Pricing Update

Meta is introducing significant changes to WhatsApp Business Platform pricing to create a more streamlined and value-driven messaging experience. Starting 1st May 2025, businesses will transition from conversation-based pricing to a per-message pricing model for template messages. This means that service conversations and utility templates within the 24-hour customer service window will become completely free.

2025 Meta Pricing

  • Meta will charge on a per-message basis instead of per-conversation, to simplify pricing and better align to industry standard-pricing for messaging.
  • Utility template messages sent in response to a user's message (thus within an open customer service window) will become free, to provide more flexibility to businesses in how they engage with users.
  • Utility and Authentication rates across several markets have been updated as part of continued efforts to ensure prices are on-par with alternative channels.
  • Introduced volume tiers for Utility and Authentication to incentivize and reward growth on the platform. Businesses can automatically unlock more attractive pricing as they reach higher volume tiers.
