A real estate Telegram group has specific needs: moderation, engagement, automation, and growth. Interakt covers part of that picture. This comparison covers the rest, so you know exactly what you get and what you are missing before you commit.
Interakt is a WhatsApp CRM with per-conversation pricing. It is a WhatsApp CRM tool. For some use cases that is fine. For running a live real estate community where members want to participate, share, and stay engaged, it falls short in ways that cost you time and members.
These are the specific limitations that real estate communities run into with Interakt:
The core gap between BotWave and Interakt for real estate groups is simple: BotWave was designed for community management, while Interakt was designed for WhatsApp CRM.
Here is what a real estate community actually does with BotWave on a normal day:
| Capability | BotWave | Interakt |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Free forever | Paid tiers required |
| Per message fees | $0 | Yes |
| 24h reply window | No limit | Restricted |
| Commands | 200+ | Limited |
| Group size | 200,000 | Capped lower |
| Inline games | Yes | No |
| AI assistant | Built in | Limited |
| Crypto tracking | Yes | No |
| Media downloads | 8 platforms | No |
| Trust scores | Yes | No |
| Karma and levels | Yes | No |
| Mini app dashboard | Yes | No |
Pricing is where most real estate communities make the switch. Interakt charges for the part it does, and the cost scales with activity. BotWave does not.
| Usage | BotWave | Interakt |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 msgs/day | $0 | $5 to $80/day |
| 10,000 msgs/day | $0 | $50 to $800/day |
| Hosting | $0 | Self host or paid |
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/notes | Pin listings for the area |
/trust | Check an agent's reputation |
/welcome | Greet new members with area info |
/filter | Keep promotions out |
Moving a real estate group from Interakt to BotWave does not require any data export or complicated setup. Here is how it works in practice.
Here is what a real real estate group looks like after switching to BotWave.
Before the switch, the group was running {comp} for its one feature and two or three other bots for the rest. Admins spent more time managing bots than managing the community. Spam slipped through, engagement was flat, and new members left within a week.
After adding BotWave, the admins turned on welcome, captcha, karma, and polls in the setup wizard. Within three days, spam dropped to near zero because captcha blocked bot accounts at the door. Karma gave regular contributors a visible reputation, and the leaderboard created a light competitive loop that pulled lurkers into the conversation.
The AI assistant handled questions that admins used to answer manually. Reminders pinged the group before events, and the notes module replaced a cluttered pinned-messages chain. The group went from five bots to one, admin workload dropped, and daily active members climbed.
The admin team now spends zero time on bot maintenance and all of their time on the community itself. That is the difference between a tool that does one thing and a platform that runs the whole group.
If you are on the fence, here is what usually tips real estate groups toward switching.
Keep Interakt if its specific feature is all you need. Switch to BotWave if you want your real estate group to have moderation, games, AI, and growth in one free bot.
