An honest comparison
AiSensy and Dhanur AI, compared honestly
AiSensy is an Indian WhatsApp marketing platform: broadcasts, a shared team inbox, Click-to-WhatsApp ads and chatbots on your own WhatsApp number, with a WhatsApp AI agent as an add-on. It suits businesses that market and sell on WhatsApp. Dhanur AI is an AI team that answers and follows up from your own information on website chat, chat links and email, in Hindi, Hinglish or English, with your OK on what matters and a rupee price on every task. WhatsApp is a pilot with us, so if broadcasts on your own WhatsApp number are what you need today, AiSensy does more.

Where AiSensy is stronger
Your own WhatsApp number, today
You connect your number yourself, and its ₹0 plan gets you the WhatsApp Business API. On Dhanur AI, WhatsApp is a pilot and our team connects each number.
Broadcasts, retargeting and ads
Broadcasting and retargeting from Basic, a Meta ads manager, and AI agents that draft campaigns and ads for you to review. We don't send bulk offer messages or run ads.
A shared team inbox and phone apps
1 owner and 5 agents on Basic, with chats moved between people and watched by managers, and apps for Android and iOS. Our Tasks inbox is for approvals and hand-overs, not a shared chat inbox, and our app is on Google Play for Android.
Selling inside WhatsApp
Catalogues, cart management, WhatsApp forms and payments by WhatsApp Pay, Razorpay or PayU. Taking orders in the chat is planned for Dhanur Business, with a pilot from 12 November; it isn't live.
Certifications and scale
Its home page says SOC 2 compliant and ISO 27001 certified, and its site says more than 2 lakh businesses use it. We hold no certification yet.

Questions
Common questions
Is Dhanur AI cheaper than AiSensy?
It depends on what you need. On 2 November 2026, AI on WhatsApp with AiSensy came to ₹2,850 a month: Basic at ₹1,500 billed monthly and the AI Chat Agent add-on at ₹1,350, with 1,000 AI messages, and the first 1,000 service messages each month carried no WhatsApp fee. Dhanur AI has no monthly plan: 800 WhatsApp replies come to about ₹1,872 in credits, plus GST. If you need broadcasts, ads or a shared inbox, weigh those too, because we don't offer them.

On 2 November 2026, its AI agents page said the agent replies in English only for now: it understands a question written in Hindi and answers in English, and full multi-language replies are coming soon. Dhanur AI's agents reply in English, Hindi or Hinglish, in the language the customer writes in.
Does Dhanur AI work on WhatsApp?
Only in our pilot. For a small number of workspaces, our team connects a WhatsApp number to your agent. You can't connect your own number from the app yet; that is next. Today you can share your chat link on WhatsApp, and customers chat with your agent on a web page.
Does Dhanur AI send WhatsApp broadcasts?
No. We don't send bulk offer messages. Our agents answer the customers who write to you, and follow up leads by email, at most twice for each lead. For broadcasts and Click-to-WhatsApp ads, AiSensy does more.
