WhatsApp Business in North America — what to know

Since July 1, 2025, Meta charges per delivered template message. The conversation-based 24-hour window pricing is gone. The rate for North America depends only on the recipient market, not on where your business is based. Service messages (replies within the 24-hour customer service window) are free.

Click-to-WhatsApp ads and Facebook Page CTA buttons open a 72-hour window during which all messages are free — even those that would otherwise be billed as Marketing or Utility.

Note: Meta groups US + CA under one market.

Frequently asked questions

What does a WhatsApp marketing message cost in North America? ⌄

In North America, Meta charges 0.0250 USD per delivered marketing template message since July 1, 2025. The rate applies regardless of your business location — what matters is the recipient market.

Are Authentication messages cheaper than Marketing? ⌄

Usually yes. Authentication rates sit well below Marketing — reflecting the lower commercial value of OTP/login traffic. For cross-border sending, the "Authentication International" tier applies, which is higher again.

When are WhatsApp messages free? ⌄

Two cases: (1) Service messages — any reply within the 24-hour customer service window has been completely free since July 1, 2025. (2) Free entry points — Click-to-WhatsApp ads and Facebook Page CTA buttons open a 72-hour window during which all messages, including Marketing, are free.

What is a BSP and do I need one? ⌄

A Business Solution Provider (BSP) is a platform that sits between your business and the Meta Cloud API — e.g. Superchat, 360dialog, Twilio, MessageBird/Bird. You can skip a BSP if you can integrate the Cloud API yourself. As soon as you want inbox, template management or CRM integration, a BSP pays off. Markups range from 0 USD (Meta Direct) to ~0.015 USD per message plus monthly base fee.
