Company Profiles
Setup speed and pricing tell part of the story — here's what each company is actually built for.
Built on Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API, with onboarding and integration handled by our team. Go-live timing depends on Meta business verification and template review; zero setup or platform fees, and WhatsApp, Bulk SMS, RCS, IVR, and Voice all on one dashboard.
Best for: Indian businesses that want guided onboarding, India-based support, and the option to run SMS/RCS alongside WhatsApp without a second vendor.
A global CPaaS platform with a strong enterprise track record. Offers SMS alongside WhatsApp; pricing is custom-quote.
Best for: Large enterprises already inside Gupshup's ecosystem or needing its specific global CPaaS footprint.
An SME-focused WhatsApp platform with a clean dashboard, fixed monthly subscription starting ₹999+, WhatsApp-only (no SMS or RCS fallback).
Best for: Small businesses that only need WhatsApp.
A WhatsApp platform popular with Shopify and D2C e-commerce brands for its store integrations. Monthly subscription starts around ₹2,787 regardless of usage volume, and the platform is WhatsApp-only.
