The credits a plan gives depend on your billing model. The headline figure is the Client Pay bundle; on SaaS Pay the plan credits the smaller figure shown under it, because your per-message price already covers Meta's charge on a single GST-inclusive invoice. The features are identical either way — only the billing changes. Each paid month adds those credits to your wallet, every message is charged from that balance at standard per-message rates, and you can top up any time. All plan prices are GST-inclusive in INR. Upgrade, downgrade, or switch to pay-as-you-go any time. Terms & conditions apply.

Add your own AI providers (BYOK) to any plan — connect OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Sarvam and pay the AI provider directly, no markup. Available on Starter, Pro & White-label as an add-on, and included in Custom.

Quick answer

WAutomate plans start at ₹499/mo for Starter, ₹899/mo for Pro and ₹1,199/mo for White-label, with a fully configurable Custom plan priced on a tailored contract — all GST-inclusive in INR with ₹0 setup and a 14-day free trial. Messages are billed on top: Client Pay charges ₹0.10/msg flat and Meta bills you direct, while SaaS Pay charges ₹0.96 per marketing message and ₹0.36 per utility or authentication message on one INR invoice. There is no subscription floor if you stay pay-as-you-go.

[ HOW YOU PAY FOR MESSAGES ]

WhatsApp (Meta) charges per message — that is the same for everyone. You choose how that cost reaches you. The features in your plan are identical either way; only the billing changes. Prefer no monthly plan? You can stay fully pay-as-you-go on both models below. Read the full Client Pay vs SaaS Pay billing comparison if you want the per-message maths.

CLIENT PAY

Pay Meta direct.

You pay Meta directly, we add a small flat platform fee. Two invoices (Meta + us). Best if you send high volume or you are an agency billing clients separately.

Marketing message₹0.8000 to Meta + ₹0.10
Utility message₹0.3000 to Meta + ₹0.10
Authentication₹0.3000 to Meta + ₹0.10
Service (24h reply window)₹0 + ₹0.10
Subscription floor₹0
PICK CLIENT PAY IF…
  • You send high volume and want the lowest unit cost
  • You are an agency billing each client separately
  • You are fine holding a Meta credit card
SAAS PAY

All-inclusive INR.

We handle all the Meta billing. You top up one INR wallet, get one GST invoice — no Meta credit card, no currency headache. Best for SMBs and first-time WhatsApp users.

Marketing message₹0.96 all-in
Utility message₹0.36 all-in
Authentication₹0.36 all-in
Service (24h reply window)₹0
Subscription floor₹0
PICK SAAS PAY IF…
  • You want one simple GST invoice in INR, no Meta card
  • You send lower volume
  • You want the fastest, zero-setup start

GST: all INR rates are GST-inclusive — your wallet top-up is the amount you pay, GST included, and we issue a GST invoice against it. On Client Pay, Meta bills its own per-message charges to you directly and applies GST separately on that invoice. You can switch between Client Pay and SaaS Pay any time — takes about 3 days, zero downtime, your templates & contacts stay put.

Meta per-message rates apply across all BSPs and are published at business.whatsapp.com. Verified against India 2026 rates as of July 2026. Outside India? See USD pricing for Singapore, the UAE, the UK, the US and more, or UAE pricing in AED.
