Meta has announced new pricing for WhatsApp Business messages that will charge businesses in Pakistan 11 times more than businesses in India. As of October 1, 2026, Pakistani businesses will pay $0.015 for each utility, authentication or service message, while Indian businesses will pay $0.0014. This rate increase is also higher than the rates for Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Iraq.
For instance, a Pakistani business sending 300,000 messages per month would face a $4,500 monthly bill, compared to $420 per month in India and $600 in Sri Lanka. The new pricing also means free in-window service messages will end, with Meta providing 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month.
