Gallabox alternatives: pick the one that fixes your reason for switching
This is for Gallabox users who have hit a limit, and for buyers comparing it with the rest of the market. Instead of a generic top ten, you get a table that starts from your reason for leaving, a side-by-side of how each alternative charges for AI, and a worked example of rewriting a button flow as knowledge an AI agent can use.
Quick answer
The right Gallabox alternative depends on why you are leaving. For more users at a low price, Interakt. For the cheapest official API entry, AiSensy. For many agents on one number, DoubleTick. For a multichannel support team, Respond.io. For AI replies and booking at a flat monthly price with no Meta fees, ReplyKit from US$29, which does not do broadcasts.
Why do people look for a Gallabox alternative?
Mostly because of four limits on the entry plan: a hard cap of three users, AI agents on WhatsApp starting one plan up, no monthly billing, and Meta's message charges on top of everything.
Gallabox is a capable official API platform, and it deserves credit for including AI credits in every plan and offering a free trial with no card. But the shape of its plans pushes small teams upward quickly:
- Three users, hard cap. Basic cannot add a fourth user; you upgrade to Essential.
- AI on WhatsApp is an Essential feature. Basic includes 500 AI credits and a web AI agent. AI agents on WhatsApp and Instagram start on Essential.
- Quarterly or yearly billing. The pricing page offers quarterly and yearly terms, not monthly.
- Extra channels and setup help cost more. Additional channels are ₹1,200 or US$20 a month each on Essential and Advanced, and the optional AI Solutions Engineer setup is ₹41,500 or US$499 one time.
What does Gallabox cost, in short?
Basic is ₹2,399 or US$112 a month billed yearly, Essential ₹5,599 or US$248, and Advanced ₹13,599 or US$474, as listed in October 2026. Quarterly billing costs more. Meta's message charges are extra.
| Gallabox plan | Billed yearly | Billed quarterly | Users | AI credits a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹2,399 or US$112 | ₹2,999 or US$150 | 3, hard cap | 500, web AI agent |
| Essential | ₹5,599 or US$248 | ₹6,999 or US$331 | 6, then ₹1,200 or US$18 each | 2,000, AI agents on WhatsApp and Instagram |
| Advanced | ₹13,599 or US$474 | ₹16,999 or US$632 | 10, then ₹1,500 or US$24 each | 8,000 |

Prices from each vendor's own page, checked October 2026. All tools except ReplyKit and the free app run on the official API and pass on Meta's message charges.
How do Gallabox alternatives charge for AI?
Very differently, and this is where bills surprise people. Some include credits, some sell an add-on, and some meter every reply. Ask what happens when the allowance runs out.
| Tool | How AI is sold | What is included | When it runs out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gallabox | Credits in every plan | 500, 2,000 or 8,000 a month; WhatsApp AI agents from Essential | Credits deducted per AI action: replies, rewrites, translations, evaluations |
| AiSensy | Add-on | ₹1,350 a month for 1,000 AI messages | Separate from Meta's message credits |
| Interakt | Add-on | US$74.99 a month on Growth and Advanced | Check current limits |
| DoubleTick | Add-on on Pro + AI | 3,500 AI credits a cycle, up to 10 AI bots | Agents keep working and draw from a wallet |
| Respond.io | From Growth | AI credits with the plan | On-demand credits at US$15 per 1,000, capped at 200% of your allowance |
| ReplyKit | Included in every plan | 1,000, 5,000 or 20,000 AI replies a month | The agent pauses and chats wait in your inbox; packs of 1,000 replies cost US$10 and never expire |
A useful habit: whatever the tool, count how many replies your business sent last month and price that volume. Our guide to what a WhatsApp AI agent costs shows how.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Gallabox in India?
Yes. AiSensy Basic at ₹1,500 a month is cheaper than Gallabox Basic at ₹2,399 billed yearly, and its Free Forever plan costs nothing. Interakt's Sales CRM plan is ₹2,499 a month with five sales agents.
The catch is what you add on. Once you buy AiSensy's AI agent (₹1,350) the two are close, and Gallabox's AI credits are already in the price. On the official API, Meta's India rates apply to all of them; AiSensy lists ₹1.09 per marketing message and ₹0.145 per service message after 1,000 free a month from 1 October 2026. More local detail is in our WhatsApp chatbot India guide.
Where ReplyKit fits, and where Gallabox is better
We make ReplyKit, so weigh our view accordingly. ReplyKit fits a small business whose WhatsApp is mostly people asking questions and booking. Gallabox fits a team that also runs campaigns, drip sequences and ad attribution on the official API.
ReplyKit is an AI agent that answers WhatsApp and website chat from your own content. You crawl your website, upload PDFs and price lists, add Q&A pairs or a product catalogue CSV. It answers only from that knowledge, and when the answer is not there it says so and escalates instead of guessing. Unanswered questions are listed so you teach the answer once. It also qualifies leads, offers real open slots and books them. Plans are US$29, US$49 or US$99 a month on monthly billing, with AI replies included. See the plans.
It connects through Quick Connect, which pairs your number by QR code in about two minutes. Quick Connect is unofficial and not sanctioned by Meta, a number can be restricted, and we recommend a dedicated number. There are no Meta fees because it does not use the API.
Stay with Gallabox if you need broadcasts or drip campaigns, Shopify notifications, Instagram, ad attribution, CRM integrations or the green tick. ReplyKit has none of those; leads leave by CSV export. The head-to-head is in ReplyKit vs Gallabox.
How do you turn a Gallabox flow into AI knowledge?
You stop drawing branches and write down the answers. An AI agent does not need a menu; it needs the facts behind each button.
Here is a typical button flow for a hypothetical salon, and the same content rewritten for an AI agent. Copy the pattern for your own flows.
Before: the button flow
Welcome message with three buttons: "Prices", "Book", "Location".
"Prices" opens a list: Haircut, Colour, Treatment.
"Haircut" sends a fixed message with the price.
"Book" sends a form link.
Anything typed outside the buttons gets "Sorry, please choose an option".
After: knowledge and instructions
Q&A: "How much is a haircut?" Women's cut RM65, men's cut RM35, includes wash.
Q&A: "Do you do balayage?" Yes, from RM280, about 3 hours, book a consultation first.
Instruction: Offer the next open slots when someone wants to book. Ask which stylist they prefer.
Instruction: If someone asks about a treatment not listed, say you will check and hand the chat to staff.
Three rules make the rewrite work:
- One fact per answer. Prices, durations and conditions in plain sentences, not inside button labels.
- Write what to do when unsure. The "hand to staff" instruction replaces the old "please choose an option" dead end.
- Upload the source, not just the summary. Your full price list PDF lets the AI answer the questions you did not think to write down.
Our migration guide has the full two-week plan. To test a rewrite on your own customers, start the 7-day free trial; it includes 300 AI replies and needs no card.
