Three things worth knowing
- Yes. The rate depends on where your customer is, not where you are.
- Your first 1,000 replies each month are free, per phone number.
- Marketing messages cost about three times a normal reply, and Meta decides which category a message falls into, not you.
Rates checked against Meta's published rate card on 1 October 2026. Meta changes them periodically.
That's Meta's bill. Ours is £29 to £249 a month depending on what you need, plus set-up. See pricing · Book a demo
