Understanding WhatsApp Business API Pricing 

Before diving into the calculator, let’s briefly explain how WhatsApp Business API pricing works: 

✅ Conversation-Based Model 

WhatsApp charges per 24-hour conversation session instead of per message. A conversation starts when the first message is sent and ends 24 hours later, regardless of how many messages are exchanged within that window. 

✅ Four Conversation Categories 

Meta classifies WhatsApp conversations into: 

1. Marketing – Promotional messages, upselling, offers. 

1. Utility – Order confirmations, invoices, updates. 

1. Authentication – Login codes, verification OTPs. 

1. Service – WhatsApp Customer support and query resolution. 

Each category has a different pricing tier that varies by recipient country. 

✅ First 1,000 Conversations are Free 

You get 1,000 free user-initiated conversations per month, which helps startups and small businesses begin at zero or minimal cost.
