How WhatsApp API Pricing Works

WhatsApp API pricing has two components: Meta's per-message charges and the platform fee.

1

Meta Charges

Meta charges per message based on category (marketing, utility, authentication) and recipient country. These are the same regardless of which platform you use.

2

Platform Fee

WhatsBizAPI charges a flat platform fee with zero per-message markup. Most competitors add 20-50% markup on every message, inflating your costs significantly.

3

Your Savings

Because we charge no markup, your savings grow with volume. The more messages you send, the more you save compared to markup-based platforms like Twilio or Wati.
