What Meta charges, which is not ours

The assistant runs on the WhatsApp Business Platform, and Meta charges its part directly. Since July 1, 2025, it charges for each template message delivered, with a different price depending on the recipient's country and the message category: marketing, utility or authentication. Conversations your own customer opens to ask you something are not charged while the service window lasts, and that is where most of a small business's conversation happens.

It is usually little money next to the monthly fee, but it depends on how many reminders you send. We calculate it with your volume before starting, so it does not show up later.

What you will compare us with, and when we are not a fit

Almost nobody compares this with another agency. They compare it with a software subscription, and that is a fair comparison worth doing right. The best-known WhatsApp chatbot tools list their entry plan at around $59 a month in the United States, and it varies by country. At that price you get access to the tool: the flows, the templates, the calendar connection, the testing and the upkeep are on you.

What we charge for here is having someone set it up and keep it running. That is why there is a setup fee, which software does not have, and why the monthly fee is higher.

When we are not a fit: if someone on your team has the time and the will to build it, the software route is cheaper. I will tell you that before charging you, not after. What I see almost every time is that this someone does not exist, and the cheap tool ends up in a drawer without having answered a single message.

What if my business is in Spain, Mexico or Colombia?

The price is the same and it is set in dollars. What changes is the tax added and how you can pay. We would rather publish the rule than four price lists that age badly.

What we need from you

Not much, and it helps to know it up front so nobody ends up waiting on the other.

  • Your business WhatsApp number, or a new one if you'd rather keep it separate from your personal one.
  • Your prices, hours and address, however you have them: a spreadsheet, a PDF or a voice note telling me.
  • The ten or fifteen questions you get the most. If you don't have them written down, we pull them together on a call.
  • A person the assistant can hand the conversation to when a case gets complicated.

The 30-day guarantee, step by step

  1. 1. Before going live, we put in writing what the assistant has to answer and what it has to hand to a person.
  2. 2. If during the following 30 days it does not answer as written, you tell me with the specific example.
  3. 3. I keep working at no extra charge until it answers the way we agreed.

The 30 days count from when the assistant goes live, not from when you sign.

Questions about the price

Why is there a setup fee and also a monthly fee?

They are two different things. The setup fee covers building the assistant: connecting your WhatsApp, loading your prices and your hours, teaching it to answer the way your business answers and testing it with real cases. The monthly fee covers keeping it running: that it does not go down, that it is adjusted when your prices change and that it improves with what it learns from the conversations.

Why is this not like paying $59 a month for a tool?

Because you are not buying a tool, you are paying for someone to set it up and keep it running. The best-known WhatsApp chatbot tools list their entry plan at around $59 a month in the United States, and at that price you get access to the software: the flows, the templates, the calendar connection and the upkeep are on you, or you pay for them separately. If you have someone to do that, that route is cheaper and I will tell you so straight. If you do not, that software ends up in a drawer.

Does Meta charge separately?

Yes, and it is worth knowing up front. Since July 1, 2025, Meta charges for each template message delivered, with a different price depending on the country and the message category. Conversations the customer opens to ask for help are not charged while the service window lasts. It is usually a small number next to the monthly fee, but it depends on volume, and we calculate it for you before starting.

What happens if I want to cancel?

You cancel the monthly fee and that is it. There is no minimum term and no penalty. The assistant stops being maintained, and what was built is handed to you documented.

Does the price change depending on my country?

The price is set in dollars for all four markets and quoted in your currency at the exchange rate of the day. What does change is the tax added and how you can pay. It is all laid out above.

What if I ask for a change after delivery?

Adjustments to what was agreed fall under the 30-day guarantee, at no cost. Anything that is new functionality is quoted separately, and I tell you the price before I start, never after.

I run a medical office. Is it the same package?

Not exactly. A medical office takes work a restaurant does not: reviewing what information enters the channel and what does not, and writing the templates so a reminder does not reveal what the appointment is for. That work is included in the setup, but it is worth saying up front so there are no surprises on either side. It is explained on the medical offices page.

Which one fits you?

Tell me what you answer all day and I will tell you which one to start with, even if it is the cheapest.
