AI WhatsApp marketing platform: $2K a month, self-reported in 2022
Growby sells software for WhatsApp marketing, chatbots, campaign automation, API access, and white-label solutions. Its $2K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of October 2022.
What it actually sells
Growby is an all-in-one AI WhatsApp Marketing Platform for businesses seeking WhatsApp-based sales and customer engagement. Its listed capabilities include bulk messages, chatbots, campaign automation, API integration, unified sales and support inboxes, Google Sheets contact synchronization, and white-label solutions.
The product includes no-code AI chatbots trained on existing content, automated messages for special occasions, and integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, and an API.
How it charges
Growby uses a one-time license fee. After that fee, WhatsApp message charges are paid directly to WhatsApp based on usage.
Where customers come from
The site offers free trials and provides reseller and white-label program information. It also lists Google Sheets, Zapier, and API integrations.
What stands out
Growby combines WhatsApp marketing messages, no-code AI chatbots, campaign automation, and sales and support management in one platform. The site says it serves more than 1000 businesses and sends more than 5M messages monthly.
The site also claims 99.9% uptime and says Growby reached 25 Million messages in 2024.

Where it sits in the data
Growby's $2K a month is higher than 48% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from businesses that want to use WhatsApp for sales and customer engagement. The buyer includes retailers and businesses of all sizes listed by Growby, while the product combines messaging, chatbot automation, integrations, and support workflows.
Distribution would have to come from the same visible surfaces listed here: free trials, reseller plans, white-label offerings, and integrations with tools such as Google Sheets and Zapier. Building the software would require handling WhatsApp messaging rules, API access, customer support, uptime, and competition in a business communication platform.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
In my view, the product combines a one-time license with usage-based WhatsApp message charges and presents several capabilities in one platform.
