Guide
Budgeting for WhatsApp means combining Meta's conversation fees with your platform plan. Here is how to estimate total costs before you scale.
Estimate how many conversations you will start each month across categories and countries.
Use a pricing calculator to apply Meta's category and country rates to your forecast.
Subtract conversations likely to start from free entry points like click-to-WhatsApp ads.
Include your provider's monthly plan on top of Meta's fees for the true total.
Recheck as volumes grow, since hitting higher tiers and new markets changes the math.
Two parts: Meta's per-conversation fees, which vary by category and country, plus your provider's platform subscription. Add both to get your real cost.
Use a pricing calculator with your expected volumes and target countries to project Meta fees, then add your chosen platform plan.
