What to compare (beyond the plan price)
- Per-message markup. Some tools charge more per message than Meta does. On 10,000 marketing messages a month, a ₹0.20 markup adds ₹2,000. Ask for the per-message price and compare it with Meta’s rate.
- Seats. Count everyone who will answer chats. A cheap plan with 3 seats becomes expensive when you add five more people.
- Add-ons. Chatbots, AI agents, Instagram, Shopify integration and extra flows are add-ons on some tools and included on others. Add them up.
- Ecommerce depth. For an online store, check abandoned cart recovery, COD confirmation, COD-to-prepaid, catalog and payments in chat, and order updates. Check WooCommerce support if you’re not on Shopify.
- Setup help. Getting the API number verified, templates approved and flows built is where most teams stall. Self-serve trials suit some teams; guided onboarding suits others.
- Billing terms. Monthly, quarterly or annual-only billing changes how much you risk if the tool isn’t right.
Which type of tool suits you
- Mostly broadcasts, small budget: a low-cost broadcast tool with a free plan.
- Big support team: a tool with unlimited or cheap seats.
- Sales and lead qualification: a tool built around AI lead flows.
- Online store on Shopify or WooCommerce: a commerce-first tool with cart, COD and payment flows included. That’s what Hello24 is built for.
