Meta charges for the WhatsApp Business Platform per message delivered, so a WhatsApp set-up in Egypt has two costs: Meta’s rate for each marketing, utility or authentication message, and the provider’s fee for the platform, inbox and chatbots. Meta’s Egypt rates from 1 October 2026 are $0.0644 per marketing message and $0.0036 per utility, authentication or service message; each business number gets 1,000 free service messages a month, then pays per message. LetsBot published a base plan from $6.35 a month, with each add-on priced separately.

What Meta charges in Egypt from 1 October 2026
| Message type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Marketing | $0.0644 |
| Utility | $0.0036 |
| Authentication | $0.0036 |
| Authentication, international | $0.0650 |
| Service, after the first 1,000 free each month | $0.0036 |
Meta prices each message by the recipient’s country code. Egypt’s marketing rate was lowered on 1 January 2026, and Meta listed no Egypt change on 1 October 2026. Meta’s WhatsApp pricing page confirms the rate card effective 1 October 2026 and the service message tier; Meta publishes the per-country rates as a downloadable file, so these figures come from providers that reproduce the card (WA Smart Sender, ChatMi and SleekFlow), checked on 4 November 2026. Check the card before you budget.
What a month costs: a worked example
| Messages | Rate | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 marketing | $0.0644 each | $644.00 |
| 10,000 utility (order and delivery updates) | $0.0036 each | $36.00 |
| 3,000 service replies | The first 1,000 free, then $0.0036 each | $7.20 |
| Total to Meta | $687.20, about EGP 38,000 |
Meta bills Egyptian numbers in US dollars; the pound figure uses the Central Bank of Egypt’s rate of about EGP 55.3 on 3 November 2026. The provider’s platform fee comes on top. Utility and authentication rates fall at higher monthly volumes; marketing and service rates do not.
