#Why do small businesses pick Chirpoo?
A small shop cares about three things: what the month costs, whether automation is included, and what it pays per message.
The month. Chirpoo is one price. Flows, the AI agent, broadcasts, ad attribution, API and MCP are all inside ₹999. On AiSensy the chatbot builder is ₹2,500 a month on top of the plan and the AI agent is ₹1,350 a month on top of that.
The team. Chirpoo includes five logins and charges ₹250 for another. AiSensy includes five agents on Basic and Pro, and extra agents are ₹750 a month each.
The message rate. Chirpoo adds nothing per message, so the figure on your Meta invoice is the figure you pay. AiSensy lists ₹1.09 for a marketing message in India against Meta's own ₹0.8631, so every marketing message costs about 23 paise more there than on Meta's card.
Chirpoo's flows cover the cases a small team actually runs, with a test run and shadow mode before they talk to customers. Read more in the broadcast marketing guide and the pricing guide.
#What does AiSensy charge in total?
AiSensy's total has three parts: the plan, any add-ons and the message rate. Using only the prices above, take 2,000 marketing messages to Indian numbers in a month, excluding GST.
| Chirpoo | AiSensy Basic | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | ₹999 | ₹1,500 |
| 2,000 marketing messages | ₹1,726.20 at Meta's ₹0.8631 | ₹2,180.00 at AiSensy's ₹1.09 |
| Total, broadcasts only | ₹2,725.20 | ₹3,680.00 |
| Add flows | Included | ₹2,500 chatbot add-on |

The gap in the middle row is ₹453.80 on 2,000 messages. AiSensy's page does not say whether its rate includes GST, so the table uses the figures as printed. Your own mix of utility and marketing messages will change the totals, so rerun the sum with your numbers.
