Your WhatsApp AI agent costs ₹2 a conversation, and Meta bills the rest to your own account.

Dvaarik charges ₹2 per customer conversation and nothing else on WhatsApp — no subscription, no per-seat fee, no message bundle to buy in advance. Meta's own conversation charges are billed by Meta to your own WhatsApp Business account at Meta's rates, with zero markup from us. Custom setup is ₹40,000 and free for our 10 founding clients, in return for the Care Plan for the first three months at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month and an honest testimonial plus a short case study after go-live. The minimum first credit load is ₹10,000, billed ₹11,800 with 18% GST. For market context as published on 21 Jul 2026, ConnectAI lists a WhatsApp AI product at ₹1,999/mo, Trikon at ₹1,500 to ₹5,000/mo, MyOperator at ₹10,000/month with 2,000 chats included, and Botsense at ₹24,999 to ₹49,999/year.

One 24-hour conversation window with one customer, however many messages that takes. Inside it the agent reads text and voice notes, replies across 22 scheduled Indian languages plus English, answers from your own prices and policies, books slots, sends payment links with no commission, escalates to you when your rules say so, and writes the outcome to your lead sheet. It runs on your own WhatsApp Business number and coexists with the WhatsApp app on your phone. What it does not include is Meta's own conversation charge, which Meta bills to your account, and GST, which is applied when you load credits.

At low and middling volume, usually — there is no fixed monthly floor to pay in a quiet month, and credits never expire. At very high volume a bundled plan can win on cost per conversation, and we will say so rather than sell you the wrong shape. The comparison that matters is not the headline but headline plus setup plus commitment plus who pays Meta. Botsense publishes WhatsApp plans at ₹24,999/year and ₹49,999/year with a required one-time setup of ₹15,000 or ₹25,000; MyOperator publishes ₹10,000/month for SUV AI - Chat with 2,000 chats included, extra usage at ₹8 per chat, a ₹20,000 one-time onboarding fee and annual billing; ConnectAI publishes ₹1,999/mo with a three-month minimum billed upfront at ₹5,997. Put your own monthly volume against those shapes and against ₹2 a conversation with no floor.

There are four charges in total and all four are on this page. ₹2 per conversation for the AI handling. The Care Plan at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month, required for the first three months and optional from month four. 18% GST when you load credits, so a ₹10,000 load is billed ₹11,800. And Meta's own conversation charges, which never pass through us at all. The ₹2,000 per 30 days phone number recharge applies only if we supply a phone number for voice — WhatsApp on your own number does not need it. There is no commission on payments collected in chat, no charge for the automation builder and no per-seat fee for extra people reading the inbox.

Because they are not our rates to publish. Meta sets the categories and prices, revises them when it chooses, and bills them to the account that owns your number — which is yours. Any figure we printed would be a snapshot of someone else's price list, and a stale snapshot is worse than none when you are budgeting. Even vendors who do print a rate card hedge it: MyOperator footnotes its WhatsApp message rates as subject to change as per Meta's policies. Check Meta's current published India rates, then verify them against your own monthly Meta invoice.

Look at whose name is on the Meta bill. Your WhatsApp Business Account is the one connected and the one Meta invoices, so message charges appear on your own Meta invoice at Meta's rates and you can reconcile them yourself without asking us for a breakdown. Dvaarik never bills you for a message, which is why there is no Dvaarik per-message rate card anywhere on this site. If a vendor invoices you for messages instead, ask in writing whether their per-message price is exactly Meta's rate — the gap, if there is one, is the markup, and it repeats on every message.

The Dvaarik balance and the Meta balance are independent, and each fails in its own way. If your Dvaarik credits reach zero, everything pauses gracefully — no overdraft and no surprise invoice — and a top-up from ₹500 resumes it. Credits never expire, so an unused balance simply carries forward to the next month, and we flag a low balance before it becomes a problem. On the Meta side, message charges sit on your own Meta account, so keep a working payment method on it and read Meta's own billing notices — those are Meta's rules to state, not ours to restate.

You keep your own WhatsApp Business number, and it lowers your cost because there is no ₹2,000 per 30 days number recharge to pay — that charge exists only when we supply a phone number for voice calling. Your number is connected through official Meta flows and coexists with the WhatsApp app on your phone, so you can take over any chat manually while the agent handles everyone else. One number can sit with only one provider at a time, so moving it is a real migration rather than a parallel setup, and we handle that during the build. If you would rather not touch your main number, a second number works equally well.
