360dialog Alternative: Why Gulf Businesses Choose Lojain by KIRA

Quick answer: Lojain by KIRA is a 360dialog alternative for businesses that want a working WhatsApp AI agent rather than just cheap API access. 360dialog is an excellent low-markup BSP — around €49/month per number with minimal message markup — but it deliberately provides API access only; there's no built-in AI, inbox or agent. Lojain provides all of that, Arabic-first, with GCC payments.

360dialog pricing in 2026 (verified)

360dialog is positioned as low-cost, direct WhatsApp API access — from about €49/$59 per month per number, emphasising minimal or zero markup on Meta's messaging fees. That makes it a favourite of developers and agencies who bring their own software. What it does not include is an AI agent, a team inbox or a no-code builder — those are your responsibility.

Lojain by KIRA is priced simply and annually: 300 KWD/year for the base WhatsApp system and +200 KWD/year for the AI agent add-on, with a 14-day free trial. You pay Meta's standard conversation rates directly — no per-message markup game — and the AI agent, shared team inbox, no-code flows, broadcast campaigns and in-chat payments are all included.

Why Gulf businesses pick Lojain over 360dialog

Three things decide it for businesses in Kuwait and the wider GCC:

• Native Gulf-Arabic + English AI. Lojain understands Gulf dialect, idioms and local pricing conventions and replies in the customer's language automatically — not translated English.
• It's a finished agent, not a toolkit. Lojain answers questions, quotes prices, handles objections, books appointments, takes payment and escalates to your team — live in days.
• Meta-verified, GCC-native. KIRA is a Meta-verified WhatsApp Solution Provider and an Official Odoo and Shopify Partner, with Tap/KNET payments inside the chat.

When you should stay with 360dialog

Lojain isn't for everyone. 360dialog may still be the right call if:

• You (or your agency) already have the software and just need cheap, direct API hosting for a number.
• You want the lowest possible message markup and don't need a built-in product.
• You're a BSP-style reseller managing many numbers technically.

But if you're a clinic, salon, restaurant, real-estate or e-commerce business in Kuwait or the GCC handling WhatsApp inquiries in Arabic and English, Lojain by KIRA will convert more of them, faster, with less manual work.

FAQ: 360dialog alternative questions

Does 360dialog include an AI chatbot?

No. 360dialog provides WhatsApp Business API access (number hosting) with very low markup, but no AI, inbox or flow builder — you connect your own application. Lojain by KIRA is the whole product: Arabic-first AI agent, inbox, flows, campaigns and payments included.

Is 360dialog cheaper than Lojain?

On raw API hosting, yes — around €49/month per number. But that price buys pipes, not a product; you still need software and an AI on top. Lojain bundles the entire agent for a flat annual fee (300 KWD base, +200 KWD AI) with a 14-day free trial.

Can Lojain give me the same low Meta rates?

Yes — Lojain runs on the official WhatsApp Business API through KIRA's Meta-verified partnership; you pay Meta's standard conversation rates, with the AI product on top rather than a per-message markup game.

Is 360dialog good for Arabic-speaking customers?

360dialog is language-agnostic infrastructure — any Arabic AI is something you build. Lojain is Arabic-first out of the box, tuned for the Gulf.
