The Interakt Alternative Built for Visa Consultants in India

Interakt earns its reputation honestly: as an official WhatsApp Business Solution Provider, it gives Indian businesses verified, compliant access to the WhatsApp Business API, and it builds real, well-liked functionality on top of that access — product catalogs synced from Shopify or WooCommerce, bulk broadcast campaigns with delivery analytics, a no-code chatbot builder, and a shared team inbox. For a D2C brand or retailer that wants to sell and support customers over WhatsApp, that is a strong, purpose-built toolkit. The catch is that a visa case is not a product order, and Interakt has no concept of one. It carries a visa type, country-specific fields like a CAQ, GIC, SEVIS ID, LMIA, or CAS number, a document checklist that has to be collected and verified, and often a linked IELTS or PTE coaching batch running in parallel. None of that exists in Interakt, and there is no path to build it — the platform's data model is oriented around contacts, catalogs, and conversations, not case stages. VisaBOS starts from that visa structure already built, with its own WhatsApp Business API integration included, so consultancies get the day-to-day operational depth without needing a second, disconnected messaging tool.

Where Interakt gives you a WhatsApp catalog, a broadcast list, and a chatbot builder aimed at selling and supporting customers generally, VisaBOS gives you the visa case object already built, with WhatsApp messaging as one connected channel rather than the whole product. A case in VisaBOS carries its visa type, its country-specific fields, its document checklist, its deadlines, its payments, and — if you run coaching — its IELTS or PTE batch, all in one record. You aren't running a WhatsApp commerce tool alongside a separate case-tracking spreadsheet; the platform ships with visa structure and WhatsApp messaging already connected. The result is a consultancy that can capture a Meta lead, qualify it, message the client over WhatsApp, open a case, collect documents against an auto-generated checklist, raise a GST invoice through Razorpay, and track a coaching batch without leaving the system. Consultancies that also run a retail-style catalog business alongside their consultancy sometimes keep Interakt for that specific use case while running visa case operations on VisaBOS. For families and students who need visibility into their own case, see our guide to client portal software for visa consultants.

Interakt's pricing is published in tiers based on features and conversation volume, and it is generally competitive for what it covers — WhatsApp Business API access, catalogs, broadcasts, and chatbot automation (check Interakt's current pricing page for exact figures, since tiers and limits change over time). But because Interakt has no native visa case workflow, consultancies still need a separate CRM or spreadsheet for casework, plus a separate tool for document checklists, coaching batches, and GST-compliant invoicing — each with its own subscription and its own setup time. VisaBOS prices transparently in INR from ₹5,000/month and bundles WhatsApp messaging together with those capabilities into every tier, so a small consultancy can budget with confidence without running two subscriptions side by side.

Visa case management, WhatsApp messaging, coaching, Razorpay, GST invoicing, and multi-branch — included in every plan. Start with a 14-day free trial.
