Insaa is live: its free plan includes yourname.insaa.app, InstaTag and WhatsApp orders; Starter adds UPI payments and verification, reviews and promo codes; Pro adds AI product reels and auto-fill, a custom domain and priority support. InstaTag uses one # code to link an Instagram post to checkout.
