Competitor pricing reflects publicly listed plans (Wati, AiSensy, Interakt, Green API, Evolution API, Meta) as commonly cited in 2025–2026. Platform fees and Meta message rates change often — confirm current numbers on each provider before you buy. Official Cloud API routes bill Meta per-message fees on top of any BSP subscription.
