Meta moved WhatsApp Business API to per-message billing on 1 July 2025. Here's the current India rate card — passed through transparently with no hidden SMSGatewayHub markup.

Message Category Meta India Rate (2026) Used For Volume Discount

Service (free-form reply) Free* Human/bot replies inside the open 24-hr window Chargeable from 1 Oct 2026

*Rates exclude 18% GST and are Meta's published India list price, revised quarterly — last confirmed for the July 2026 cycle. Utility templates sent inside an already-open service window are also free today. Actual quotes may vary by BSP; SMSGatewayHub passes through Meta's wholesale rate without markup.

Meta will start charging for service messages and for Utility templates sent inside an already-open 24-hour customer service window — both free today. From 1 August 2026, Meta Business AI Agent messages also become chargeable. Plan your template design and support workflows accordingly.

WhatsApp API Key Questions

Everything you need to know before going live on the Official WhatsApp Business Platform.

WhatsApp Business API (now called the WhatsApp Business Platform / Cloud API) is Meta's enterprise messaging infrastructure for businesses that need to send and receive WhatsApp messages at scale through software, CRMs and chatbots. Unlike the free WhatsApp Business App used on a single phone, the API has no standalone app interface, supports multiple agents and automation, and is accessed through a certified partner like SMSGatewayHub.
As per Meta's 2026 India rate card, Marketing template messages cost ₹0.8631 per message, while Utility and Authentication template messages cost ₹0.1150 per message, plus 18% GST. Service replies inside an open 24-hour customer window remain free today but are scheduled to become chargeable from 1 October 2026 under Meta's revised policy.
The green tick is Meta's official business verification badge shown next to a WhatsApp Business Account name. It confirms the account belongs to a verified, authentic business and is granted after Meta Business Manager verification and brand review — SMSGatewayHub assists with the entire application.
These are Meta's three WhatsApp template categories. Marketing templates cover promotions and offers and carry the highest per-message rate with no volume discount. Utility templates cover order updates, reminders and alerts and are cheaper, with volume-based discounts. Authentication templates deliver OTPs and login codes and are priced the lowest of the three.
From 1 October 2026, Meta will start charging for service messages (free-form replies) and for Utility templates sent inside an already-open 24-hour customer service window — both of which are free today. Businesses should plan ahead for this shift in their WhatsApp budgeting.
With documents in order, Meta Business Manager verification and WhatsApp Business Account setup through SMSGatewayHub typically completes within a few working days, followed by template approval which is usually granted within minutes to a few hours per template.
Yes. SMSGatewayHub provides REST APIs, webhooks and ready plugins, including WooCommerce, so you can trigger WhatsApp messages from your website, mobile app, CRM or ERP, and receive customer replies back into your own systems in real time.
Yes, SMSGatewayHub offers a free demo and test credits so you can try template messaging, the chatbot builder and the shared team inbox before going live. Book a demo to get started.
