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 for a CRM plan and can live with 100 AI messages a month on the add-on.
- The AI is not metered by a 100-message add-on; it answers every lead and writes the deal record as part of the plan.
- Bookings are built in; a demo, a site visit or a consultation lands on a calendar from inside the chat.
- The deal record fills itself from the conversation, so the pipeline is current without anyone typing.

Wati is a shared WhatsApp inbox and broadcast platform with a chatbot builder, a built-in CRM and a large integration list, sold on public plans.
- Pricing: Growth $59/month and Pro $119/month, billed annually; Business is custom. The page shows a dollar sign and does not name the currency (its own page, 25 October 2026).

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 Interakt 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 Interakt?
Yes. Meta allows a WhatsApp Business number to move between providers; old chats stay on the old platform, so export what you need first.
How much is Interakt's CRM?
Its pricing page lists Sales CRM at ₹2,499 a month with 5 agents, extra agents ₹499 each, and an AI Agents add-on at ₹2,499 a month with 100 AI messages (opened 29 Oct 2026).
Is bananaleaf.ai cheaper than Interakt?
We cannot say from public pages: bananaleaf.ai's plan is quoted per organisation. Compare one monthly total that includes users, the AI agent and your expected messages.
Does Interakt book appointments?
Its pricing page does not list booking. bananaleaf.ai has a built-in calendar the assistant books into.
