StitchMagic vs Interakt — which one for sarees?
StitchMagic for catalog creation (AI generates saree-on-model photos from your fabric). Interakt for chatbot replies + UPI payment flow once you have customers. Most Indian saree sellers under ₹2L/month use StitchMagic only; above that scale, layer Interakt for chatbot.
Can I switch from Interakt to StitchMagic?
Yes, easily — export your Interakt catalog as CSV, import to StitchMagic, AI auto-enhances the photos. Keep Interakt only if you need chatbot/UPI flows; otherwise StitchMagic standalone covers most SMB needs.
Is Interakt cheaper than Wati?
For Indian sellers — yes. Interakt starts at ₹2,000/mo (Wati at ~₹3,200/mo). Both add WhatsApp Business API per-message charges. For sellers under 1,000 customers, both are still expensive vs StitchMagic's ₹79/mo.
Does Interakt do AI photo generation?
No — Interakt is a WhatsApp distribution + automation platform. It assumes you already have product photos. The gap is the photos themselves — which is where StitchMagic's AI fits.
