#Why do small stores pick Chirpoo?
Because you can see what you will pay before you talk to anyone. BiteSpeed's Pricing link goes to a page that says only:
Get a personalised demo with our team.
That is a sales process. A small store wants to know the monthly number, who bills Meta and what is gated, today. Chirpoo publishes all three: ₹1,499 a month excluding GST, Meta billed to you directly with nothing added per message, and the Shopify messages, AI agent, flows and broadcasts all in the one plan.
Chirpoo is built around WhatsApp, where your customers already write to you, and its flows cover the cases a small team really runs, with a test run and shadow mode before they talk to customers.
Day to day, the plan covers more than the Shopify messages. Click-to-WhatsApp ad clicks save the ad's headline and link on the contact, so you see which ads brought real chats and which orders followed. More than one WhatsApp number can sit in one workspace, and push alerts reach the phone once Chirpoo is installed on it. None of this sits behind a higher tier. See the shared inbox guide for how a team runs it.
Chirpoo also gives you five logins in the base price, rupee invoices by link with no auto-debit, a 14-day trial with every feature and no card, and open code under Apache-2.0.
#What does BiteSpeed charge in total?
It cannot be added up from sourced numbers, because none are published. BiteSpeed's site routes Pricing to a demo request. Its Shopify listing says the app is free to install and that "Recurring and usage-based charges are billed every 30 days", without naming a plan or amount. The listing also shows both "USD/INR" and "USD" as the billing currency in different places.
Chirpoo's total for the same store is one line. Commerce is ₹1,499 a month, or ₹1,768.82 with 18% GST, including 5 logins and one number. Each extra login or number is ₹250 a month. Meta's charges are billed by Meta to you: ₹0.8631 per marketing message and ₹0.115 per utility message in India from 1 Oct 2026 (Meta pricing, checked 17 Oct 2026).
Before you commit to any quote, ask three things in writing: the fee per month including logins and numbers, any markup on Meta's rates, and what happens to your data if you leave. Our WhatsApp pricing guide has the Meta side.
