How this works in Reputoo

Language comprehension, not just translation

Indian customers write transliterated Hinglish with inconsistent spelling and switch language mid-thread. Reputoo supports 36 languages including Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati and Kannada, and understands input rather than only generating translated templates.

Campaign replies become bookings

A broadcast advertising open slots produces booking requests. The agent checks real staff availability, books, and sends a UPI payment link as a deposit — inside the thread, in the language the customer used.

The same agent answers the phone

A meaningful share of Indian campaign responses arrive as a call rather than a reply. Voice and WhatsApp run on one agent against one calendar, so the caller is not asked to start again.

Rupee billing with GST invoicing

Plans are billed in rupees against your GSTIN, which makes the spend claimable as input credit — not true of several international tools that bill in USD without an Indian tax invoice.

When another tool fits better

Reputoo is not the right answer for every business. These are the cases where something else is.

AiSensy

Cost is the binding constraint and you mainly broadcast. Flat rupee plans with unlimited agent seats are very hard to beat for a support-heavy Indian SMB.

Interakt or Zoko

You are a D2C brand where the conversation is about products, carts and orders rather than appointments.

Wati

You have a staffed team who will answer every reply and want the most mature shared inbox in the Indian market.

Worth knowing: If you never need appointments, voice or in-chat payments, Reputoo carries capability you will not use, and a cheaper Indian broadcast tool is the sensible purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need DLT registration for WhatsApp marketing in India?

No. DLT applies to SMS under TRAI rules. WhatsApp is governed by Meta's own system — business verification, template approval, opt-in and a per-number quality rating that sets your messaging limit. The feedback loop is faster and less forgiving: poor targeting cuts your sending ability within hours.

How much does WhatsApp marketing cost in India?

Meta charges per delivered message at India rates — on the July 1, 2026 rate card ₹0.8631 per marketing message and ₹0.115 per utility message, before GST. Software adds a rupee subscription, commonly a few thousand a month at SMB scale. Because messages are cheap here, the software pricing model usually affects your bill more than volume does.

Which tools handle Hindi properly?

Nearly all send templates in Indian languages; far fewer understand replies in them, because real messages arrive as transliterated Hinglish rather than Devanagari. Test any vendor by typing a misspelled Hinglish message in the demo and seeing whether it understands or falls back to a menu.
