly, with extra members at ₹149/month.

Who each platform fits

Being fair to Gallabox first: it has leaned hard into AI, and if that's what you're shopping for, it delivers a lot, AI agents on web, WhatsApp and Instagram, an AI copilot inside the inbox, voice agents on the Advanced plan, drip sequences, appointment booking and bundled AI credits on every tier.

Businesses with the budget and the intent to put an AI agent in front of customers will find real substance there, not just a label.

Growcord fits a different buyer: the Indian small business that wants the official WhatsApp API for campaigns, a rule-based bot, a team inbox and store automations, and wants the monthly bill to stay boring.

No AI agents, no AI credits to meter; a flow builder your team configures, plus the ecommerce automations that do most of the revenue work anyway. If the AI layer is why you're here, Gallabox is the better match. If it isn't, you may be paying for it anyway.

Gallabox pricing in 2026, as published

Checked August 2026 on gallabox.com: Basic is ₹2,999/month billed quarterly or ₹2,399/month billed yearly, capped at 3 users with 5 active chatbot flows and 500 AI credits. Essential is ₹6,999/month quarterly or ₹5,599/month yearly with 6 users, then ₹1,200/month per extra user.

Advanced is ₹16,999/month quarterly or ₹13,599/month yearly with 10 users (₹1,500 per extra), and is where lead-pipeline management and AI voice agents live. Enterprise is custom. WhatsApp conversation fees are billed separately, and Gallabox notes a discounted markup for Enterprise plans, which implies the standard plans carry one, as most providers do.

Two structural things to notice: the 3-user cap on Basic is hard, there's no paid way around it short of the ₹5,599/month tier, and pipelines, a daily-use sales feature, require the ₹13,599/month plan.

Gallabox vs Growcord: the yearly math

Gallabox Basic on yearly billing is ₹2,399 × 12 = ₹28,788 a year for at most 3 users. Growcord Basic billed yearly is ₹1,188 a year with 200 included conversations a month; add two extra team members at ₹149 each and you're at ₹4,764 a year for five people, seat growth Gallabox Basic simply doesn't allow.

Startup at ₹399/month billed yearly (₹4,788/year) covers 1,000 conversations a month, and extra conversation blocks are ₹399 per 1,000. Meta's per-conversation charges apply on both platforms, but Growcord adds nothing to Meta's rate, it earns on the subscription, not on your traffic, and shows the credit estimate before every send. Subscriptions carry a 7-day money-back guarantee. The pricing page has each plan and add-on in one table.

Feature-for-feature on the daily essentials, nothing is gated unusually high: campaigns with scheduling, the no-code chatbot, the shared team inbox, contacts with tags and segments, and sales pipelines all sit in the base paid plans, with Shopify, WooCommerce, Zapier and webhook integrations included.

Gallabox competitors, quickly compared

On the same August 2026 check: Wati lists its Growth plan at ₹2,499/month with 3 users, Interakt at ₹2,799/month plus taxes, AiSensy at ₹1,500/month with the chatbot as a ₹2,500 add-on, and DoubleTick at ₹3,000/month billed yearly.

Gallabox's entry price sits mid-pack; its jumps between tiers are the steepest. All are official API providers, so the deliverability layer is identical, compare where each one puts its plan walls. The providers round-up goes deeper.

Switching from Gallabox to Growcord

    The free tier includes 1 number and 50 conversations a month. Recreate your most-used Gallabox flow in the bot builder to confirm the logic ports over cleanly.

  2. Move your WhatsApp number

    Reconnect via Meta's embedded signup. Your number, display name, quality rating and green tick belong to your WhatsApp Business Account and move with it; chat history doesn't transfer from any provider, so export it first.

    Export contacts from Gallabox as CSV and import with tags. Recreate templates and submit to Meta from inside Growcord, approvals usually clear in minutes to hours.

  4. Reconnect integrations and go live

    Point Shopify, WooCommerce, Zapier or your webhooks at Growcord, switch on the store automations, and send a test campaign to a small segment.

Worth checking before you switch from Gallabox

  • Export chats you're required to keep, history doesn't migrate between providers

  • List your active Gallabox flows; rebuild the top two on Growcord's free tier first

  • Note your current Meta quality rating and messaging tier, both carry over with the number

  • Time the move for a quiet week, not mid-campaign

  • Reconfirm opt-in records are in your contact export, not just in the old tool

Frequently asked questions

How much does Gallabox cost per month?

As of August 2026, Gallabox lists Basic at ₹2,999/month billed quarterly or ₹2,399/month billed yearly (3 users), Essential at ₹6,999/₹5,599 (6 users, extra ₹1,200 each), and Advanced at ₹16,999/₹13,599 (10 users). WhatsApp conversation fees are billed separately on top of every plan.

Can more than 3 people use Gallabox's Basic plan?

No, Gallabox's published pricing caps Basic at 3 users with no per-seat add-on; the next step is Essential at ₹5,599/month billed yearly (checked August 2026). Growcord handles seats as a ₹149/month add-on on any paid plan, so a growing team doesn't force a tier jump.

What is the best Gallabox alternative?

For teams that want campaigns, a chatbot, a shared inbox and pipelines without a ₹2,399/month floor, Growcord starts at ₹299/month (₹99/month billed yearly) on the official Cloud API. If Gallabox's AI agents and inbox copilot are the features you actually want, its closest peers are higher-priced AI-focused suites, not budget platforms.

Gallabox vs Growcord, which is cheaper?

Growcord, on platform fees: ₹1,188 a year on Basic billed yearly versus Gallabox Basic at ₹28,788 a year billed yearly (August 2026 listed prices). Both add Meta's conversation charges. The gap partly reflects scope, Gallabox bundles AI agents and credits; Growcord keeps to rule-based automation and charges accordingly.

Can I move my WhatsApp number from Gallabox to Growcord?

Yes. Reconnect the number through Meta's embedded signup in Growcord. The number, display name, quality rating and green tick stay with your WhatsApp Business Account. Chat history doesn't move between providers, so export any conversations you need from Gallabox before switching.

Does Growcord have AI agents like Gallabox?

No. Growcord's automation is rule-based: a no-code flow builder, auto-replies, and ecommerce triggers like abandoned-cart and COD confirmation. There are no AI agents or AI credits to buy. If a conversational AI agent is a requirement, Gallabox is the stronger fit; if predictable flows cover your use case, you avoid paying for AI features you won't use.
