WhatsApp Business API pricing, published

Per-conversation rates for 159 countries, with our margin shown separately

Most providers answer this question with "contact us". We publish the numbers, because the pricing is not the secret — Meta sets the country rate and every provider pays the same one. What differs is the margin on top, and hiding that is how a quoted ₹2 per message turns into ₹4.

Quick answer

WhatsApp Business API is priced per conversation, not per message, and the rate is set by the recipient's country. A conversation covers a 24-hour window in which you can exchange as many messages as the thread needs. AdelSocial publishes the Meta country rate and its own margin as separate lines: India is ₹1.04 a marketing conversation, the UAE ₹3.08, the United States ₹1.44, Kenya ₹1.36. Utility and authentication conversations cost less, and a conversation the customer starts is free inside its window.

Three things decide what you pay. The recipient's country sets the Meta rate. The conversation category — marketing, utility, authentication or service — sets which of four rates applies, with marketing the most expensive and service free inside the window. And the 24-hour window means a long back-and-forth costs the same as a single message, which is why WhatsApp beats SMS on anything conversational and loses on a one-way alert.

Rates below are marketing conversations in INR, excluding GST. Meta revises country rates periodically and we pass the change through with notice rather than absorbing it quietly.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Per conversation, not per message. A conversation is a 24-hour window in which you can exchange as many messages as the thread needs. The rate is set by the recipient's country and the conversation category: marketing is the most expensive, then utility, then authentication, and a service conversation the customer starts is free within its window.

₹1.04 on our published rate card, excluding GST. That covers 24 hours of messaging with that contact, however many messages the thread needs.

It depends entirely on the country and on whether the customer replies. In India a conversation is ₹1.04 against ₹0.12 to ₹0.22 an SMS, so SMS wins on one-way traffic. In Kenya a conversation is ₹1.36 against ₹1.40 to ₹3.40 an SMS, so WhatsApp is cheaper outright. For anything with a reply, WhatsApp usually wins because one conversation replaces several segments in both directions.

Setup is from ₹9,999 and covers Meta Business verification, display name approval and your first templates. There is no monthly platform fee on the starter plan; conversation cost is billed separately at the rates above.

Because the margin is where the money is and publishing it invites comparison. Meta's country rates are public, so any provider can be measured against them. We would rather you check.
