Pricing
Meta bills you for WhatsApp’s messages. We charge a small fee for the software. Here are both, side by side.
The two bills
Meta changes its rates on its own schedule, so they live on Meta’s pricing page, not copied here where they would go out of date. Our calculator shows both bills together.
What we charge
Your rate lasts as long as your balance does — not a month. Topping up a little later never makes it worse.

In the product
Billing in talkvBilling shows what you have left to spend, the rate your top-ups have earned, and roughly how many more messages that buys.
The statement lists every rupee in and out as its own line — the welcome credit, each top-up, and each broadcast — and says that WhatsApp’s own charges come from Meta, not from us.
When you are charged
A wrong number, a lost phone, somebody who blocked you — the message never arrives, so it costs you nothing.
Who received it
Five hundred people were skipped, each for a reason recorded against them. A message with an empty variable in it is rejected by Meta anyway, and a message to somebody who opted out is the one that gets a business blocked.
What it cost
The whole ₹575 was blocked before the first message went out, because every one of them might arrive. What was charged is what did. This figure is the platform fee only — Meta billed the same broadcast separately, to the card on the customer's own WhatsApp Business Account.
Free
We never charge for a reply. Meta charges only past 1,000 a month per number.
Greetings, away messages and keyword answers.
Contacts, groups, templates, reports, team members. None of it is metered, and there is no per-seat fee.
Questions about money
No — it is ₹50 of talkv’s fee, which covers our side of up to 500 delivered messages. Meta still bills your own card for each message. It is added once, when a new account is created, and does not count towards a cheaper rate.
No. You top up a balance and it is used as messages are delivered. No monthly fee, no per-seat charge, no contract, and the balance never expires.
No. A rate stays as long as there is balance left. Adding ₹500 on top of an unspent ₹10,000 keeps what the ₹10,000 bought.
Not by talkv. We charge only for template messages — the same rate from a broadcast, the inbox or the API — and never for a reply inside WhatsApp’s 24-hour window or anything an automation sends. Separately, since 1 October 2026 Meta charges for replies beyond 1,000 per number per month.
Yes, at high volume. Rates below ₹0.05 are agreed with us directly. Write to us with the volume you expect.

₹50 credit to start and no monthly fee. Your number and your chats stay yours.
