Best Grexa AI (grexa.ai) alternatives in 2026
Grexa AI (grexa.ai, Grexa AI Private Limited, Navi Mumbai) sells AI marketing agents for local businesses — salons, clinics, gyms, restaurants, bakeries, garages, travel agencies — run from the Grexa mobile app. It has three: a Google Business Profile agent that rewrites your profile around search keywords, asks customers for reviews and replies to every one, posts daily and schedules photos; a WhatsApp chat agent that answers enquiries in the customer's own language, suggests free slots, confirms bookings and follows up when a chat goes quiet; and a WhatsApp marketing agent that sends occasion offers, brochures and booking reminders. It was founded in 2024 by part of Testbook's founding team and raised a $1.8M seed round, reported by Inc42 in July 2025. This page is about the marketing product, not the diabetes medicine sold under the name Grexa.
Read on its own pricing page on 28 October 2026, prices depend on the business country you pick. In US dollars: the Discovery plan (the Google Business Profile agent alone) is $69 for a month or $399 for a year, bought online; the Growth plan (all three agents) is $649 for 3 months, $1,298 for 6 months or $2,596 for a year, with no monthly option, and it starts with a free demo call. In India it is ₹6,999 for 6 months or ₹9,999 for a year for Discovery, and ₹15,000, ₹30,000 or ₹60,000 for Growth. The UAE has its own dirham prices.
People look elsewhere for three reasons: they want to pay month to month for the full set, they want only one of the two jobs (the Google profile, or WhatsApp), or the marketing they are missing is somewhere else — ads, emails, a website. If your customers find you on Google Maps and book over WhatsApp — a salon in Pune, a dental clinic in Dubai — Grexa is built around exactly those two places, and none of the options below covers both in one plan. AgentCeres is on this list for a different job: the website and the posts on your own Instagram and Facebook that people check before they message you.

What a year costs, from the prices on these pages today. Grexa's Growth plan does not get cheaper if you commit for longer: its 6-month and 1-year prices are exactly two and four times the 3-month price, so a year is $2,596 (about $216 a month) whichever term you buy. Its Discovery plan is the opposite — $399 for a year against $828 for twelve single months — and at $399 a year it is the cheapest way on this page to have a Google profile run for you; Paige costs $1,188 for the same year. If you rebuilt Grexa's three agents from the tools above, Paige plus Wati Growth billed annually comes to $1,896 a year before WhatsApp message fees, and the chatbot flows and campaigns are then yours to set up. So Grexa's Growth bundle costs about $700 a year more than the do-it-yourself pair and, for that, it is configured and run for you.
Where AgentCeres fits next to any of them. About three quarters of the people who sign up with us come to build a website first. For a local business the Google profile and WhatsApp are where a customer books, but the website and the posts on your own accounts are what they look at before they get in touch — that is the part we do, with our social media agent writing the posts. We do not touch your Google profile or your WhatsApp. A sensible pairing is Grexa Discovery or Paige for the profile and AgentCeres for the site and the posts. Our small-business page has the rest, and our Pie alternatives roundup covers other AI marketing tools built for small businesses.
How we checked.

Holo was also showing a 60%-off promotion on every plan that day; the list prices are used here. Customer counts and results that each vendor reports about itself are its own claims and are left out of the comparison.
