The best DelightChat alternative for India
Teams look for a DelightChat alternative when a multi-channel support inbox is no longer the whole job — usually when WhatsApp needs to drive revenue end-to-end (catalog, checkout, GST invoicing, measured marketing) rather than just resolve tickets. WatEase is an India-first WhatsApp commerce + AI marketing platform — native UPI checkout, GST invoicing, INR pricing, and a Free Forever plan — built for exactly that switch.
Why teams switch from DelightChat to WatEase
DelightChat is a capable platform. These are the specific gaps an India-first business tends to hit — and what WatEase does differently.

How migrating from DelightChat works
Switching WhatsApp platforms keeps your number and your customers — the process is a Meta number migration plus template re-approval, with hands-on help from the WatEase team.
- 1Port your WhatsApp Business API numberMove your existing Business API number to WatEase. If you are on DelightChat today, the number, your green tick status, and your history come with you — no new number to announce to customers.
- 2Re-approve your templatesYour message templates are re-submitted for Meta approval (a Meta requirement on any BSP change, not a WatEase one). The team helps you map and re-create them so nothing is lost.
- 3Rebuild lists, segments & automationWe help map your DelightChat broadcast lists, segments, and automation rules onto the WatEase equivalents, and import your opted-in contacts with consent records intact.
- 4Go live with commerce wired inSwitch on your catalog, in-chat UPI checkout, and GST invoicing — the pieces that usually sat outside your old tool now live on the same platform.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best DelightChat alternative in India?
DelightChat is a respected multi-channel support inbox (WhatsApp + Instagram + Facebook + email) with strong Shopify integration. If WhatsApp is meant to drive revenue end-to-end — native catalog, in-chat UPI checkout, GST invoicing, bundled AI marketing — WatEase is a direct India-first alternative with INR pricing and a Free Forever start. Compare current pricing on each vendor's site.
Can I migrate from DelightChat to WatEase?
Yes. You move your existing WhatsApp Business API number, approved templates, and contact lists via the standard Meta number-migration + template re-approval process (a Meta requirement, not ours). Inbox conversations, customer tags, and integration mappings move over with help from the WatEase onboarding team during the switchover window.
How does pricing compare in INR?
WatEase Free Forever is ₹0/month (10 products, 25 orders/month; standard Meta/WhatsApp conversation charges still apply), Professional is ₹999/month, and Smart is ₹4,999/month with the bundled AI marketing engine. DelightChat publishes its plans in USD — your INR amount depends on FX at billing — and per its public plans as of June 2026, tiers scale by inbox volume and agent seats. Verify current rates at delightchat.io/pricing.
Does WatEase have a shared team inbox like DelightChat?
Yes — WatEase ships a multi-channel inbox (WhatsApp + Instagram + Facebook + Email) with agent assignment, internal notes, canned responses, and SLA tracking. Honest note: DelightChat is widely respected for inbox depth, particularly at 15+ agent scale; WatEase is on par for 1–10 agent teams and adds team-routing features each quarter.
Who should NOT switch from DelightChat?
A 15+ agent customer-support operation where shared-inbox depth is the single largest lever, a store purely on Shopify that wants the most mature off-the-shelf Shopify support integration, or a brand selling primarily outside India with USD billing as the norm is well served by DelightChat. Switch when selling, invoicing, and marketing on WhatsApp from one stack becomes the bottleneck.
Will my templates need re-approval when switching from DelightChat?
Yes — Meta requires template re-approval on any BSP change, whichever vendor you move to. The WatEase team helps map and re-submit templates during onboarding; your number, green-tick status, and opted-in contacts come along with consent records intact.
