WhatsApp Business API Pricing Calculator

Meta moved WhatsApp Business Platform billing to per-message pricing on 1 July 2025: a template message is charged only when it is delivered, based on its category and the recipient's market. Search your market below, then adjust the rates and volumes to estimate a monthly bill on Chronex360.

Chats started via Click-to-WhatsApp ad / Facebook Page CTA

Every message exchanged inside a free-entry-point's 72-hour window is free, regardless of category — entered for reference; it does not add to cost.

How this maps to Meta's model: only marketing templates are always billable; utility and authentication templates are billable only when sent outside an open 24-hour customer-service window. Session messages, in-window template replies, and anything inside a free entry-point window are $0. Reaching monthly volume tiers can unlock lower Utility/Authentication rates — re-check your rate card if volumes shift materially.
