How Leapstream is priced
One annual platform fee, quoted in writing or on a call and sized to your volume, team and integrations, with every module included and unlimited members. Meta’s per-message charge is passed through at cost and shown in rupees before every send.
We do not publish the fee as a number because it is set per client, and we do not publish Meta’s India rates as a number because Meta publishes them only as rate cards that change by date. The product shows the rate in force at the moment you send.
Choose Interakt if

- You are a clinic, hospital, school, coaching institute or services business rather than a store.
- You want Meta's charges at cost on the only plan there is, not on the Enterprise tier alone.
- You need native in-chat forms, follow-up reminders and routing rules in the inbox.
- You want a person who sets up your workspace and watches your number from their side.

Questions people ask about this comparison
Is Leapstream a good Interakt alternative for a Shopify store?
For shipping updates, re-orders and campaign attribution, yes, through the API, Zapier or Make. For native catalogue sync and cash-on-delivery conversion flows, Interakt has features we do not, and this page says so.
Does Interakt charge a markup on Meta's rates?
Interakt's pricing page states "No Markup Charges" on its Enterprise tier and lists per-message rates for the other tiers without stating whether they include a margin, as of 20/09/2026. We pass Meta's rate through on the only plan we have.
Can I move from Interakt without losing my number?
Yes. The number is registered to your Meta business, and connecting it to your own Meta app keeps the number, its quality history and its templates.
