Whatsapp Conversation Fees

(Effective from 1st June, 2023)

Conversation Based Pricing Policy

WhatsApp Business API charges businesses per conversation. All messages of the same category in a 24 hour messaging window are counted as 1 conversation. WhatsApp conversations fall into 4 categories that are priced differently:

Marketing conversations: Include promotions or offers, informational updates, or invitations for customers to respond / take action. Any conversation that does not qualify as utility or authentication is a marketing conversation.

Utility conversations: Facilitate a specific, agreed-upon request or transaction or update to a customer about an ongoing transaction, including post-purchase notifications and recurring billing statements

Authentication conversations: Enable businesses to authenticate users with one-time passcodes, potentially at multiple steps in the login process (e.g., account verification, account recovery, integrity challenges)

Service Conversations: All user-initiated conversations will be categorized as service conversations, which help customers resolve enquiries.

First 1000 user initiated conversations each month will be free for each WhatsApp Business Account (WABA)
