Quick answer
RichAutomate offers a 14-day WhatsApp Business API free trial in India with 100 message credits and full feature access — flow builder, campaigns, shared team inbox — on the official Meta Cloud API. No credit card is needed to start, and the platform fee is ₹0 even after the trial: you then pay per message only, via Client Pay (₹0.10/msg + Meta bills you direct) or SaaS Pay (₹1.20 per marketing message, ₹0.30 per utility/authentication message, inclusive). Most businesses go live in 24–48 hours.
[ 14-DAY TEST PLAN ]
Seven things to pressure-test before you pay anyone.
A free trial is only useful if you test the things that hurt later. These are the seven we'd check on any WhatsApp Business API platform — including ours.

Template approval
Submit real marketing and utility templates to Meta from the dashboard and time how quickly they come back approved.

Deliverability
Send templates to your own and your team’s numbers and watch sent → delivered → read ticks update in realtime.

05 / 07
Flow builder
Build a drag-and-drop chatbot flow — keyword triggers, conditions, delays, lead capture — and run it against a real conversation.
06 / 07

Support response

[ 100 CREDITS ]
What 100 message credits actually covers.
An illustrative split — spend your credits however you like. It's enough to validate onboarding, deliverability, automation, and a small live broadcast.
Template approval + deliverability tests
Send approved templates to your own numbers and verify ticks.
Chatbot flow test conversations
Trigger your flow end-to-end with a handful of test contacts.
A small pilot broadcast
A real mini-campaign to a warm segment — enough to see open behaviour.
Team inbox + followup practice
Two-way conversations across teammates in the shared inbox.
Illustrative split only — credits are not bucketed; use all 100 however you want. Model your post-trial spend with the WABA cost calculator.
[ AFTER THE TRIAL ]
Day 15 honesty: what you'll actually pay.
Most "free trials" in this market end at a ₹2,499–₹12,000/month subscription wall. Ours doesn't. The platform fee is ₹0 forever — you pay per message only, on whichever billing model fits you.
CLIENT PAY
₹0.10 /msg platform fee
Meta bills you directly at its published per-message rates on your own card. Lowest unit cost at scale.
SAAS PAY
₹1.20 /marketing msg
₹0.30 per utility/authentication message, inclusive of Meta's charge. One INR + GST invoice, no Meta card needed.
- ₹0 platform fee — during the trial and after it
- ₹0 setup fee, ₹0 monthly subscription floor
- No auto-charge at trial end — there’s no card on file to charge
- Switch between Client Pay and SaaS Pay any time

01
Create your free account
Sign up at richautomate.in/register — name, email, password. No credit card. Your 14-day trial and 100 credits activate immediately.
02
Connect your number via Meta embedded signup
The guided Meta embedded signup links your WhatsApp Business Account in minutes. Use a fresh number or migrate an existing WABA.
03
Send your first template
Submit a template, get it approved by Meta, and send it from the dashboard — your first delivered tick usually lands within 24–48 hours of signup.
Template review timing and messaging-tier limits on new numbers are controlled by Meta, not RichAutomate — the 24–48 hour go-live window is what most businesses see in practice, not a guarantee.
[ FAQ ]
Free trial questions, answered.
Is the RichAutomate WhatsApp Business API trial really free?+
Yes. The trial is 14 days with 100 message credits and full feature access — flow builder, campaigns, shared team inbox, templates — on the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. No credit card is required to start, and there is no setup fee. The platform fee is ₹0 during the trial and stays ₹0 after it.
What happens after the 14-day free trial ends?+
The platform fee stays ₹0 — you only start paying per message. Choose Client Pay (₹0.10/msg platform fee while Meta bills you directly at its published rates) or SaaS Pay (inclusive rates of ₹1.20 per marketing message and ₹0.30 per utility/authentication message on a single INR + GST invoice). There is no monthly subscription floor on either model.
Do I need Meta Business Verification to start the trial?+
No — you can sign up and explore the full platform without it. To connect a live WhatsApp number you go through Meta’s embedded signup, which links your Meta Business Account; Meta may ask for business verification to lift messaging limits as you scale, but starting the trial and testing the platform does not require completed verification.
How fast can I go live on the WhatsApp Business API?+
Most businesses go live in 24–48 hours: create the account in minutes, connect a number through Meta embedded signup the same day, and send the first approved template once Meta clears it — template review is often a few hours. Migrating an existing WABA from another provider follows a similar timeline.
What is NOT included in the free trial?+
The trial does not include unlimited messaging — you get 100 message credits, after which you top up and pay per message. Meta’s own per-message conversation charges and Meta’s messaging-tier limits on new numbers apply as usual, since those are set by Meta, not RichAutomate. There are no locked features: the flow builder, campaigns, team inbox, and developer API are all open during the trial.
