WhatsApp

Five ways to connect WhatsApp

Three are covered by the monthly plan per number; two are Meta's official channels and go through sales. Pick one to see how it's contracted.

WPP, Baileys and WhatsMeow are open projects that connect like an ordinary client, by QR Code. A verified number and template messaging exist only on WABA or Coex.

How it's billed

The smallest plan in the catalog

R$ 12,90per number/month

Minimum subscriptionR$ 69,90per month

Multi-device straight on the protocol, with no embedded browser. It costs the same while the subscription is active, whether the number is connected or not.

Webhooks and authentication aren't charged. The platform's two billing models are in pricing, and the full integration flow — login, session and sending — is in the developers section.
