People bring Gupshup in for an e-commerce brand sending order and delivery notifications over whatsapp to customers across india and southeast asia, a bank or fintech running one-time passcodes and transactional alerts with fallback from whatsapp to sms, a company deploying a whatsapp chatbot for tier one support with handover to human agents for anything it cannot resolve, a marketing team running whatsapp template campaigns to opted-in lists in markets where email engagement is low. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Gupshup are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Gupshup
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $0.001/message. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Gupshup against the tools that do have one before committing.
Gupshup runs on web, api, and is published by Gupshup of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The full record is on the Gupshup review, and the rest of the category is under best communication tools.
