DoubleTick alternative

KayChat vs DoubleTick

DoubleTick is a polished WhatsApp CRM aimed at sales teams, and its catalogue and ordering features are genuinely good. The catch is what the entry plan leaves out, and that you cannot try it before you buy. Here is an honest side-by-side, including where DoubleTick is the better choice.

Where KayChat falls short

  • Younger product with a much smaller customer base than DoubleTick.
  • No free plan, only a 14-day trial.
  • Each plan has limits. Starter has 5,000 contacts and 3 team logins, and does not include the chatbot or the AI assistant.
  • Small team: support replies within 1 business day, in Indian working hours.

Where DoubleTick falls short

  • No free trial at all. You book a demo and commit before you have used the product.
  • No monthly billing. The smallest commitment is a quarter, so the entry cost is ₹9,000 plus GST rather than ₹3,000.
  • Scheduled broadcasts — sending a campaign at a chosen time — are listed as Enterprise only, so neither Starter nor Pro can do it.
  • The Starter plan has no chatbot builder and no AI agents, which is most of why people buy a tool like this.

Choose DoubleTick if…

  • You sell from a catalogue on WhatsApp and want ordering, carts and product sharing built in.
  • You want 24x7 chat support, which DoubleTick offers on every plan and KayChat does not.
  • You have a sales team that lives in WhatsApp and you want number masking and lead assignment.
  • You are ready to commit for a quarter without trying the product first.

Choose KayChat if…

  • You get daily enquiries on WhatsApp and want them answered at once, including at night.
  • You want the chatbot and the AI assistant inside the plan, not as add-ons.
  • You want to pay Meta’s own message rates, with nothing added on top.
  • You want someone to set it up with you (Growth and Pro).

Questions

Can I try DoubleTick before paying?

No. DoubleTick states on its pricing page that it does not offer a free trial, and points you to a demo booking instead. KayChat gives you 14 days with every feature switched on and no card required.

Which is cheaper to start with?

KayChat. Starter is ₹1,500/month and you can pay for one month. DoubleTick's Starter is ₹3,000 a month but bills quarterly or yearly, so the smallest first payment is ₹9,000 plus GST. DoubleTick's Starter also has no chatbot and no AI agents.

Is KayChat an official WhatsApp Business API provider?

KayChat is built on the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. You connect your own number through Meta’s Embedded Signup, and messages go directly through Meta.

Can I move from DoubleTick to KayChat without losing my number?

A WhatsApp Business number can be moved between providers. Your approved templates and contact lists need to be exported and set up again. On Growth and Pro we do this with you. Message us on WhatsApp first so we can check your account before you switch.

Who pays for WhatsApp messages on KayChat?

You pay Meta directly, at Meta’s own published rates. KayChat charges only the plan price and adds nothing per message.

Which businesses use KayChat today?

Small and growing Indian businesses that get most of their enquiries on WhatsApp: transport and logistics, building materials, coaching institutes, real estate and service businesses.
