What Else Affects the Cost

Simple CRM push: no extra cost. ERP integration with custom API: ₹10,000–₹25,000 additional. Legacy system: case by case.
Hindi and English: standard. Regional language (Tamil, Telugu, Marathi etc.): ₹5,000–₹15,000 per language.
Basic email support: included. Dedicated account manager and 4-hour SLA: ₹3,000–₹8,000/month additional.
Red Flags in AI Pricing
- No setup fee + high monthly: you are renting, not owning. Check contract exit terms carefully.
- Very low monthly + per-message fees: calculate break-even at your expected message volume first.
- "Free trial" with automatic conversion: set a calendar reminder before the trial ends.
- Pricing that doesn't mention WhatsApp API costs: those will be passed through separately.
