What is the biggest difference between PostEngage.ai and Interakt?

Pricing model and AI capability. Interakt charges ₹1,999/mo for Growth (basic chatbots) or ₹4,499/mo for Pro (integrations unlocked) — flat subscription regardless of usage. PostEngage.ai keeps keyword-trigger auto-replies free forever and bills only AI-personalised replies per credit consumed.

Is PostEngage cheaper than Interakt for SMBs?

For most SMBs, yes — substantially. Interakt Growth costs ₹23,988/year (Pro: ₹53,988/year). The same usage pattern on PostEngage typically costs under ₹6,000/year including Meta conversation fees and a modest AI credit top-up.

Does PostEngage have all the integrations Interakt Pro has?

PostEngage includes Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot, Zoho, Razorpay, and Zapier in every tier — including free. Interakt locks most of these behind the ₹4,499/mo Pro plan.

Are templates and broadcasts the same?

Yes — both platforms use Meta's template approval workflow. Broadcasts, opt-in management, click-to-WhatsApp ads, and segmentation are available on both.

How is team management different?

Interakt includes 5 team seats with Growth and scales per-user beyond that. PostEngage offers unlimited seats on every tier including free.

Does PostEngage have AI replies that Interakt does not?

Yes. PostEngage AI replies are trained on your brand voice and handle off-script messages. Interakt is a rule-based chatbot builder without native AI brand-voice training.

Can I migrate from Interakt to PostEngage without disruption?

Yes. Disconnect the WABA from Interakt in Meta Business Manager, reconnect to PostEngage, import contacts via CSV. Templates persist in Meta's system.

Both platforms claim INR billing — what is different?

Both bill in INR. The difference is what you pay for: Interakt charges flat subscription, PostEngage charges only for AI usage with keyword automation free. UPI, RuPay, and local cards work on both.
