What Meta charges per message, in NPR

These are Meta's own charges for messages delivered to a Nepali number. On a direct-billing account they are what Meta bills you — not what we bill you. Meta revises them on 1 October 2026, so both regimes are shown rather than one quietly replacing the other on the day.

Until 1 Oct 2026
Message typeCost per message
Marketing NPR 7.00
Utility NPR 0.60
Authentication NPR 3.10
Authentication — international Set by Meta per market. Ask us for the current figure before you launch.
Service (customer-initiated) Free Free — a conversation your customer starts costs nothing until Meta's cutover.
From 1 October 2026
Message typeCost per message
Marketing NPR 7.00
Utility NPR 0.60
Authentication NPR 3.10
Authentication — international Set by Meta per market. Ask us for the current figure before you launch.
Service (customer-initiated) NPR 0.60 First 1,000 per phone number per calendar month are free. Beyond that, priced as a utility message.
A dash means we will not guess. Where Meta has not published a figure for this market, this page shows a dash and asks you to contact us rather than printing a zero or an estimate. A zero on a pricing page is how a business plans a campaign it cannot afford.
What changes on 1 October 2026. Service conversations — the ones your customer starts — become billable, with the first 1,000 per phone number per calendar month free and the rest priced as a utility message. A business with three numbers gets three allowances. Separately, international authentication becomes a category of its own rather than following the domestic rate. A utility template sent inside an open customer service window stays free — Meta's own reference confirms this, against several third-party summaries that say otherwise.

What we charge: the platform fee

One monthly fee for the software — shared inbox, campaigns, automation, templates and the developer API. Billed in NPR. Nothing per message.

Who Meta bills — and why it decides your price

Direct billing — the default

Your WhatsApp Business Account carries your own payment method. Meta charges you its published rate, straight from Meta's invoice to yours. We earn nothing on your traffic, so there is no markup to compare and nothing to negotiate down. Every new Dibi Tech account works this way unless you ask otherwise.

You pay: Meta's rate above, plus the monthly platform fee.

Prepaid wallet — if you would rather not deal with Meta billing

We carry the Meta billing and you top up a prepaid wallet with us. That service has a margin on it, so the per-message rate is higher than Meta's. Shown here on the Premium tier, which has our lowest per-message rate:

Marketing NPR 10.00
Utility NPR 2.00
Authentication NPR 4.00
Service (customer-initiated) Free

Rates differ per tier; see each plan.

What 5,000 marketing messages a month actually costs

5,000 marketing messages at NPR 7.00 each, billed by Meta NPR 35,000.00
Basic platform fee, billed by Dibi Tech NPR 999.00
Total on direct billing NPR 35,999.00
Same volume on our prepaid wallet instead (Basic rate) NPR 60,000.01

Computed from the same rate card the invoice is produced from, as at 15 September 2026. Meta charges on delivery, so an undelivered message is not billed.

FAQ

WhatsApp API pricing questions, answered in NPR

How much does WhatsApp Business API cost in Nepal?

In Nepal a WhatsApp marketing message costs NPR 7, a utility message NPR 0.6 and an authentication message NPR 3.1, charged by Meta per message delivered. On top of that you pay a monthly platform fee to whoever provides your access. With Dibi Tech Private Limited the per-message charge goes straight from Meta to you at Meta's own rate — we add no markup to it.

What is the cheapest WhatsApp Business API in Nepal?

The cheapest arrangement is one where you bill Meta directly, because nobody is adding a margin to your message traffic. That is the default on every Dibi Tech account: your WhatsApp Business Account carries your own payment method, Meta charges you its published rate, and you pay us only the monthly platform fee. A provider who bills you per message is reselling Meta's traffic at a markup, so compare the per-message rate against Meta's published rate before you sign anything.

Is WhatsApp Business API free in Nepal?

The API itself has no licence fee, but Meta charges per message delivered, so sending is never free. Our Forever Free tier has no monthly platform fee, so your only cost is Meta's per-message charge. Customer-initiated service conversations are free today; from 1 October 2026 Meta charges for them beyond the first 1,000 per phone number per calendar month.

How much is a WhatsApp marketing message in Nepal?

A marketing template message to a Nepali number costs NPR 7 as at 15 September 2026. 5,000 of them in a month therefore costs about NPR 35,000 billed by Meta, plus your monthly platform fee.

Do I pay in Nepali rupees?

Yes. Dibi Tech Private Limited invoices in Nepali rupees and Meta bills Nepali accounts in Nepali rupees, so there is no currency conversion and no card foreign-exchange fee on either side. Most international providers quote in US dollars, euros or Indian rupees, which means the price you are quoted is not the price you pay.

What changes on 1 October 2026?

Two things. Service conversations — the ones your customer starts — become billable, with the first 1,000 per phone number per calendar month free and the rest priced as a utility message. And international authentication becomes a category of its own, priced separately from the domestic authentication rate. A utility template sent inside an open service window stays free, which Meta's own reference confirms against several summaries claiming otherwise.
