WhatsApp Business API Pricing
Per-Message Pricing
Since 1 July 2025, Meta charges per delivered template message, based on its category, instead of per 24-hour conversation. Two ideas matter:
Business-Initiated
You send a template message (marketing, utility or authentication). Each delivered message is charged according to its category.
User-Initiated
Customer messages you first. Replies inside the 24-hour customer service window are free.
Important: Marketing messages cost more than utility and authentication messages, so choose the template category correctly.
