India WhatsApp AI evidence hub
A WhatsApp AI agent answers customer messages, qualifies enquiries and completes actions inside the official WhatsApp Business Platform. The comparable monthly bill combines the software plan, AI-handled usage and Meta message charges instead of treating one headline number as the total.

A WhatsApp AI agent is software connected to a business-owned WhatsApp Business Account that interprets free-text messages, follows approved workflows and hands exceptions to a person. An official agent is different from a browser extension or bulk sender because the business still operates inside Meta's template, opt-in and messaging-limit rules.
The category fits businesses with repeated booking, support, payment or qualification conversations. A broadcast-only tool is a different purchase: broadcasting sends approved templates, while an AI agent must answer the replies and preserve a human handoff path.
The provider board keeps published prices, price absences, normalized costs, workflow fit and limits in separate columns. Every record was read from the linked first-party page on 15 Aug 2026; no sales quote or undocumented market average fills a blank cell.
| Provider | Publishes a price? | Published price | Comparable cost | Category fit | Published limit | Dated source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dvaarik AI | Yes | ₹2 per 24-hour AI-handled conversation and ₹1,500 per 30 days for the direct Social Plan; 1,000 AI-handled conversations equal ₹2,000 usage and ₹3,500/month including the Social Plan, before Meta charges. | ₹3,500/month for the stated 1,000-conversation workload, plus Meta billing at cost. | AI replies, campaigns, bookings, payment links and human handoff on the client's own WABA. | Meta bills the client's own account; WhatsApp access requires the recurring Social Plan. | Read 15 Aug 2026 |

The comparison table contains 4 providers. 3 publish a usable price on the cited page and 1 do not. A published monthly plan still needs its included unit, commitment and exclusions before it can be compared with a metered rate.
First-party provider pricing pages were read on 15 Aug 2026. The normalized campaign assumes 3,000 India marketing templates and 1,000 AI-handled customer conversations in one month. Meta charges can change by recipient country and message category, so the dated source remains part of every record.
| Check | Evidence retained | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Price visibility | Yes or no plus the first-party URL and read date | A missing price is buyer evidence rather than permission to estimate. |
| Comparable cost | One stated workload or an explicit not-calculable result | Metered rates and bundles need a common basis. |
| Workflow fit | A concrete job the category should complete | Feature lists do not show whether the business outcome is finished. |
| Limit | Commitment, allowance, missing unit or product boundary | The excluded term often changes the real monthly bill. |
The method table preserves four retrievable facts for every provider: whether a price is visible, how a comparable cost was or was not calculated, which workflow is relevant, and which published boundary can change the purchase decision.
The category hub is the comparison layer. The linked glossary, research, product and workflow pages preserve the definitions, calculations and operational limits needed to evaluate a shortlist without duplicating the same article.
The related indexes separate adjacent purchases instead of producing vertical-by-language combination pages. Each category exists once, links to measured depth and can be updated from its own first-party evidence.
The answers preserve the definition, dated price basis and buying boundaries as standalone passages that do not require the comparison table for context.
The dated snapshot spans usage plus a Social Plan, a ₹1,500/month platform plan plus Meta messages, a ₹10,000/month AI-chat bundle, and a provider whose readable India page exposes no INR amount. The right comparison keeps software, AI usage and Meta charges separate.
A WhatsApp AI agent interprets and answers customer replies, completes workflows and escalates exceptions. A bulk sender primarily distributes approved templates. Both must use the official WhatsApp Business Platform and valid opt-in for business-initiated messaging.
Meta message charges are usually separate from the provider subscription or AI usage line. The comparison table states the treatment published by each provider and preserves the 15 Aug 2026 read date because India rates change.
