DoubleTick's platform fees stack on top of Meta conversation rates. Mappstore is a flat ₹999/month per WABA — no per-seat or per-contact charges.

Chatbot is on a higher plan

Slow support in Indian timezone

No marketplace traffic

Listing your business on Mappsto.re drives free inbound WhatsApp leads — something no other BSP offers in India.

Frequently asked questions

Is DoubleTick really priced per user?

Yes — DoubleTick's published plans are per-user. Their lowest tier is around ₹2,499/month for 3 users; adding more agents costs extra per seat. Mappstore's ₹999/month per WABA includes unlimited team members.

Does DoubleTick include an AI chatbot builder?

DoubleTick offers a basic drag-and-drop flow builder, not AI-powered creation. Mappstore's VibeFlow AI builds a complete production chatbot from a one-paragraph description in 60 seconds — included free.

Can I sell products on WhatsApp with both?

Yes, but Mappstore goes further — built-in WhatsApp catalog, in-chat cart, and Razorpay-powered checkout, plus Shopify sync. DoubleTick is primarily a shared inbox without native commerce.

Which platform is cheaper as my team grows?

Mappstore — by a lot. Adding a 10th agent on DoubleTick adds another ~₹6,000–₹8,000/month. On Mappstore, agent count doesn't change your bill at all.

Do both offer broadcast campaigns?

Yes, both can broadcast to opted-in contacts. Mappstore additionally supports multi-day drip campaigns from Google Sheets, smart-skip logic, calculated variables and Razorpay payment auto-skip — included free.
