The closest comparison there is. Both sell "AI that runs your business" to small business owners. They automate opposite ends of it.
Runable automates the owner's back office — quotes, invoices, follow-up emails, local SEO, weekly numbers. It connects to Gmail, Sheets and your calendar. It raised a $21M Series A in August 2026.
Ovam automates the customer-facing side — the website, and an agent that answers the people contacting your business, captures their number, and messages you the summary on WhatsApp.
| Ovam | Runable | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | ₹199/mo · $19/mo | $20/mo (Pro) |
| Free tier | First build free | Generous — 1,500 credits/day |
| Paperwork automation | No | Yes — quotes, invoices, chasing |
| Answers your customers live | Yes | No |
| Yes — handoff + daily reports | Not offered | |
| Your own domain + hosting | Yes — included | Free subdomain |
| Video, slides, carousels | No | Yes |
| Built for India | UPI autopay, Hindi + English | US/UK-first |
What they do not do is answer your customers. Their integrations are Gmail, Sheets and calendar — the owner's tools. Nothing in Runable picks up when a customer messages your business at midnight, and there is no WhatsApp anywhere in it, which matters a great deal in India.
Your customers reach you on WhatsApp or through your website, you are losing enquiries outside working hours, and you want the site, the domain, the hosting and the agent in one place — priced in rupees, paid by UPI autopay.
