Your first WhatsApp number, automated.
For SMBs running campaigns weekly.
Full automation + developer API.
Resell under your own brand.
All plan prices are GST-inclusive in INR. Message quota resets monthly; additional messages beyond your quota bill at standard usage rates. Upgrade, downgrade, or switch to pay-as-you-go any time.
For high-volume D2C, agencies billing clients separately, finance teams that want pass-through accounting.
For SMB + mid-market with no dedicated finance ops. One INR invoice. No Meta card. No FX risk.
GST: all INR rates shown above are GST-inclusive — your wallet top-up is the amount you pay, GST included, and we issue a GST invoice against it. On Client Pay, Meta bills its own per-message charges to you directly and applies GST separately on that invoice.
Meta per-message rates apply across all BSPs and are published at business.whatsapp.com. Verified against India 2026 rates as of July 2026. International (non-India) usage is billed in USD at Meta's regional rate. Switch between Client Pay and SaaS Pay any time per tenant.

RichAutomate manages the Meta billing for you. No Meta card required. You top up an INR wallet on the platform, we deduct an inclusive rate per message — ₹1.20 marketing, ₹0.30 utility/auth on India 2026 rates. Single GST invoice in INR each month. Predictable + simple.
Yes — switching takes about 3 days with zero downtime. Templates, flows, contacts, quality rating stay with you. Toggle is in tenant settings. Agencies can run both simultaneously per client (Client A on Client Pay, Client B on SaaS Pay).
No. ₹0 minimum subscription on both billing models. You only pay per message + platform fee on Client Pay, or per inclusive message on SaaS Pay. Many BSPs charge ₹2,500–₹12,000/month minimum — we don't.
