Are there different prices for different countries?
Yes. WhatsApp sets rates by country. For example, marketing conversations in India cost about $0.0099, while in North America they cost about $0.025. Utility and authentication categories have separate, generally lower rates.
Does SuperWaba add additional charges on top of WhatsApp fees?
