Frequently asked questions

How is WhatsApp Business API priced by country?

Meta uses a per-message (conversation-based) pricing model where the rate depends on the recipient’s country and the message category — marketing, utility or authentication. India is billed in INR (for example marketing ₹0.8631, utility and authentication ₹0.115 per message), while other markets are billed in USD. Replies sent inside the 24-hour customer service window are free in every country. This calculator multiplies the per-country, per-category rate by your monthly volume.

Are these the exact Meta rates for each country?

The India rates are Meta’s published per-message INR rates under the conversation-based model. The rates shown for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and "Other" are indicative USD figures from Meta’s public rate cards, labelled "indicative, as of June 2026". Meta updates rate cards periodically, so use the email breakdown for a current, market-specific quote before committing budget.

What does RichAutomate charge on top of Meta’s rates?

Platform, setup and monthly subscription fees are ₹0 / $0. On the Client Pay model your Meta usage is billed directly and RichAutomate adds a flat ₹0.10/msg platform fee in India (and usage-only in other markets). On the SaaS Pay model (India) you pay a single inclusive INR rate — ₹1.20 per marketing message and ₹0.30 per utility or authentication message — with Meta’s cost absorbed. There are no tiers or lock-ins. New accounts get a 14-day trial plus 100 free credits.

Why is RichAutomate cheaper than a typical BSP?

Many legacy Business Solution Providers charge a monthly platform subscription on top of Meta’s per-message usage. RichAutomate runs on the official Meta Cloud API with no platform subscription, so the only difference between providers at the same volume is that recurring fee — which RichAutomate removes entirely. The calculator shows that annual platform-fee saving for the country you select.

Does the calculator include GST or VAT?

No. All figures are usage estimates before local taxes. India figures exclude GST and the USD figures for other countries exclude VAT or local taxes that may apply at invoicing. Request the email breakdown for a tax-inclusive estimate for your billing entity.

Pay for usage. Never for the platform.
