For 10 WhatsApp numbers and 15 agents, the published prices come to $600 a month on Periskope Starter, $525 to $875 on TimelinesAI Starter, $944 on ChatDaddy Max billed annually, ₹61,280 on WATI Business and ₹35,299 on Gallabox Advanced, before any message charges. Those totals only look comparable: currencies differ, billing periods differ, and several rest on a reading of the pricing page that the vendor should confirm. The assumptions are shown for each.
What does each tool come to?
| Tool and plan | Working | Monthly total | Assumption to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Periskope Starter | 15 users at $25 = $375; 9 phones after the first at $25 = $225 | $600 | The first phone is free once; add-ons excluded |
| Periskope Pro | 15 users at $35 = $525; 9 phones at $35 = $315 | $840 | As above |
| TimelinesAI Starter, agents only | 15 seats at $35 | $525; $420 billed yearly | Numbers take no seat of their own |
| TimelinesAI Starter, numbers also take seats | 25 seats at $35 | $875; $700 billed yearly | Each of the 10 numbers needs its own seat |
| ChatDaddy Max | $799 includes 5 channels and 15 seats; 5 more channels at $29 = $145 | $944, billed annually | Every channel is a WhatsApp number; under 20,000 active chats |
| WATI Business | ₹16,799 includes 5 users; 10 more at ₹2,199 = ₹21,990; 9 extra numbers at ₹2,499 = ₹22,491 | ₹61,280, billed quarterly | The plan includes one number and Business can add the rest |
| Gallabox Advanced | ₹16,999 includes 10 users; 5 more at ₹1,500 = ₹7,500; 9 channel add-ons at ₹1,200 = ₹10,800 | ₹35,299, billed quarterly | A channel add-on can be a WhatsApp number, which the page does not state |
Which tools cannot be totalled from their pages?
- Interakt: the pricing page lists unlimited agents on its plans but no number count.
- AiSensy: the pages we read do not state a number limit or print a base plan table.
- DoubleTick: amounts are quoted after a demo.
- respond.io: prices are per user and monthly active contacts, and the page states no number count.
- Wassenger: every plan lists one number, and the page does not say how a second is bought.
- WavesFlo: a quote, set on the numbers and people you bring into its shared inbox.
What is left out of every total?
WhatsApp's own per-message charges, which the Cloud API tools pass through and which can exceed the subscription at campaign volume; add-ons; tax; onboarding; and any discount for annual billing. Rupee, dollar and quarterly figures are not converted, because no exchange rate is stated on any page.
What do other team shapes cost?
| Tool | 5 agents, 1 number | 15 agents, 10 numbers | 40 agents, 30 numbers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Periskope Starter | $125 | $600 | $1,725 |
| TimelinesAI Starter, agents only | $175 | $525 | $1,400 |
| TimelinesAI Starter, numbers take seats | $210 | $875 | $2,450 |
| ChatDaddy | $119 (Basic) | $944 | $2,249 |
| WATI | ₹5,799 (Pro) | ₹61,280 | ₹166,235 |
| Gallabox | ₹6,999 (Essential) | ₹35,299 | Enterprise, by quote |
Currencies are not converted. The gap between tools widens with scale, and so does the weight of the assumptions: the larger the estate, the more a quote matters.
Where does WavesFlo fit?
WavesFlo is quoted rather than listed, so it has no row above: the figure is set on the connected numbers and team members you run, billed annually, and no message is ever charged. How the WavesFlo quote is built lists what to bring, so your own figure can sit beside these totals.
Questions
How much does a WhatsApp inbox for 10 numbers cost?
From published prices, between about $525 and $944 a month for the tools whose pages allow a total (Periskope, TimelinesAI, ChatDaddy), and between roughly ₹35,000 and ₹61,000 for the rupee tools (Gallabox, WATI), before message charges.
Why does TimelinesAI have two totals?
Its table says each number needs one seat. If only agents take seats the total is 15 seats; if numbers also take seats it is 25.
Do these totals include WhatsApp message charges?
No. They are subscription totals only.
Can I trust a total built from a pricing page?
Use it to shortlist, and confirm with the vendor in writing before you budget.
