SaleMag is an all-channel sales inbox with the AI chatbot built in, made for how Bangladeshi shops sell on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. | | SaleMag | AiSensy | |---|---|---| | Best for | F-commerce shops and service businesses in Bangladesh | WhatsApp broadcasts and ads, mainly for Indian brands | | Strongest feature | AI order taking in Bangla and Banglish | WhatsApp campaigns and Click-to-WhatsApp ads | | Chatbots and AI | Part of the plans | Paid add-ons | ## How much does AiSensy cost compared to SaleMag? On 24 October 2026, AiSensy's USD pricing page showed: | AiSensy plan | Monthly price | Notes | |---|---|---| | Free Forever | $0 | API, templates and live chat; broadcasting needs a paid plan | | Basic | $45 | 1 owner and 5 agents | | Pro | $99 | Adds campaign scheduler and click tracking | | Premium | $299 | 1 owner and 9 agents; 1 webhook | | Unlimited | $899 | Up to 200 agents | Add-ons are charged on top of any plan: | AiSensy add-on | Monthly price | |---|---| | Chatbot Flows (5 drag-and-drop chatbots, cart and catalog) | $80 | | AI Chat Agent (1,000 AI messages) | $50 | | Extra team member | $20 per seat | Quarterly billing saves 5% and yearly billing saves 10%.

AiSensy publishes a country rate sheet effective 1 October 2026, the day Meta made Bangladesh its own pricing market. | Bangladesh, per message (USD) | AiSensy rate sheet | Meta list rate | |---|---|---| | Marketing | $0.088 | $0.0732 | | Utility, authentication, service | $0.004 | $0.0037 | AiSensy's FAQ describes these credits as charged by Meta. Meta's own rates are on its [pricing page](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing). In SaleMag, Meta bills message fees to your own WhatsApp Business Account. Our [WhatsApp pricing guide](https://salemag.net/blog/whatsapp-per-message-pricing-july-2025) explains how the categories work, including the 1,000 free service replies per number each month. ## Does AiSensy's AI reply in Bangla? No. AiSensy's AI agent page says the agent currently responds in English only, and that full multi-language support is coming soon. AiSensy has a Bangla version of its homepage, but that is marketing copy, not the AI. For Bangladeshi shops this is the biggest gap. Customers write "dam koto?", "XL ache?" or full Bangla sentences, and expect a reply in the same style. SaleMag's [AI chatbot](https://salemag.net/features/ai-chatbot) runs on your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key, learns from your products, FAQs, files and web pages, and replies in the customer's own language, in Bangla script, Banglish or English. When it is unsure it [hands the chat to your team](https://salemag.net/blog/human-handover-chatbot-best-practices). Our post on [Banglish chatbot replies](https://salemag.net/blog/banglish-chatbot-replies) shows how to test this. ## Which is better for cash-on-delivery orders? AiSensy's COD feature runs through Shopify: a flow that verifies COD orders on WhatsApp, reduces returns and encourages customers to switch to prepaid. Cart management and catalog sharing are part of the Chatbot Flows add-on. SaleMag takes COD orders in the chat itself, with or without a website. Its [AI order taking](https://salemag.net/ai-agents/ai-order-taking) checks your catalog for price, stock and options, builds the cart, and sends a [WhatsApp order form](https://salemag.net/features/whatsapp-order-form) where the customer picks Inside or Outside Dhaka and sees the delivery fee and total. The server works out the total, so the AI never quotes a wrong price. Messenger, Instagram and Telegram customers get the same form as a secure link. Neither has bKash or Nagad payments, and SaleMag does not book couriers. ## Where is AiSensy the better choice? AiSensy is the better choice if you need any of these: - **A Free Forever plan** with the API, templates and live chat. - **Click-to-WhatsApp ads**, managed from every plan. SaleMag does not handle these. - **Shopify COD verification** and a deep e-commerce integration list, including WooCommerce and OpenCart. - **Marketing integrations** such as LeadSquared, CleverTap and WebEngage. - **Very large sending volumes**, up to 200 agents on one plan. - **A large, established vendor** with Meta partner awards. ## Where is SaleMag the better choice?
