$15/month WhatsApp platform fee

One flat fee per connected WhatsApp Business Account, on top of per-message rates above — covers onboarding, infrastructure, and account upkeep. Waived automatically for any month your WhatsApp messaging spend already reaches $75.

Per delivered message

You're charged when a template message is delivered, by category and destination country. Non-template messages inside a service window are free.

No WABA required

No connected WhatsApp Business Account? Sendexa automatically routes through our own shared number so sends still go out, billed to your account at the same rates.

OTP on WhatsApp

Authentication-category pricing above is exactly what powers WhatsApp delivery on the Verify API — see the Verify pricing for the full per-channel breakdown.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Why is pricing per message instead of per conversation?

Meta (WhatsApp's parent) switched the whole platform from 24-hour-conversation billing to per-message billing on July 1, 2025. You're charged per delivered template message, not per conversation window.

What's the difference between Marketing, Utility, and Authentication?

Marketing covers promotions and offers. Utility covers transactional messages like order confirmations and alerts. Authentication covers OTPs and login codes — that's what powers Sendexa's Verify API on WhatsApp. Each has its own rate per country.

Are replies to customers free?

Yes, today — a Service message (your reply to an incoming customer message) is free. That changes on October 1, 2026, when Meta starts billing Service messages at the same rate as Utility, after a 1,000-free-per-month allowance.

Do I need my own WhatsApp Business Account?

No — if you don't have one connected, Sendexa automatically falls back to our own shared WhatsApp number so your messages still send, billed to your account at these same rates.
