Better than Interakt? The Interakt alternative that also does your login.
Shopify-first WhatsApp, and a markup that moves with your plan. QuickAuth covers WhatsApp and phone authentication on one API and one INR invoice — as a direct Meta Tech Provider, with no reseller hop in between.
quickauthWHAT IT COSTSYou pay Meta’s rate and nothing on top of it. No platform fee, no per-message markup, and no charge for a message that never arrived.
If you run a Shopify store and want WhatsApp wired into it without engineering time, Interakt is a genuinely good fit — the integration is the product, and it works.
It is a WhatsApp platform. Phone verification is not a product they sell, so login comes from a second vendor on a second invoice, and outside Shopify the integration advantage that justifies the platform largely disappears.

Interakt ships one thing here that we do not: click-to-whatsapp ads. If that is what you are buying for, buy it there — this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
Meta's rate is the floor, not the price.
Every rupee above Meta's own conversation rate is Interakt's, not Meta's.
Where a WhatsApp BSP stops.
Interakt is a capable WhatsApp platform. These are the parts that sit underneath a send, which no WhatsApp-only tool on this page ships.
Multiple WABAs, connected and pooled
One campaign fans out across your pool of WhatsApp Business Accounts rather than burning a single number, so no one sender carries the whole send.
Everything checked before the campaign runs
A canary batch goes first, then sender and template quality are read again between waves. The send halts on a RED template or pool rather than continuing into a restriction, and a halted campaign gets bounded automatic retries before it needs a human.
Smart routing across channels
Per-channel provider config with a merchant-set primary and fallback, so authentication keeps working when one channel does not — and a marketing send is never silently re-routed at your cost.
No subscription, and no markup on Meta’s price
You pay Meta’s message rate at cost. There is no monthly platform fee to carry in a quiet month and nothing added per message on top of Meta’s own rate.
98.7% WhatsApp delivery, published
We publish 98.7%, measured. Most platforms on this page publish a price and a feature list but never a delivery number — which is the one figure that decides what a campaign was actually worth.
Shared inbox and CRM, free to five users
Conversations, lead stages, tags, notes, tasks and transfers. The first five users cost nothing; past that it is a small flat fee per user, not a per-seat licence that reprices the whole team.
ROAS and revenue attributionIN DEVELOPMENT
Tying campaign spend to the orders it actually produced, per template and per recipient. Being built now — we would rather say that than show you a number we cannot yet stand behind.
Moving from Interakt.
Is QuickAuth better than Interakt?
For an Indian team that needs phone authentication as well as WhatsApp, yes — Interakt does not verify a phone number at all, so login has to be bought from a second vendor on a second invoice. For a team that only ever needs WhatsApp messaging and nothing else, Interakt is a capable product and the honest answer is that it may suit you better. The comparison below gives both sides rather than only ours.
Is QuickAuth cheaper than Interakt?
It depends on your mix, and any page that answers this with a single number is selling you something. QuickAuth bills on the delivery receipt rather than on send, so undelivered messages are not charged, and authentication sits on the same contract instead of being bought from a second vendor. Compare the total of both invoices, not the per-message rate on one.
Can I move from Interakt to QuickAuth without losing my WhatsApp number?
Yes. A WhatsApp Business Account can be migrated between providers and your number, your templates and your quality rating travel with it. We handle the migration, including re-registering templates where a category needs correcting.
What does QuickAuth do that Interakt does not?
Interakt is a WhatsApp messaging platform. QuickAuth covers both halves of the same pipe — phone authentication (OTP, login, re-auth with automatic SMS fallback) and WhatsApp messaging (campaigns, utility, shared inbox, chatbot) — on one API and one INR invoice, as a direct Meta Tech Provider.
When is Interakt the better choice?
If you run a Shopify store and want WhatsApp wired into it without engineering time, Interakt is a genuinely good fit — the integration is the product, and it works.
