Is Squarebox cheaper than Interakt?

For an inbox and broadcasts, no: Interakt Growth is ₹2,799 a month with unlimited agents. Add the lead pipeline (Sales CRM, ₹2,499) and the AI agents (₹3,000) and it's ₹8,298 before the Advanced upgrade; Squarebox Business is ₹4,999 with both included.

Does Interakt support Instagram?

Yes, on Growth and up, and its Starter plan can be Instagram-only for ₹999. On Squarebox, Instagram DMs and comments are coming soon.

Which has cheaper message rates?

Interakt: ₹0.958 for a marketing message and ₹0.150 for a utility message on Growth against our ₹1.05 and ₹0.16. Replies inside 24 hours are free on both for the first 1,000 a month (per number on Squarebox); after that Interakt charges its service rate, ₹0.128 on Growth by its pricing page, and we charge ₹0.16.

Does Interakt have a lead pipeline?

Not in its Marketing & Support Hub plans. Pipelines, pipeline views and contact owners are in Interakt's Sales CRM, a separate ₹2,499 a month subscription for five agents that can't be used with its Shopify integration. Squarebox has lead status, owner and a waiting queue on both plans.

What is Interakt's convenience fee?

Interakt's terms of service add a convenience fee of 2% of the subscription fee, which isn't shown on its pricing page. Squarebox has no fees beyond the plan, GST and message charges.

Can I move my WhatsApp number from Interakt to Squarebox?

Usually, yes, but check with us first: what carries over depends on how your WhatsApp Business account is set up. Message us before you switch.

Short answer: Interakt's Growth plan is ₹2,799 a month with unlimited agents and Instagram, which is hard to beat for a broadcast-and-inbox tool. But a lead pipeline is a second product, Sales CRM at ₹2,499, the AI agents are a ₹3,000 add-on, and two-way integration needs Advanced at ₹3,799. Squarebox Business is ₹4,999 with the pipeline and the AI agent included.

How we compared.

We make Squarebox. Interakt's prices, plan limits and message rates come from its public pages, checked on 1 October 2026 from India; its review count is from G2. Squarebox's come from our own plan settings. Where Interakt doesn't publish something, we say "Not listed" rather than guess. We recheck every quarter. If something here is out of date, tell us on WhatsApp and we'll correct it.
