How WhatsApp Business API Pricing Actually Works

WhatsApp Business API cost is composed of two primary components: Platform Software Subscription (paid to your BSP or CRM provider) and Official Meta Conversation Charges (charged per delivered message based on category).

Platform Software Fee

This is the monthly or annual subscription charged by the WhatsApp Business Solution Provider (BSP) or SaaS platform (such as TryowBOT, WATI, AiSensy, or Interakt) for access to the team inbox, automation flow builder, contact CRM, broadcast manager, and API integrations.

  • Multi-agent shared team inbox
  • No-code chatbot flow builder & triggers
  • Contact CRM, tags, and audience segmentation

Meta Conversation / Template Charges

These are per-message charges billed for template conversations across 4 categories: Marketing (₹0.90), Utility (₹0.20), Authentication (₹0.20), and Service (₹0.20). TryowBOT passes these at direct cost with 0% markup.

  • Direct Meta billing — no hidden commission
  • Pre-approved templates for Marketing & Utility
  • Zero markup on official conversation rates
