# AI Agent Pricing and Meta Billing

Using the WhatsApp AI Agent has two costs: your WANotifier plan and Meta's usage charges.

### Your WANotifier plan

The AI Agent is included in the **Advanced** and **Premium** plans, with no extra add-on fee from WANotifier.

» [__See our plans on the Pricing page__](https://wanotifier.com/pricing/)

### Meta's usage charges

Meta charges for the agent based on **tokens**, which is the amount of text the agent reads and writes in a conversation.

* At the time of writing, Meta's rate is **$2.00 per 1 million tokens**, the same in every country.
* Meta's own examples: a simple inquiry of a few messages uses about 80,000 tokens (around $0.16 to $0.20). A longer troubleshooting chat uses about 250,000 tokens (around $0.40 to $0.50).
* Your actual cost depends on how long your conversations are and how much information the agent works with.

These charges are separate from your regular WhatsApp messaging charges.

### How Meta bills you

Meta bills the AI Agent directly, not through WANotifier. Charges go to the **Meta Business Agent Billable Account** in Meta's Billing Hub.

To add a payment method:

* Open the [AI Agent page](https://app.wanotifier.com/ai-agent/) and click the **Billing Hub** link.
* Open the **Meta Business Agent Billable Account** and click **Add payment method**.

### What happens without a payment method?

The agent only replies to numbers on your **Agent Allowlist**. This is useful for testing. Your customers won't get replies from the agent until you add a payment method.

### How to keep costs under control

* Keep your Business Info, FAQs and files focused and up to date, so the agent finds answers quickly.
* Use chatbots for structured journeys, like lead qualification or bookings, and the agent for open-ended questions.
* Pause the agent from **Setup → AI Agent** whenever you don't need it.
