Every provider sends through the same Meta Cloud API at the same Meta rates. What changes is what the provider adds on top. Here is how our model compares with the plan-plus-markup model most resellers use. For named comparisons, see Wati vs WAutomate, SleekFlow vs WAutomate and Interakt vs WAutomate.
| WAutomate | Typical reseller | |
|---|---|---|
| Meta message charges | Billed by Meta to your own card, at cost | Often resold with a markup per message |
| Platform fee per message | AED 0.0073 per message | Bundled into the marked-up rate |
| Monthly plan | From AED 33, credited to your wallet | Monthly plan on top of usage |
| Setup fee | None | Sometimes charged |
| Contract | Monthly, cancel anytime | Annual billing often required for the best price |
With WAutomate you pay a plan from AED 33 per month, plus AED 0.0073 per message and AED 0.0147 per 24-hour conversation window.

Yes. Every price on this page is in UAE dirhams, converted from our US dollar price list at the fixed central-bank peg of AED 3.6725 per dollar. Your WAutomate wallet is charged in US dollars, so the dirham amount on your card statement matches these figures.
No. Outside India we only offer Client Pay: Meta bills your business directly, at Meta’s own rate, on the card in your Meta Business Manager. WAutomate earns only the plan and the small per-message and per-window fees shown here.
Your plan fee is credited to your WAutomate wallet. Per-message and per-window fees are then taken from that balance, so the plan is not an extra cost on top of usage.
No. There is no setup fee and no lock-in. Plans are monthly and you can cancel at any time.
Meta does not charge for free-form service replies sent inside the 24-hour customer service window. WAutomate’s AED 0.0073 per-message fee applies to every message you send.
