Flocci Chat vs ChatMaxima — an honest comparison

Short answer

ChatMaxima is an India-priced multichannel inbox (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, SMS, web) from ₹1,499/month for 10,000 messages across 3 team members. Flocci Chat is a website-first grounded RAG assistant: no seats, no channel bundle, free until roughly 500 answered messages, then one credit per answered message. Choose ChatMaxima for high-volume multichannel; choose Flocci Chat for accurate, cited answers about your own site.

Different products that meet in the same search results

ChatMaxima's centre of gravity is the omnichannel inbox: one place for WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, SMS, email and web chat, with a drag-and-drop builder and CRM-flavoured automation. Flocci Chat's centre of gravity is a single question — does the assistant on your website answer correctly, from your own content, with the source shown? Everything in it exists for that: hybrid vector plus full-text retrieval, diversity reranking, a confidence gate that clarifies or escalates instead of guessing, and citations on the reply.

Honest arithmetic, in rupees

At genuinely high volume — tens of thousands of messages every month across social channels — ChatMaxima's flat ₹1,499–₹7,999 tiers are excellent value per message, and we will not pretend otherwise. The picture inverts at the volumes most Indian websites actually see. A site answering 300–800 support questions a month pays ₹1,499 monthly for capacity it never touches; on Flocci Chat the first ~500 answered messages are free, and there are no seats to buy for the colleagues who watch the inbox. The full comparison across vendors is in what an AI chatbot really costs in India.

Where the depth difference shows

Ask a support bot something your website answers on page 40 of the docs. Grounded retrieval finds that passage, quotes it and links the page; a flow-builder answers from whatever intent was authored. Flocci Chat also proves who it is talking to — flocciChat.identify() with an HMAC-SHA256 signature — and can then call your own API for that specific customer's order or subscription. And because it is one app on the Flocci platform, the same login and credit wallet cover Pulse, Leads, Recall, Workspaces and the school, hotel and POS ERPs.

Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper for a small Indian business?

Below roughly a thousand website messages a month, Flocci Chat — the first ~500 answered messages are free, there are no seat fees, and you pay per answered message afterwards. Above tens of thousands of pooled multichannel messages, ChatMaxima's flat ₹1,499–₹7,999 tiers are the better unit economics.

Does Flocci Chat support WhatsApp or Instagram?

No — Flocci Chat is website-first: an embeddable widget plus its own ticket inbox. If a shared social inbox is your primary requirement, a multichannel platform such as ChatMaxima fits better.

Are both billed in rupees?

Yes. ChatMaxima publishes INR plans, and Flocci Chat bills in rupees through PayU at account.flocci.in — credit packs plus platform plans at ₹499 and ₹2,999 per month that cover every Flocci app, not just Chat.

Which gives more accurate answers about my website?

Flocci Chat is built specifically for that: it indexes your pages (including JavaScript-rendered ones), retrieves with hybrid vector plus lexical search, shows the sources behind each answer, and hands off to a human rather than guessing when confidence is low.
