NitiGrow vs Interakt — Which WhatsApp CRM is better for D2C and Shopify?

Last updated: June 2026 · Based on publicly available pricing and features

TL;DR: Interakt (by Haptik/Jio) is popular with Shopify merchants for order notifications. NitiGrow offers a fuller commerce suite — in-chat payments, AI replies, CTWA ad tracking, and WhatsApp Flows — plus multi-channel inbox and deeper India compliance. If you sell online and want to convert chats into sales, NitiGrow is the stronger pick.

Where NitiGrow wins

1. Commerce beyond notifications

Interakt is great at sending order updates — "Your order has shipped!" But NitiGrow lets you close sales inside WhatsApp: browse catalog → select variant → pay via UPI/Cashfree → get GSTIN invoice. Cart recovery is AI-powered with smart timing (30 min, 24h, 3 days), not just a fixed template blast.

2. AI that helps your agents sell

NitiGrow's AI suggests replies in the customer's language (Hindi, English, Hinglish), detects frustrated customers before agents read the thread, and summarizes long conversations. Interakt has no AI assistance — your agents are on their own.

3. Multi-channel, not just WhatsApp

D2C customers reach you everywhere — WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, email. NitiGrow puts all three in one inbox. Interakt is WhatsApp-only, so you're switching between apps for other channels.

Where Interakt might be better

Interakt is backed by Jio/Haptik and has a very tight Shopify integration that's been battle-tested by thousands of D2C brands. If you only need order notifications on WhatsApp and don't need AI, multi-channel, or in-chat payments, Interakt's ₹999/mo entry plan is cheaper.

How we compared

Checked on 1 September 2026. Every figure for Interakt comes from their own public pricing and feature pages on that date — see Interakt. Vendors change pricing and ship features often, so check the current figures before deciding; if something here is out of date or wrong, tell us at contact@nitigrow.in and we will correct it.

"Not documented" means we could not find it in a vendor's public materials on that date. It is a statement about their published information, not a claim that their product cannot do it — a feature may exist without being documented, or sit behind a plan or add-on we did not see.

NitiGrow has not launched yet. Our column describes what ships at launch on 1 January 2027, and our prices are introductory launch pricing. We are the vendor of one of the products compared here, so read this as our own account of the market rather than an independent review.
