WhatsApp Conversation Fees (Effective from July 1, 2025)

(Effective from July 1, 2025)

Updates from July 1, 2025

  • WhatsApp will charge on a per-message basis instead of per-conversation, to simplify their pricing and better align to industry standard-pricing for messaging.

  • Utility template messages sent in response to a user's message (thus within an open customer service window) will become free, to provide more flexibility to businesses in how they engage with users.

  • Update the utility and authentication rates across several markets as part of continued efforts to ensure we price on-par with alternative channels.

  • Refine the definition of utility, based on user engagement and sentiment, thus shift specific use cases to/from the utility category.

Per-message pricing

Per-message pricing will apply to all businesses starting July 1, 2025, at 12am, by WhatsApp Business Account timezone. With per-message pricing, businesses on WhatsApp platform will be charged:

  • Per delivered marketing template message

  • Per delivered authentication template message

  • Per delivered utility template message, if delivered outside of a customer service window

For example, if you send a marketing template and then two utility templates to a WhatsApp user, that will incur 3 charges (1 marketing, 2 utility). If the 2 utility templates are sent while a customer service window is open between you and the user, however, it would only incur a single charge (1 marketing).

More details can refer to: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing/updates-to-pricing

Message Template Categories

  • Marketing – Enable businesses to achieve a wide range of goals, from generating awareness to driving sales and retargeting customers. Examples can include new product/service/feature announcements; targeted promotions/offers; or cart abandonment reminders.

  • Utility – Enable businesses to send non-promotional messages that are either specific to and requested by the user or essential or critical to the user. Examples can include order-related updates, payment reminders, or fraud awareness messages.

  • Authentication – Enable businesses to verify a user’s identity, potentially at various steps of the customer journey.

The charges will be calculated based on the end-user phone number.
