All plans include the official Meta WhatsApp Business API through VGraple CRM as a Meta Tech Provider. Meta bills message charges to your Meta Business account at its published rates; we add nothing. Every plan also gets 1,000 free AI credits each month.
AI credits: 1,000 free every month, then pay only for what you use
Every AI action uses AI credits, and every AI feature is on every plan. Each workspace gets 1,000 free credits a month, enough for about 100 AI replies to customers. They renew on the 1st and do not carry over. A new workspace also gets 1,000 welcome credits for its first 14 days. Credits that expire soonest are spent first, so the free monthly credits go before a pack.
What each action costs

|---|
| Test console turn or prompt debugger question | 10 per turn | 2 |

Connecting your own OpenAI or Anthropic key is available on Starter and above. You pay your provider for the model, and each action then costs one fifth of the credits. Never charged: testing an AI connection, and the knowledge search inside an AI reply, which that reply already covers.

Packs are one-off purchases from Settings, AI in the app. Nothing renews by itself unless you switch on auto top-up. Pack credits last 12 months, so a pack you do not finish this month is still there next month. AI credits are not refundable.

About Rs 12 of credits a month.
The rupee figure is what the month used, at the 10,000 credit pack's rate. Packs are bought whole, so you pay the pack price and the rest of the pack carries over for up to 12 months.
When credits run out
Nothing is sent silently. Your AI Agent sends the fallback message you set, and the account owner gets an alert. Reply suggestions and summaries say that credits are used up. The inbox, flows, broadcasts and everything else that is not AI keep working. How it works in detail: AI credits help article.

Pricing questions
Is the Free plan really free forever?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit and no card requirement: 1 agent, 5,000 contacts and unlimited conversations, with the inbox, flow builder, templates and broadcasts included. You only pay Meta for the messages you send.
What do I pay Meta, and what do I pay VGraple CRM?
Two separate bills. Meta charges per delivered template message at its published rate for the recipient's country (India: Rs 0.8631 marketing, Rs 0.115 utility, Rs 0.115 authentication; replies free for the first 1,000 a month on each number from 1 October 2026, then Rs 0.115), billed to your Meta Business account. VGraple CRM charges a flat monthly platform fee for the plan you choose. We are a Meta Tech Provider, so there is no markup on Meta's rates.
What counts as a conversation on my plan?
A conversation is a customer thread that had activity in the month, across every channel (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, web chat). Nothing on your plan is measured by it - conversations are unlimited on every plan, including Free. It is not Meta's billing unit either: Meta bills per delivered message, and from 1 October 2026 charges replies after the first 1,000 a month on each number.
Is there a limit on how many conversations I can have?
No. Conversations are unlimited on every plan, Free included, and broadcasts are never parked for a platform quota. Your plan caps agent seats, contacts and WhatsApp numbers - the things that change as a team grows. Meta bills you directly for the messages themselves, so there is no conversation charge for us to pass on.
Which features are gated by plan?
Only one: Analytics (Starter and above). Every other feature, including delivery protection, coexistence, sequences, leads, appointments, payments, webhooks, the API, 2FA and the audit log, is on all plans within the usage limits. AI is on every plan and uses AI credits.
Is AI included in my plan?
Every plan, Free included, gets 1,000 free AI credits each month, and every AI feature is on every plan. That covers about 100 AI replies to customers. If you need more, you buy credits as a pack, separate from the plan price.
What is an AI credit?
The unit every AI action is priced in. An AI reply to a customer costs 10 credits, a reply suggestion 2, a conversation summary 3. The full table is in the AI credits section of this page, and it is the same table the app charges from.
Do unused AI credits roll over?
Free monthly credits do not: you get a fresh 1,000 on the 1st. Credits you buy in a pack last 12 months from the day of purchase. Credits that expire soonest are spent first, so free credits go before a pack.
What happens when my AI credits run out?
Nothing is sent silently and nothing is charged without you buying a pack. Your AI Agent sends the fallback message you set, the account owner gets an alert, and suggestions and summaries say that credits are used up. Everything that is not AI keeps working as before.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Outside India, where you pay by card through Stripe, an upgrade applies immediately with a prorated charge and a downgrade applies at the end of the current period. In India plans are prepaid through Cashfree. Buying the same plan again, including switching it between monthly and annual, adds the new period to the end of the current one, so paying a renewal early loses nothing. Buying a different plan starts it immediately, and the unused days of the current period are credited against the new plan's price; the invoice shows the plan at its full price and the credit as its own line. If that unused value is more than the new plan costs, the purchase cannot be made yet and the Billing page says from which date it can. You can cancel from Settings, Billing at any time; your data stays exportable.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes: 20 percent off. Starter is Rs 1,199 a month billed annually (instead of Rs 1,499), Growth Rs 2,799 (instead of Rs 3,499) and Scale Rs 6,399 (instead of Rs 7,999). The year is paid at once: Rs 14,388, Rs 33,588 and Rs 76,788, GST included. Outside India the annual prices are $15, $39 and $95 a month, paid as $180, $468 and $1,140 a year.
How do I pay, and do prices include GST?
A business in India pays in Indian rupees by UPI, netbanking or card through Cashfree. Plan and AI credit pack prices include 18% GST, so the price you see is the price you pay. Indian plans are prepaid: you get a renewal notice and pay for each period when it is due, and nothing is debited automatically. A customer outside India pays in US dollars by card through Stripe, with no GST, and the plan renews automatically.
Do I get a GST invoice, and where do I enter my GSTIN?
Every payment produces a GST tax invoice as a PDF. It is emailed to your invoice email addresses, or to the workspace owner if you have not set any, and it is always available under Settings, Billing, in the Invoices list. Enter your GSTIN in the Billing details card on the same page and it is printed on future invoices, so a registered business can claim input tax credit. Customers outside India get an export invoice with no tax.
Are there setup fees or per-message platform charges?
No setup fee, no per-message platform charge, no per-agent add-on inside your plan's seat count. The only per-message cost is Meta's, billed by Meta.
Do I need a paid plan to connect my WhatsApp number?
No. The Free plan connects a WhatsApp Business number through Meta Embedded Signup, including coexistence mode with the WhatsApp Business app.
Can I connect more than one WhatsApp number?
Yes, in one workspace with one shared inbox. Free includes 1 number, Starter 2, Growth 5 and Scale 15, with no extra charge per number. Teams that need more than 15 are set up on a custom arrangement - talk to us. Every number can use coexistence mode, and your contact list is shared across numbers. If a plan change ever lowers your number allowance, numbers you already connected keep working - the limit only applies to connecting new ones.
Can I run more than one organization on one account?
Yes. Each organization is a separate workspace with its own plan and billing, and one login can belong to many of them - including as an invited team member or outside consultant. Your first organization is free forever; additional organizations you create are free to explore but need a paid plan to connect a WhatsApp number. Organizations that already have WhatsApp connected always keep working.
Can I try the platform before connecting my own number?
Yes. Every new workspace can message a sandbox WhatsApp number with a JOIN code and load a sample workspace to explore the inbox, flows and broadcasts before connecting a number.
What is the refund policy?
An annual plan gets a full refund if you ask within 14 days of the first annual payment. Otherwise there are no refunds for part of a period, monthly or annual. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and simply do not renew. Every refund comes with a credit note against the invoice, emailed like an invoice. AI credits are not refundable. Write to us in Support or email
[email protected].
Do prices change for customers outside India?
Yes. A business in India pays in Indian rupees with GST included. A customer outside India pays in US dollars with no GST: Starter $19, Growth $49 and Scale $119 a month, or $15, $39 and $95 a month billed annually. AI credit packs are $4.99, $19.99 and $69. The currency follows the billing details you save and is fixed after your first payment; changing country afterwards goes through Support. Meta message rates depend on the recipient's country, see the per-country rate pages.
What does the Scale plan include beyond limits?
Unlimited agents, contacts, conversations and chat widgets, a dedicated account manager, custom integrations and SLA-backed support. Rs 7,999 a month, or Rs 6,399 billed annually. Contact sales for volume or multi-workspace agreements.
Is there a partner or agency programme?
Yes. Agencies earn 20 percent recurring commission on every workspace they bring, with shared onboarding for each client. See the agency partner page.
