Comparing Interakt?
Start with who bills you.

Both give your team a shared WhatsApp inbox, and both are built for the Indian market. What separates them is who charges you for the conversations — and whether the WhatsApp account is yours.

Who charges you for the messages

Interakt’s pricing page states that WhatsApp conversation charges are billed by Interakt, priced by template category — marketing, authentication, utility and service.

Pingly works the other way for anyone who wants it: connect your own Meta Cloud API account and Meta bills you directly at their published rates. Pingly charges its subscription and takes nothing per message.

Whose WhatsApp account is it

When you bring your own Meta account, the WhatsApp Business Account and the phone number stay registered to your business. If you ever move to another tool, the number and its quality rating go with you — there is nothing to migrate out of.

How the own-account setup works

Or skip the API while you are still deciding

Pingly's WhatsApp Direct links a number by scanning a QR code, the way WhatsApp Web does — no Business API application, no approval wait, no per-message fee. It is a practical way to find out whether a shared inbox suits your team before committing.

About these figures

The Interakt details above were read from Interakt's own published pricing page in August 2026. Pricing and packaging change, and this page is a snapshot rather than a live feed — please check interakt.shop/pricing for their current terms before deciding. Pingly's own prices are on our pricing page. Interakt is a trademark of its respective owner; this comparison is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
