Why the comparison is confusing
Wati, AiSensy and SaleHy all run on the official WhatsApp Business API, and all three now market some form of "AI." That similarity ends fast once you look at what each one actually does. Wati and AiSensy are WhatsApp Business API platforms — infrastructure and tooling you configure for whatever your business needs, in any industry. SaleHy is a real estate sales agent that happens to run on WhatsApp — the qualification logic, inventory matching and site-visit booking are built in, not something you assemble yourself.
Neither approach is wrong. They're built for different buyers, and this comparison is about figuring out which one you actually are.
What Wati actually is
Wati
A well-established WhatsApp Business API platform used across e-commerce, healthcare, education and many other industries. Core features: a shared team inbox, a no-code chatbot flow builder, broadcast campaigns, a WhatsApp catalog, CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce), and — more recently — "Astra AI Agents" plus AI Co-pilot credits for building AI-assisted responses. Pricing runs $29/month (Growth) up to $249/month (Business), each with a fixed quota of AI co-pilot credits (250–1,500/month), plus Meta's per-conversation charges on top (Wati pricing, 2026).
What you don't get out of the box: any real estate-specific logic. The chatbot flows, the AI agent's knowledge and behavior, the qualification sequence — all of it is something your team builds and maintains inside Wati's tools.
What AiSensy actually is
AiSensy
Similar category to Wati — a WhatsApp API platform serving over 210,000 businesses across many sectors, real estate included as one of many verticals it markets to (AiSensy pricing, 2026). Its Drag & Drop Chatbot Builder runs ₹2,500/month for 5 chatbots; its separate WhatsApp AI Agent Builder runs ₹3,500/month for 3,500 AI messages, with knowledge-base and memory features. Per-message charges apply on top (₹1.09 for marketing messages, ₹0.145 for utility messages in India).
Like Wati, AiSensy gives you the building blocks — you feed the AI agent your own knowledge base and configure its behavior. It doesn't ship with real estate qualification logic, inventory matching or site-visit booking already designed; that's assembly work on your side.
What SaleHy actually is
SaleHy
Not a platform you configure — a sales agent you plug your inventory into. The qualification sequence, objection handling, project-matching logic, site-visit booking against a real calendar, and a Hindi/Punjabi real estate consultative tone are already built. You provide project details, prices and photos; SaleHy is set up for you, not weeks of flow-building. Starter is ₹14,999/month for one project, Growth ₹29,999/month for multiple projects, both with SaleHy Desk for your team — also plus Meta's per-conversation charges at cost, same as Wati and AiSensy (see full pricing, and what those Meta charges actually amount to).
Side by side
| What matters | Wati | AiSensy | SaleHy |

When Wati or AiSensy is the better choice
- You have an in-house team (or agency) able to design and maintain chatbot flows or an AI agent's knowledge base over time.
- You need one platform across many use cases beyond real estate — support, e-commerce, multiple business lines.
- You want the lowest possible entry price and are willing to build the qualification and booking logic yourself.
- You already have a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce) you want deep native integration with, beyond what a vertical tool offers.
When SaleHy is the better choice
- You're a builder or broker who wants a working sales agent, not a platform to configure.
- You don't have a team to design and maintain conversation flows or an AI knowledge base.
- You specifically need site-visit booking against a real calendar and property-matched recommendations, not generic broadcast/chatbot tooling.
- Genuine Hindi and Punjabi conversation quality — not just "multilingual support" as a checkbox — matters to your buyers.
The honest caveat
FAQ
Are Wati and AiSensy bad products?
No — both are established, widely used WhatsApp Business API platforms with real automation and AI features. They're general-purpose tools built for any industry, which means you configure the chatbot flows, AI knowledge base and qualification logic yourself. SaleHy ships with real estate logic already built in.
Is SaleHy cheaper than Wati or AiSensy?
Not necessarily on the sticker price — Wati and AiSensy have lower entry tiers. But their pricing is à la carte (chatbot builder, AI agent builder and per-message charges billed separately), and someone still has to build the real estate logic on top. SaleHy's ₹14,999/month includes that logic pre-built for one project, plus a team console, plus Meta's conversation charges at cost, same as the others.
Can I just build a real estate bot myself on Wati or AiSensy?
Yes, and some builders do. It takes real setup time — designing the qualification flow, wiring inventory data, testing objection handling — and ongoing maintenance every time a project or price changes. SaleHy is built to skip that setup.
