AI chatbot software in India, compared by price in ₹ (October 2026)

हिंदी में पढ़ें

We compare 4 AI chatbot tools that Indian teams use, ranked by our open score (how the score works; paying us never changes it). Claude scores highest here, 58 out of 100. None of them publishes a plan we could price for 10 people.

Prices checked 1 Jun 2026 or later; each price shows its own date. Prices are the vendor's list price before GST, for 10 people a month, at ₹95.3 per US dollar where the vendor prices in dollars. Ranked by our open score — how it works. Ties go to the tool with more checks known, then A to Z. No position here is for sale.

How to choose

  1. Ask for a quote in writing. None of the 4 tools here publishes a plan we could price for 10 people, so the number you are quoted is the number to compare.
  2. Check India fit before you sign. We have read that 0 of 4 bill in rupees, 0 give a GST invoice and 0 keep data in India. "Not checked" means we have not read it, not that the answer is no.
  3. Start on a free plan where there is one. 4 of 4 list a free plan, so you can try them with your own data before paying.
  4. Check how each one charges. 2 of 4 have no monthly plan price we could read: some charge per transaction or per use, some only by quote. Their tool pages say which.

Something wrong or out of date? Tell us and we re-check the vendor's page.
