WhatsApp Business API: The Meta Cloud API With No Markup

The WhatsApp Business API connects your business to WhatsApp with features the consumer app cannot offer: shared inbox, broadcasts, automation, and integrations. Meta bills per conversation by category since November 2024, and Wutt passes those fees through at cost. Connect via Meta Cloud API or a QR session, from $11/month.

What is the WhatsApp Business API?

The API is the connection Meta provides for businesses to reach WhatsApp at scale. It is what makes a shared inbox, broadcasts, and automation possible. Wutt provides the software around it; Meta provides the connection and bills for conversations.

02 · Section

WhatsApp Business app vs API: which do I need?

The Business app runs on one phone, one person, no automation. The API runs in the cloud: whole teams, templates, campaigns, integrations. If more than one person replies or you send campaigns, you need the API. Wutt handles the API side so you never manage Meta's console.

  • Business app: one phone, one person, basic labels
  • API: shared inbox, templates, campaigns, integrations
  • Wutt: the API connection and software, from $11/month

How does WhatsApp conversation pricing work?

Since November 2024, Meta bills per conversation, not per message. A conversation is a 24-hour window opened by a customer message or an approved template. Conversations fall into categories — marketing, utility, authentication, service — each with its own rate, and service conversations inside the service window are free.

04 · Section

Does Wutt add markup to Meta fees?

No. Whatever Meta charges for a conversation, Wutt passes through at cost. Your only costs are the Wutt plan and Meta's fee. Many resellers mark fees up; Wutt does not.

05 · Section

How much does it cost to start?

The first month is $1. Starter is $11/month, Growth is $99/month, and Unlimited is $299/month. Meta's conversation fees are billed separately at Meta's published rates.

Common questions

No. You can connect your existing number through the Meta Cloud API or a QR session, so customers keep the number they know.

The Cloud API is Meta's hosted solution, with no server to manage. Wutt connects through the Cloud API or a QR session, and you never touch Meta's console.

Yes, to opted-in contacts, using approved templates. Marketing conversations are billed by Meta in the marketing category at Meta's rate.

Wutt handles the connection, including QR sessions that skip the full Meta onboarding. A Meta Business Manager helps with template approvals and payments.
