India Meta list rates (recipient in India)
Effective July 1, 2026, Meta’s published list rates for India include marketing ₹0.8631, utility ₹0.1150, and authentication ₹0.1150 per delivered template. Authentication-international is ₹2.4971 when that Meta rule applies to the WABA.
Indian businesses messaging overseas customers pay the destination market’s Meta rates, not automatically the India row.
Four lines on a WhatsApp API bill
Wapikon does not set or control Meta’s WhatsApp rates. Meta publishes conversation and template charges by destination market and category. Wapikon’s calculator shows those list rates and does not add a markup on Meta conversation charges.
A complete cost picture has four parts. Mixing them into one “per message” quote hides which vendor you are paying.
- Meta / WhatsApp messaging charges — marketing, utility, and authentication templates billed by Meta according to the recipient’s country. Service replies inside an open customer-care window follow Meta’s current service rules.
- Wapikon platform charges — the workspace subscription (inbox, Flow Builder, broadcasts, AI agent with human takeover, omnichannel). Plans are listed on the public pricing section; UAE teams can discuss AED billing. This is not a Meta fee.
- Optional services — email you send through SMTP or an ESP (Brevo, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, Resend) is billed by that provider. Wapikon does not invent a bundled ESP tariff here. Flow Builder is included in Wapikon plans rather than sold as a separate bot SKU.
- Taxes — GST, VAT, or other taxes may appear on the Wapikon invoice according to the billing entity and local rules. The invoice is the source of truth. This site does not invent a tax percentage.
GST and other tax
India GST may apply on the Wapikon platform subscription as shown on the invoice. This page does not invent a GST percentage. Meta conversation charges remain Meta’s published rates; tax treatment of pass-through messaging fees is whatever your invoice shows.
Pricing methodology
Meta template rates on this site come from Meta’s public WhatsApp Business Platform rate card, effective July 1, 2026. Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing/. They are regenerated from Meta’s published files — not guessed.
The calculator multiplies the list rate for the selected destination market and category by the message counts you enter. Utility messages you mark as free inside the customer-care window are not multiplied. Volume-tier discounts, failed deliveries, quality pauses, and WABA billing currency can change the real Meta invoice.
Wapikon subscription amounts are not hardcoded on these pages because plans are shown live on the pricing section and can be quoted in INR or AED. Never treat the calculator total as “Wapikon’s price.” It is an estimate of Meta list fees only.
Worked examples (Meta list rates only)
10,000 marketing templates to Indian numbers
₹0.8631 × 10,000 ≈ ₹8,631.00 Meta list fees (effective July 1, 2026).
Mixed month to Indian numbers
10,000 marketing + 5,000 billable utility + 2,000 authentication ≈ ₹9,436.00 Meta list fees, excluding Wapikon subscription and GST.
