Example: 10,000 marketing and 20,000 utility messages a month in India

On AiSensy: ₹1,500 starting plan + ₹10,900 marketing + ₹2,900 utility = ₹15,300 a month.
On Tadlo AI Growth: ₹2,499 plan + ₹8,631 marketing + ₹2,300 utility = ₹13,430 a month.

That's ₹1,870 a month, or ₹22,440 a year, and the gap grows with every message you send. If you also need AiSensy's chatbot builder, add ₹2,500 a month. GST not included.
