Pricing

Sendo is free and open source. The only paid piece is Sendo Connect, for teams that would rather not do Meta’s paperwork. Quami never bills you for messages.

Keep the WhatsApp Business app#

Both options support coexistence: the owner keeps answering from the WhatsApp Business app on the phone while the same number works in your inbox. It has real limits (the phone app must be opened at least every 13 days, or the account is deactivated), so read the coexistence limits before you promise it to a customer.

Who pays Meta#

Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly to the owner of the WhatsApp Business account (the building, the clinic, your customer), per delivered message. Sendo moves no money, and Quami bills only for Connect, never for messages. We never copy Meta’s rates here, because they change often: see Meta’s official rate card.

The price of each message depends on:

Meta has announced changes to how service messages are billed. We don’t claim either version: check the rule in force on Meta’s pricing page, and how it works with Sendo in Meta pricing.

What passes through Quami#

Apps with sensitive data#

If your app handles sensitive data, for example clinical conversations in an app like MIDI Med, use your own Meta app so that no third party sits in the message path. It is free and documented just as well: start with Meta setup and Embedded Signup.
