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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
