Meta rates are Meta's current WhatsApp rate card, refreshed October 25, 2026 (messaging rates, calling rates). Utility, authentication and calling use Meta's monthly volume tiers; marketing and service replies don't. A call that crosses a tier is billed entirely at the lower rate, so real calling costs can come in slightly under this estimate. Taxes aren't included.
AI agent costs are estimates. Calling uses Voice AI Agents rates: a $0.05-a-minute voice engine plus model tokens, estimated the same way as the Voice AI Agents calculator. The voice engine rounds each call up to 60 seconds, which isn't included here. For a detailed estimate including call recording, an agent knowledge base or other add-ons, contact us.
