Interakt is a popular pick for Indian D2C. InboxChange is built for the agency layer above it. When does each make sense?
Pick Interakt if: single-brand D2C, INR-only, want quick onboarding, no agency layer needed. Pick InboxChange if: you run an agency, need international + multi-currency, or want native LLM chatbot with knowledge base.

WHY CUSTOMERS LEAVE
The same set of complaints we hear repeatedly when teams come to us from Interakt.
No multi-tenant agency mode
Email is a separate add-on (different SKU)
International expansion isn't smooth — INR-first design assumptions
LLM chatbot not native (intent matching + simple flows)
DECISION HELPER
An honest checklist. There are situations where Interakt is the right pick.
REAL CUSTOMER OUTCOME
A Bangalore-based ethnic-wear D2C brand replaced their three-spreadsheet, two-agent WhatsApp workflow with InboxChange's multi-tenant inbox + Shopify automations — and saw their abandoned-checkout recovery rate go from 4% to 19%, while support team headcount stayed flat through a 3× sales jump.
