A WhatsApp bot for a business in Israel costs from ₪9,500 to build with us, plus ₪450/month care. VAT included, fixed price per scope, built only on Meta's official Cloud API.
That is the number. Now the parts around it: what moves the price, what is included, and what to ask any vendor before you sign.
What determines the price of a WhatsApp bot?
Integrations. A bot that only answers FAQs is the baseline. A bot that connects to your CRM, sheets, or order system requires real integration work, and that is what moves the price. With us, a CRM connection is part of the base package.
Number of conversation flows. Every flow (lead intake, meeting booking, order status, pricing questions) is designed, built, and tested separately. A business that needs three core flows pays less than one that needs ten. For what those flows absorb in practice, see how a WhatsApp bot replaces the support queue.
Hebrew and English. A bot that actually works well in Hebrew is not the market default. For us it is part of the base: automatic language detection, replies in the customer's language.
Human handoff. The rule for "when does the bot stop and hand over to a person" is the difference between a bot that helps and a bot that infuriates. Designing the handoff path is part of the work, not an add-on.
Why a "cheap" bot costs more
Some vendors build on unofficial libraries that impersonate the WhatsApp app. It is cheaper to set up, and the business number typically gets banned within weeks. A business built on one channel cannot afford that gamble.
We build only on Meta's official Cloud API: the number is never at risk, and service replies to a customer who messaged you (free-form answers within the 24-hour window) are not charged by Meta. For most small businesses that means an ongoing API cost close to ₪0.
One more pricing trap: many vendors resell WhatsApp access through a BSP and add a markup on every message. We broke down the real BSP fee stack versus direct Cloud API separately.
