Interakt is a WhatsApp Business API platform. It lets you send broadcast messages, run chatbots, and integrate with your existing store. It's built for brands that already have a website and need better WhatsApp automation.
Behaf is different. Behaf is not a WhatsApp tool bolted onto your existing stack, it's a complete AI sales engine for brands that don't have a website, don't have a developer, and just want to start selling.

Who should choose Interakt?
Brands that already have a Shopify store, a marketing team running WhatsApp campaigns, and the budget for enterprise-tier tools.
Who should choose Behaf?
Solo founders, first-time D2C brands, and small teams that want a complete storefront, not a WhatsApp chatbot layered on top of existing infrastructure. If you're paying for a website, a payment gateway, a shipping tool, AND a WhatsApp chatbot, Behaf replaces all four.
The one-line difference
Interakt is WhatsApp automation for brands with a stack. Behaf IS the stack, built inside WhatsApp.
