DoubleTick alternative: cheaper WhatsApp marketing for Indian SMBs

DoubleTick has grown popular among Indian small businesses for its simple WhatsApp broadcast and catalog tools. It's a good entry-level product. As businesses grow, the limits show: broadcast-only thinking, lighter automation, and pricing that scales up with team size. Here's how AiConva compares for SMBs that are outgrowing an entry-level tool.

Beyond broadcasts

DoubleTick is built around broadcast sending and basic catalog. AiConva is a fuller platform: shared team inbox with assignment, no-code automation flows, click-to-WhatsApp ad management, native WhatsApp payments, a developer API, and the template library. If you started with a broadcast tool and now need a real WhatsApp operation, AiConva is the natural next step.

Pricing that doesn't punish teams

Many SMB tools price per seat — add an agent, pay more. AiConva charges per message sent, not per person. You scale the team without scaling the bill on headcount, which is the fairer model for a growing business. The per-message rate (Meta at cost + ₹0.10 + GST) is also typically cheaper than the bundled SMB-plan rates once you pass a few thousand messages.

The upgrade path

If you're a solo operator sending occasional broadcasts, an entry-level tool is fine. The moment you have a team, need automation, want proper segmentation, or care about billing transparency, you've outgrown it. AiConva is built to be that upgrade — and migrating your number and contacts across takes about a day.
