What Interakt does well

  • Unlimited agents. Every plan includes unlimited team logins, which matters for a team of five or more.
  • Commerce on WhatsApp. Catalogs, carousels, limited-time offers and WhatsApp Pay are on Growth.
  • Campaigns and ads. One-time and ongoing campaigns, auto-retries, click and conversion tracking, and a Click-to-WhatsApp ads launcher.
  • Low per-message rates that fall on higher plans, with no template markup on Enterprise.

Where Agent24 is different

  • The agent does the job, not just the talking. Bookings, room stays, restaurant and cake orders, laundry pickups and payment links are part of Agent24, so the agent checks the real calendar or menu and completes them in the chat, with your rules about when the team confirms.
  • A website on every plan. Each business gets its own page with booking and order forms, and on Pro the same agent answers in a chat bubble there.
  • Priced per business. No per-seat price and no fee per message from Agent24; Meta's own message rates still apply.
  • Your languages. Customers write in English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Arabic or a mix like Manglish and Hinglish, and the agent answers in theirs; voice notes are transcribed and answered.

What Agent24 doesn't do

  • No bulk campaigns. Agent24 answers and acts on the messages customers send and sends them reminders and updates; it doesn't broadcast offers to a whole list.
  • No ads manager. Click-to-WhatsApp ads are run from Meta, not from here.
  • No Shopify or WooCommerce sync. Products, stock and orders live in the Products module instead.
  • No AI voice calls. Voice notes are heard and answered in text.
  • A young product. Agent24 launched in 2026, so it has no long track record or review-site history yet.
