A note on WhatsApp message pricing
Meta charges every WhatsApp Business platform per message, so message fees are the same underlying cost whichever tool you pick. VritantAI Convert passes those Meta fees through at cost. As of 26 Jul 2026, Meta's published India marketing rate is ₹0.7846 per message. See Meta's published rates. Compare each vendor's markup on top of that with the WhatsApp True-Cost Calculator.
