Comment Comment by aamatte Twilio priced WhatsApp messages like SMS: $0.005 per message.That made sense for SMS where you send one message and you're done.But WhatsApp conversations don't work that way. People send bursts of short messages instead of one long one.A typical conversation can easily hit 30-50 messages. Building AI agents with that pricing gets expensive fast.At Twilio's rates, 100k messages would cost you $500.Our Pro plan is $25/month and includes 100k messages. parent aamatte 10 months ago
