All run on the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API.

How much does WhatsApp Business automation cost in India?

RichAutomate charges ₹0 platform fee, ₹0 setup and ₹0 monthly — you pay only Meta usage. On Client Pay it is ₹0.10 per message over Meta direct rates; on SaaS Pay it is ₹1.20 per marketing message and ₹0.30 per utility or authentication message. Every account includes a 14-day free trial plus 100 free credits. As of June 2026.

Are these WhatsApp use cases DPDP Act 2023 compliant?

Yes. Every RichAutomate playbook captures explicit opt-in consent, supports one-click STOP opt-out, keeps a 5-year consent audit log, and exposes a grievance officer field on the tenant dashboard. Data is India-hosted with GST-compliant INR invoicing, so Indian businesses meet DPDP Act 2023 obligations without retro-fitting a foreign BSP schema.
