HubSpot WhatsApp costs
HubSpot WhatsApp integration pricing and Meta's fees, in one estimate.
HubSpot WhatsApp integration pricing has three parts: your HubSpot plan, the Octopods channel for each number, and Meta's per-message fees, which Meta bills to you directly.
- From $49/mo per channel
- No markup on Meta's fees
- 50,000 messages per channel, pooled
the practical answer
How much does the HubSpot WhatsApp integration cost?
With Octopods, each WhatsApp number is one channel on HubSpot: $49/mo for your first channel and $39/mo for each extra one, billed monthly. Every paid channel adds 50,000 messages a month to one pool shared across your account. You also need a HubSpot Professional or Enterprise GTM seat, and Meta bills its WhatsApp message fees to you directly. Octopods adds nothing on top of them.
Your monthly estimate
The HubSpot workspace
Include the HubSpot subscription needed for your inbox, workflows and support tools. If you plan to use Breeze Customer Agent, budget for its applicable HubSpot Credits separately.
Octopods connections and usage
Your subscriptions cover connected channels, accounts or WhatsApp numbers. Included messaging volume is pooled across the account. Confirm your subscribed quantities, allowance and any additional usage charges in your account's billing terms.
Meta's message fees
Meta charges per delivered message, by message category and your customer's country, and bills you directly. Octopods adds nothing on top.
meta's part of the bill
What Meta charges for WhatsApp messages in HubSpot
Meta charges per delivered message, at a rate set by the message category and your customer's country. Messages your customers send you are free. Meta bills you directly, whether you use HubSpot's own WhatsApp channel or Octopods.
Templates are charged per message
Marketing, utility and authentication templates each have a rate per recipient country. Utility and authentication rates drop as your monthly volume grows; marketing rates don't.
Service replies after the first 1,000
Since October 1, 2026, free-form replies inside the 24-hour window are charged after the first 1,000 per business number each month, and utility templates sent inside the window are charged too. Unused free messages don't roll over.
Workflow sends count everywhere
A WhatsApp template sent from a HubSpot workflow is a Meta charge and a message in your Octopods pool. Count enrolled contacts and message steps alongside agent replies.

What each WhatsApp setup costs in HubSpot
Meta's per-message fees apply to both. The difference is the plan you need and how volume is counted.
