RichAutomate vs a typical WhatsApp reseller

Every provider sends through the same Meta Cloud API at the same Meta rates. What changes is what the provider adds on top. Here is how our model compares with the plan-plus-markup model most resellers use. For named comparisons, see Wati vs RichAutomate, SleekFlow vs RichAutomate and Interakt vs RichAutomate.

Questions

How much does the WhatsApp Business API cost in the UAE?

With RichAutomate you pay a plan from AED 33 per month, plus AED 0.0073 per message and AED 0.0147 per 24-hour conversation window. Meta charges its own rate for UAE recipients (about AED 0.212 per marketing message and AED 0.058 per utility or authentication message) straight to your card, with no markup from us.

Are your prices really in AED?

Yes. Every price on this page is in UAE dirhams, converted from our US dollar price list at the fixed central-bank peg of AED 3.6725 per dollar. Your RichAutomate wallet is charged in US dollars, so the dirham amount on your card statement matches these figures.

Does RichAutomate add a markup on Meta message rates?

No. Outside India we only offer Client Pay: Meta bills your business directly, at Meta’s own rate, on the card in your Meta Business Manager. RichAutomate earns only the plan and the small per-message and per-window fees shown here.

What happens to the monthly plan fee?

Your plan fee is credited to your RichAutomate wallet. Per-message and per-window fees are then taken from that balance, so the plan is not an extra cost on top of usage.

Is there a setup fee or a contract?

No. There is no setup fee and no lock-in. Plans are monthly and you can cancel at any time.

Are replies to customers charged?

Meta does not charge for free-form service replies sent inside the 24-hour customer service window. RichAutomate’s AED 0.0073 per-message fee applies to every message you send.

Can I use my existing UAE business number?

Yes, as long as it can receive an SMS or voice call for verification. A number already on the WhatsApp Business app can be moved to the API, or kept on the app alongside the API with coexistence. Book a demo and we will check your number with you.
