Syncron.
WhatsApp fees

WhatsApp fees, explained plainly.

Your Syncron subscription does not include Meta's WhatsApp message fees — nobody's does. Meta bills those separately, to you, on your own card. Here is exactly what is free, what is charged, and roughly what it comes to for a Malaysian property agency.

The short answer

You pay Meta directly. We never touch it.

Syncron's monthly fee covers the platform: the AI that qualifies your leads, agent routing, follow-ups, the dashboard and support. Meta charges separately for the messages themselves.

That bill goes straight from Meta to you, on the card attached to your own WhatsApp Business account. We don't resell it, mark it up, or take a cut. It's the same reason your WhatsApp number and Meta Business account are registered in your name, not ours — you own them, and if you ever leave Syncron, you keep them.

The part most agencies don't expect: for how Syncron actually works, the large majority of messages cost nothing at all. The entire qualification conversation — every question the AI asks and every answer it gives — is free. Here's why.

How Meta bills

Free when they message you. Charged when you message them.

Since 1 July 2025 Meta charges per message delivered, not per conversation. What decides the price is who started it and how recently.

RM 0.00

Inside the 24-hour window

The moment a lead messages you, a 24-hour customer service window opens. Everything Syncron replies inside it is free.

  • All 12 qualification questions and answers
  • Property details, area and budget follow-ups
  • Handover messages when an agent takes over
  • Anything your agents type back themselves
RM 0.00

72 hours from an ad click

If the lead arrived by clicking a Click-to-WhatsApp ad, Meta opens a 72-hour free entry point window instead — and every message type is free inside it.

  • Covers the qualification conversation entirely
  • Usually covers the hot-lead alert and first follow-up too
  • Applies to Facebook and Instagram lead ads
What you're billed for

The only three things that cost money.

Meta charges by category, and Utility messages are roughly six times cheaper than Marketing ones. We deliberately built Syncron so that the overwhelming majority of what it sends falls into the free window or the cheap category.

What it isWhen it happensCategory
The qualification conversation
Every question the AI asks, every reply it gives, and anything your agents type
While the lead is talking to you Free
Alerts and reminders
Telling your agent a hot lead came in, reminding a buyer about a viewing, nudging someone who's gone quiet
After the free window has closed Utility
Re-engagement and reporting
Bringing an older lead back into conversation, and your own performance summaries
Scheduled, outside any window Marketing

Some of these go to you and your agents rather than to leads — an alert about a hot lead, or your own weekly summary. They still appear on your bill, because Meta charges per delivered message regardless of who receives it. We'll walk you through the full list of what gets sent, and when, during onboarding.

What it actually costs you per month.

Put in your own numbers. This models the way Syncron really sends — not a generic message counter.

Meta's rates (Malaysia) — edit if yours differ

Indicative Malaysian rates as at August 2026. Meta sets these, changes them, and publishes the live card at whatsappbusiness.com. Malaysia has been billed in ringgit since April 2026. Always treat Meta's card as the truth, not this page.

Free messages (qualification + in-window)
Utility messages charged
Marketing messages charged
Share of all messages that are free
Estimated Meta bill

An estimate, not a quote. Real usage moves with how many leads reply, how many book, and how quickly your agents step in — every time an agent replies inside the 24-hour window, that message is free.

Why the number is usually small: the expensive category is Marketing, and Syncron barely uses it. The work that wins you the deal — replying in seconds, asking the right questions, qualifying in the lead's own language — all happens inside the free window.

Straight answers

The things worth knowing before you sign.

You need a payment method on your WhatsApp account before anything sends

Meta requires a card attached to your WhatsApp Business account before it will deliver messages. We walk you through it during onboarding — it takes a few minutes, and it's the last step before going live.

There is no free message allowance

Meta used to give 1,000 free conversations a month. That ended with the move to per-message pricing. What replaced it is better for you: the free windows above have no cap at all.

Rates change, and they're not ours to control

Meta has changed this model twice in two years. We'll tell you when it moves, but the live rate card at whatsappbusiness.com is always the authority — including this page.

We don't mark it up

Some platforms resell WhatsApp credit and take a margin. We don't. Meta bills you, you pay Meta, and you can see every message in your own Meta account.
