Do volume discounts on WhatsApp message prices help a small restaurant?

No. Meta gives volume discounts only on utility and authentication messages, and the first tier runs to 25 million messages a month in India. A small restaurant pays the list rate.

• There are no volume tiers for marketing messages or service messages.
• Messages are counted per business portfolio and the tiers reset every month.
• In India, the utility list rate holds for the first 25,000,000 messages a month. The next tier is about 6% lower.
• Work out your cost from the list rate and the number of messages you really send.
