How much does WhatsApp Business API setup cost?

Setup (verification, number, templates, click-to-chat) is AED 2,900. Automation with flows, lead capture and human handover is AED 4,400. An AI agent grounded in your documents with CRM sync starts at AED 9,500. Meta's per-message charges are billed by Meta at cost on top.

WhatsApp Business app or API: which do we need?

The free app suits one person on one phone. The API is for a team: several agents on one number, automation, approved templates and a CRM connection. If more than one person answers customers, you need the API.

Do we keep the number and the account?

Yes. The WhatsApp Business account is registered to your business from day one. A number held by an agency is leverage over you, and we do not take it.

Can we keep our existing number?

Usually yes. A number currently on the consumer or Business app has to be moved to the API. We handle that during setup and agree the switch-over date with you so no customer messages go unanswered.

Can an AI agent answer price and availability questions?

Yes, if it answers from your own documents and price lists, and hands anything complex to a person with the conversation history kept. That is the AI Agent + CRM tier.

What can we send to customers?

Replies inside an open conversation are free-form. Messages you start outside that 24-hour window must use templates that Meta approves, and getting those approved is part of the work.
