Meta now charges per message, not per conversation — and those charges never pass through us. See what that means 
VartaAPI

Why this is cheaper

Most platforms resell you messages. We’re not allowed to.

Meta licenses two kinds of company. The difference decides who your money goes to, and almost nobody explains it on their pricing page.

Solution Partner

They buy messages and sell them on

  • Meta bills them. They bill you, at their own rate.
  • The margin on every message is theirs, and you can’t see it.
  • You top up a prepaid wallet before you can send.
  • Leaving means untangling your number from their billing.
Tech Provider — us

Meta bills you, and we never see it

  • ✓Your card is attached to your WhatsApp account.
  • ✓You pay Meta’s published rate — no markup, because we can’t add one.
  • ✓No wallet to top up. Your plan is the whole of what you pay us.
  • ✓You hold your number’s PIN, so you can move it any day you like.
What a month actually costs2,000 marketing messagesA reseller charges you for the same messages at their rate, and keeps the difference. We are a Meta Tech Provider— we are not allowed to, and we don’t want to.
