The official API has no access fee
Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API does not charge to sign up or to receive messages. You pay Meta only for template messages you send, and service replies in the 24-hour window are free.
Free software to run it
AnjokWA Bot gives you the chatbot builder, team inbox, CRM, catalog, workflows and your own WhatsApp number connection — free, with unlimited chatbots and team seats.
Avoid unofficial "free WhatsApp API" tools
Tools that automate WhatsApp Web or the phone app break WhatsApp's terms. Numbers used with them are often banned, and you lose your customer chats with it. Always use the official Business API.
When you might pay
Only for Meta's template message charges, and — if you want it — for our experts to set things up or build your chatbot for you.
AnjokWA Bot is free forever — your own WhatsApp number, unlimited chatbots and seats. Want it done for you? Our experts can help (paid).
Frequently asked questions
Is there a completely free WhatsApp API?
The official Cloud API plus AnjokWA Bot costs nothing to start and nothing for service replies. Template messages are charged by Meta.
Will my number get banned?
Not for using the official API. Bans come from unofficial tools, spam and ignoring opt-in rules.
