how billing works

Three things that decide your WhatsApp API bill.

Per delivered message

Meta charges each delivered template message by category — marketing, utility or authentication — at the recipient country’s rate.

Replies are free

When a customer messages you first, every reply inside the 24-hour service window is free. Click-to-WhatsApp ads open a 72-hour free window.

Country sets the rate

The same marketing message can cost 10x more in one market than another. Pick your audience’s country above for a real estimate.
