Rechlio vs Interakt
Both run WhatsApp campaigns and both give a team a shared inbox. The difference that actually changes your bill is structural rather than featural: whether a platform sits between you and Meta and sets the per-message price, or whether Meta bills you directly.
The one real difference
Interakt publishes both a monthly subscription and its own per-message prices, so the amount you pay per message is set by Interakt. Rechlio sits outside that path entirely: you connect your own WhatsApp Business account and Meta bills you, with ₹0 added by Rechlio.
That is not a claim that one is cheaper. It is a claim about who sets the number, which you can check from their published rates below and ours on the pricing page.

Why the platform fee is ₹0
Rechlio is a Meta Tech Provider. You connect your own WhatsApp Business account through Meta’s embedded signup, Meta bills you for conversations at their rates, and Rechlio adds nothing per message. What that means in practice, including the rules that come with it.
The other difference
Interakt begins once you have the contacts. Rechlio begins before that: you can search Indian businesses by industry and city, score them against a description of your company, and message the ones worth messaging — all in the same product.
Whether that matters depends entirely on whether you already have a list. If your contacts come from your own customers and your own enquiries, it is irrelevant. If you are trying to reach businesses you have not met, it is the whole job. Try the search — no account needed.
When Interakt is the better choice
- You already have your contacts and you only need WhatsApp. Discovery is the half of Rechlio you would not use.
- You want Instagram alongside WhatsApp in one inbox. Rechlio does not do Instagram.
- You want a predictable monthly bill more than you want per-action pricing. A subscription is easier to budget than usage.
- You want a packaged sales CRM as a separate product rather than an inbox with a pipeline in it.
When Rechlio is
- You need to find the businesses, not just message ones you already know.
- You want more than WhatsApp — email, SMS and AI voice calls in the same campaign.
- Your volume is uneven, and paying for what you use beats paying a flat monthly fee in the quiet months.
- You would rather Meta billed you directly than have a platform set your per-message price.
Questions
- Is Rechlio cheaper than Interakt?
- It depends on what Meta charges you, and Rechlio does not know that figure — Meta bills you directly at rates that vary by conversation category and country. What can be said precisely: Interakt publishes both a monthly subscription and its own per-message prices, and Rechlio adds ₹0 per WhatsApp message. Whether the total is lower for you depends on your volume and Meta’s rate. The cost calculator will do the arithmetic with your numbers.
- Can I move my WhatsApp number from Interakt to Rechlio?
- Migrating a number between WhatsApp Business Solution Providers is a Meta process, not something either platform grants or refuses. Your number, your WhatsApp Business account and its quality rating are yours. What is worth checking before any migration is where your conversation history lives, since that does not move with the number.
- Does Rechlio have a sales CRM like Interakt’s separate product?
- Not a standalone one. There is a shared WhatsApp inbox with statuses, labels, assignment, private notes and a six-stage deal pipeline — described in full here — included rather than sold separately. If you need a CRM of record with forecasting and territories, neither of these is that.
This page is written by Rechlio, so read it as one side of a comparison. Every figure attributed to Interakt comes from their own published pricing, is dated, and is linked above — nothing here is sourced from a review site or an affiliate roundup, and nothing is estimated.
Where Interakt does not publish a figure, this page says so rather than filling the gap. Interakt is a real product with real customers; for plenty of businesses it is the better fit, and the sections below say which ones.
