ZapUp vs Interakt
Interakt gets you on the API; ZapUp puts an autonomous seller on it. Instead of branched flows that break on unexpected questions, ZapUp agents understand intent, answer from your knowledge base, and complete the sale — on WhatsApp, Instagram and your website.
Playing fair: Interakt is a Jio Haptik-owned WhatsApp Business API platform with entry-level pricing and WhatsApp + Instagram handling. It's a solid choice for getting on the official WhatsApp API quickly with predictable per-conversation pricing. The comparison below is about fit — not a takedown.

Why teams pick ZapUp over Interakt
Intent, not branches
Flow trees break the moment a customer asks something off-script. Agents understand the question and answer it.
Your website works too
The same agent qualifies website visitors and books demos — a channel flow-builders don't touch.
Outcomes, not messages
ZapUp reports meetings booked, orders paid and carts recovered — not just messages delivered.
