TL;DR30-second read

Gallabox is a WhatsApp Business API platform with a clean team inbox, the native WhatsApp catalog and a visual chatbot builder. HeyHomie goes a layer deeper — instead of just sharing product cards, your customer pays inside the chat, the order ships automatically and lifetime value lands in a real CRM. If you need a tidy inbox, Gallabox works. If you want the entire revenue loop in one place, HeyHomie is the full stack.

The fundamental difference

We’re solving a different problem.

GallaboxWhatsApp Business API · catalog & team inbox

A WhatsApp Business API platform with team inbox, basic catalog and chatbot automation.

What they’re great at

  • Multi-agent inbox with role management
  • WhatsApp catalog support for product sharing
  • Drag-and-drop chatbot builder
  • Decent integrations with common CRMs
HeyHomieComplete WhatsApp commerce

HeyHomie is a complete commerce platform on WhatsApp — store, payments, shipping, ads, CRM, automation and AI, in one subscription.

What Gallabox isn’t built for

  • Your own branded WhatsApp + Web store (with collections, variants, SEO)
  • In-chat checkout — UPI, cards, COD with protection — settled to your bank
  • End-to-end shipping with auto labels, GST invoices and live tracking
  • Ads Studio that runs Click-to-WhatsApp ads and ties every rupee back to an order
  • A customer CRM that shows lifetime value, behaviour and segments out of the box
Outcome by outcome

Same customer. Same business. Very different days.

Seven moments from a real seller’s week, compared side by side. We don’t list features — we show what actually happens.

01

A customer asks ‘can I pay COD?’

Supported · messaging only

Gallabox replies with your template or chatbot answer.

Good at answering the question via bot. But the actual COD checkout, address validation, prepay incentive and return protection happen elsewhere — usually on your separate online store.

Built in · 1 platform

Bot answers, captures address with landmark, offers a ₹50 prepay discount — all inside the chat.

COD protection is built in: address confirmation + landmark capture + auto-incentive to convert to prepaid. 15-20% fewer returned orders. No redirect to a website.

02

A customer wants to buy 3 items from your catalogue

Use another tool

Send them a link to your website or share product cards from WhatsApp Business catalog. Checkout happens on your separate store.

Cart, totals, taxes, GST invoice and payment all happen on a separate tool (Shopify, Dukaan, your own site). You re-enter customer details into 3 systems to fulfil one order.

Built in · 1 platform

Carousel of products → tap → in-chat checkout → UPI/cards/COD → order auto-confirmed.

From browse to paid in 2 minutes, inside the same chat. GST invoice auto-attached. No copy-paste between tools. Your money settles instantly to your bank.

03

You want to ship that order

Use another tool

Open ShipRocket / Delhivery separately, paste address, generate label.

Each order is 5-7 minutes of clicking between WhatsApp → CRM → shipping panel. Tracking link doesn't auto-flow back to the customer's chat.

Built in · 1 platform

One tap. Label generated. Pickup booked. Live tracking pushed back to the customer's chat.

Self-fulfilment or plug into ShipRocket/Delhivery. 21,000+ pincodes, same-day delivery in 20 cities. ₹10 flat handling per order — that's it.

04

You want to broadcast a Diwali drop to 800 buyers

Supported · messaging only

Gallabox broadcasts the template message. Good delivery rate.

Strong at the messaging part. Segments are usually basic (by tag). When buyers reply, you handle the conversation and the manual order entry separately.

Built in · 1 platform

Segment by tag, behaviour, last order, city or lifetime spend. Broadcast → in-chat checkout for replies.

Buyers who reply land into a sequence that auto-pauses when they engage. Orders happen inline. End-to-end Diwali campaign — broadcast → order → ship — in one flow.

05

You want to run a Click-to-WhatsApp ad

Use another tool

Open Meta Ads Manager separately. Build the creative. Track in two dashboards.

Gallabox can ingest leads from those ads but the spend, creative and per-rupee tracking live in Meta Ads Manager. You stitch the numbers manually.

Built in · 1 platform

Ads Studio inside HeyHomie. ₹2,000 ad spend → 85 chats → 12 orders → 7.2× ROAS — one dashboard.

Spend, conversations, conversions, ROAS — joined automatically. No more guessing which ad drove which order. WhatsApp-first creative templates included.

06

A customer finishes their bottle / package — what next?

Partial · workaround

You'd need to set up a manual reminder broadcast yourself.

Gallabox can fire a scheduled message, but it doesn't know what was bought, when it'll run out, or which retention journey to slot the customer into.

Built in · 1 platform

22 ready-made retention journeys. Day 25 'running low?' nudge fires automatically.

Tied to the customer's actual order history. Auto-suggests reorder + cross-sells the matching follow-up product. 65% refill rate on the platform average.

07

You want to know who your top 10 customers are right now

Partial · workaround

Export contacts CSV. Cross-reference with your separate order system. Calculate manually.

Most messaging platforms hold conversation data, not order economics. Lifetime spend, AOV and reorder cadence live wherever your store does.

Built in · 1 platform

CRM tab. Sort by lifetime spend. Tag VIPs. Trigger a personal note in 30 seconds.

Every customer record shows orders, conversations, behaviour, LTV and segment tags. Push to Google Sheets or Zoho CRM live, two-way sync.

How pricing works

Gallabox prices in tiers. We don’t.

Gallabox gates features and seats behind plan levels — features unlock as you pay more. HeyHomie is one product with every feature included, and two ways to pay for it.

GallaboxTiered pricing

Tiered by features, conversation volume and agents — automation and catalog depth scale with the plan.

  • 01

    Basic

    ~₹3,000/mo

    Inbox + chatbot · limited agents · basic catalog

  • 02

    Advanced

    ~₹4,500/mo

    Adds richer automation, more agents, integrations

  • 03

    Pro

    Custom

    Higher conversation tiers, SLA, premium support

The catch

Even at the top tier, your store, payments, shipping and ads still live in separate tools you stitch together.

The real cost

The sticker price isn’t the price. Here’s what Gallabox actually costs.

Gallaboxhandles the messaging layer. To run a real business you still need a store, a payment gateway, shipping, ads and CRM — most of them as separate subscriptions. Here’s the full picture.

A seller who switched

What changed for HeyHomie

“Gallabox was great for the inbox. But trial bookings, advance payment, calendar sync and rebooking still needed 3 other tools. HeyHomie replaced all of them. My batch fills 2 weeks faster now.”
