Watx vs Interakt
Interakt is an India-based WhatsApp Business API platform with a strong focus on D2C and e-commerce workflows, and is part of the Jio Haptik group.
If your whole business is a storefront, a commerce-shaped platform fits neatly. The question is what happens when it is not — when the same number also has to run bookings, qualify leads, answer support, or serve a second brand. Watx is built as a general customer-engagement desk that happens to do commerce, rather than a commerce tool that happens to have an inbox.
No card required. Keep the WhatsApp Business app on your number while you try it.
What this page will and will not claim
We state what Watx does, and you can check every line of it against our pricing and features pages. We do not publish Interakt's prices or a list of things we say they cannot do — those change, and a comparison table where one side wins every row is an advert, not information. Where their answer matters, we tell you the question to ask and link you to them.
Three reasons people move to Watx.
One platform past the storefront
Forms and booking pages with real slot capacity, deal pipelines, Google Workspace actions under your own authority, and AI agents — the same number handles orders, appointments and enquiries.

Isolated workspaces per brand or client, one login across all of them, and flows, templates and media reused between them. Agencies and multi-brand groups are a first-class case, not an upgrade.

Coexistence keeps your number on the WhatsApp Business app while Watx runs alongside it, so evaluating a platform does not mean committing your number to it first.

The eight things that actually decide this purchase. Our answers are ours; the third column is what to check with Interakt — and with us.
Criterion
Watx
What to ask Interakt
Per-message markup
Watx: None. Meta bills you directly at Meta’s rates; our subscription is the whole of what we charge.
Do you add a per-message fee on top of Meta’s rate? Ask for it in writing.
Keeping the WhatsApp Business app
Watx: Supported. Coexistence keeps your number on the app while the same conversations reach the inbox.
Do you support Meta coexistence, or does onboarding end the app on my number?
AI agents
Watx: Several per workspace, each with its own persona, knowledge base, skills and escalation rules. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Google key, or use included credits.
Is the AI a keyword bot or a real agent? Can I use my own model key? What does it cost per reply?
Currency and billing
Watx: Priced and charged in INR, from ₹999/month. GST invoiced.
Am I billed in my own currency, or exposed to FX and card fees every month?
Multiple brands or clients
Watx: One login, many workspaces, isolated per workspace at the database level. Switching client is a menu, not a logout.
What does a second brand cost, and is its data actually separated from the first?
Developer access
Watx: Public REST API with scoped keys, outgoing webhooks, HTTP steps in automations, Zapier, and a website chat widget.
Is the API on every plan or gated behind the top tier?
Sales pipeline
Watx: Kanban deal pipelines with your own stages, linked to the contact and the conversation, plus click-to-WhatsApp attribution.
Does a conversation ever become a tracked deal, or does it stop at the inbox?
Getting your data out
Watx: Export contacts and conversations whenever you like; cancel whenever you like. Deletion or return on termination is in our Data Processing terms.
Can I export everything without asking support? What happens to my data if I cancel?
Our column is checkable on /pricing and /features. For Interakt's current answers, go to www.interakt.shop.

Read more What moving a number actually involves.
True of any move between providers, including one away from us.
Does my number belong to my current provider?
No. Your WhatsApp Business Account and phone number belong to your business. A provider is the technology partner connected to it, and you can change that partner without changing your number.
Do my conversations come with me?
No, and no provider can make them. Message history lives with the platform that received it — export it from your current provider before you leave. In Watx the inbox fills from the next message onward, and you import your contacts from CSV.
Do I have to get my templates approved again?
Plan for it. Templates are held against your WhatsApp Business Account, but which ones carry across depends on how your current provider set the account up. Have the text of your active templates saved before you start — re-approval is usually quick.
Do I lose my messaging tier and quality rating?
They belong to the number and the WhatsApp Business Account, not to the provider, so a well-behaved number keeps its standing through a move. That is the argument for not letting a provider damage it in the first place.
How much downtime is there?
A short window while the number is disconnected from one platform and connected to the other. Do it outside your busiest hours, and have someone watching the WhatsApp Business app or the new inbox while it completes.
Still shortlisting?
Same eight criteria, same refusal to invent anybody's feature list.
