The alternatives
1. bananaleaf.ai — the AI-native CRM
An AI sales agent on your own WhatsApp number and Instagram account that answers from your price sheet, books appointments and writes the deal record, with a pipeline that moves itself. No public price; the plan is set per organisation. Not for you if you want a published rupee price and a plan with AI credits already inside it.
- The pipeline is on every plan, not only Advanced, and it writes itself from the chat.
- Bookings are native rather than a Calendly link; the assistant offers slots and books in the conversation.
- The assistant answers from your documents and price sheet; no flow to draw for each question.

How to choose
Ask each vendor for one monthly total: platform fee, extra users, the AI agent, and an estimated message bill at Meta's rates for your market. Then ask the two questions that separate an inbox from a CRM: who owns each lead, and what happens to a lead nobody answered.
Questions people ask
What is the best Gallabox alternative for a clinic or a small business?
It depends on what you need first: a published price and a shared inbox, or an AI agent with a pipeline and bookings. The list below gives each tool's own published price and what it does differently, so you can compare one monthly total.
Can I move my WhatsApp number from Gallabox?
Yes. Meta allows a WhatsApp Business number to move between providers; old chats stay on the old platform, so export what you need first.
What does Gallabox cost?
Its pricing page (opened 29 Oct 2026) lists Basic ₹2,999, Essential ₹6,999 and Advanced ₹16,999 a month on quarterly billing, less on annual billing, with Meta's message charges billed separately.
Does Gallabox have a CRM?
Lead pipeline management is listed on the Advanced plan. bananaleaf.ai includes the pipeline on every plan.
How do bookings work on each?
Gallabox lists a Calendly integration on Basic. bananaleaf.ai books into its own calendar from inside the chat.
