To purchase WhatsApp credits, click the account dropdown and select My Plan > SMS & WhatsApp messages. To learn more, check our dedicated section in About add-ons or Pay as you go.
💰 How much is a WhatsApp message on Brevo, and how am I charged?
Since July 1rst, 2025, Meta's pricing has been updated.
The cost of a WhatsApp message depends on:
- The recipient's country code
- The type of template used, Marketing or Utility, which reflects the purpose of your message:
Marketing Utility - WhatsApp campaigns to promote products or offers.
- Automations to serve marketing strategies such as welcome or anniversary messages.
- Transactional messages to send shipping updates, order updates, and account verifications.
- WhatsApp messages sent on Conversations outside a 24-hour messaging window.
❗️ ImportantCharges for utility and marketing template messages can cumulate. If you send a marketing template and restart a conversation, you will be charged of both a marketing and utility template.
The sending of one WhatsApp message requires multiple credits, with costs depending on your recipient's country code. For example, sending campaigns to North America costs less than to Indonesia. To learn more about WhatsApp credits and pricing, check our WhatsApp pricing calculator.
