Common questions
How does WhatsApp Business API pricing work?
Meta charges per "conversation" (a 24-hour window between a business and one customer), not per message. Four categories: Marketing (most expensive), Utility, Authentication, Service (free). 2026 Israel rates: Marketing ~₪0.13, Utility ~₪0.06, Authentication ~₪0.035. Plus most businesses pay a BSP (platform) ~₪175-450/month.
What is a "service conversation" and why is it free?
A service conversation = the customer messaged you and you reply within 24 hours. Meta removed the charge for this category in July 2025 to encourage quality service. Utility conversations sent inside the same service window are also effectively free. The calculator shows the worst case (outside-window).
Which BSPs operate in Israel?
Major BSPs with local support: Twilio (global, flexible, expensive), 360dialog (German, transparent pricing), GreenAPI (cheap, less polished), Vibrate (Israeli), MessageBird/Bird. Most charge $50-150/month on top of Meta's rates. Choose based on Hebrew support, SLA reliability and API flexibility.
How do I calculate ROI vs a human agent?
A customer-support agent in Israel costs ₪60-120/hour fully loaded. WhatsApp Business API automation can save 10-30 agent hours/month for an SMB handling 300-1,500 monthly inquiries. If hours-saved × hourly-cost > API + platform cost, automation pays off.
Does FullnessCRM integrate with WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. FullnessCRM ships with a built-in WhatsApp Business integration: templates, automation, automatic customer matching, and full conversation history. See the "WhatsApp עסקי" feature page in the main nav for a demo.
