Why we'll never charge per message

Most WhatsApp API providers charge per conversation or per message. At $0.005–$0.08 per message, a community of 10,000 people receiving one daily update costs $1,500–$24,000 a month. That's not an automation bill; that's a salary.

The perverse result: the better your content performs, the more you pay. Growth becomes a cost center. Operators start rationing messages to their own audience.

TeleAuto charges for capacity instead — how many sessions and automations you run — because that's what actually maps to our infrastructure cost. Relaying your ten-thousandth message costs us about the same as your tenth.

Flat pricing changes behavior. Our users run daily digests, instant auto replies, and full channel mirrors without watching a meter. That's the point of automation: set it up once and let it run.
