Meta bills per conversation type, not per message. Understanding the four buckets saves lakhs at scale.
Why this matters in 2026
Businesses moving off unofficial bulk senders need operational playbooks that respect Meta quality rating, DPDP/GDPR consent and measurable ROI. This article is written for teams implementing WhatsApp Business API Conversation Pricing in India on the Cloud API — not WhatsApp Web hacks.
