What a month costs: two examples
Plan fee plus WhatsApp message charges, on the entry paid plan, before GST and add-ons. Meta's India rates: marketing ₹0.8631, utility ₹0.115.
| Month | Interakt | Trafficaro |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 marketing messages | ₹2,799 + ₹9,490–₹9,700 = ₹12,289–₹12,499 | ₹499 + ₹8,631 to Meta = ₹9,130 |
| 30,000 utility messages (order updates) | ₹2,799 + ₹4,200–₹4,800 = ₹6,999–₹7,599 | ₹499 + ₹1,000 + ₹3,450 to Meta = ₹4,949 |

Switching to Trafficaro
Your number, your contacts and your templates can come with you. Write to us first and we will plan the move with you.
Bring the number
Meta lets a WhatsApp Business API number move between providers. Your current provider releases it (two-step verification turned off), and you connect it in Trafficaro through Meta's own sign-up.
Bring templates and contacts
Recreate your templates (they are reviewed by Meta again), and import contacts as a CSV with their opt-in source so consent records come with them.
Rebuild automations
Start chatbots from our ready-made flows, connect Shopify or WooCommerce, and point your systems at our API and webhooks.
