How does GetGabs handle WhatsApp Business API and Meta's per-conversation pricing?
Two layers. First, your provider's subscription (the software). Second — and this is the part people miss — Meta's own per-conversation charges, billed by category: in India roughly ₹0.86 for marketing, ₹0.11 for utility and authentication, and free for service (user-initiated) conversations within the 24-hour window.
So your real monthly cost ≈ subscription + (conversations × Meta's rate) + any markup the provider adds on those Meta fees. That markup is the hidden variable. GetGabs, for example, charges 0% markup and keeps incoming conversations free — https://saaskart.co/software/getgabs — while some providers add a surcharge per message.
If you're modeling budget, estimate business-initiated conversations per month first; that's what actually moves the bill. How are you forecasting your conversation volume?
