Questions for any WhatsApp API provider before a Hyderabad contract
Ask each shortlisted provider, and ask WappBlaster too; the replies tell them apart more quickly than any feature sheet.
1 Is Meta's charge shown separately?
Ask for a sample invoice with Meta's per-message charge and the provider's fee on separate lines. A single bundled rate per message usually hides a margin you cannot see or negotiate.
2 Whose Business Manager is it?
The Meta Business portfolio should belong to your company. If the provider holds it, the future of your number depends on their goodwill on the day you decide to leave.
3 What happens when we leave?
Ask for the exit steps in writing: how the number is released, whether templates and contacts are exported, and how long it all takes. Vague answers here predict a difficult exit.
4 What will next year cost?
Ask what you would pay today and what you would pay at twice the size. Seat and contact tiers make a staffing firm's bill grow with every recruiter it hires, which a flat fee avoids entirely.
