Why switch
Why businesses choose Praisely over AiSensy
Made for local businesses
No flows to build. Add your services, prices and hours once, and the AI answers questions in your customer's language without making up prices or offers.
Your phone keeps working
Keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone with the same number. When you reply yourself, the AI steps back from that chat for 24 hours.
Chats that turn into Google reviews
When a customer talks about their visit, the AI shares your Google review link, and you can send review requests to your whole contact list.
AI replies included in the price
Every WhatsApp plan includes a monthly pack of AI replies, from ₹399 a month, billed monthly. Meta's message charge goes straight to your own WhatsApp account.
Which one is right for you?
Choose AiSensy if you sell online and need chatbot flows, catalogs, payments, Shopify or click-to-WhatsApp ads, with a team answering chats. Choose Praisely if you run a local business and want an AI that answers customers from your Google profile, keeps your WhatsApp Business app working on your phone, and asks happy customers for Google reviews, with AI replies included from ₹399 a month.
AiSensy may suit you better if:
- You sell online and need catalogs, payments or Shopify on WhatsApp
- You want to design chatbot flows and run click-to-WhatsApp ads
- Several team members answer chats from one number
- You want to schedule broadcasts in advance
Frequently asked questions
Is Praisely a good alternative to AiSensy?
For a local business that mainly wants customer questions answered on WhatsApp and more Google reviews, yes. Praisely's AI answers from your own prices, hours and Google profile, with AI replies included from ₹399 a month. If you need chatbot flows, catalogs, payments or a team inbox, AiSensy has those and Praisely doesn't yet.
Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app?
Yes. Praisely connects your existing WhatsApp Business app number, so your chats stay on your phone and also show in the Praisely inbox.
Who pays WhatsApp's message charges?
Meta charges a small fee per message, billed by Meta to your own WhatsApp Business account, separate from your Praisely plan.
How do I switch from AiSensy?
A number can only be connected to one WhatsApp provider at a time. Disconnect it from AiSensy, then create a free Praisely account and apply for WhatsApp from the Integrations page. We approve each number by hand to keep the service spam-free, then you connect it in a few clicks.
