FAQ

Do I have to change numbers to move to the API?
No. You migrate the same number. You need the linked phone, Meta Business Suite, and a card for Meta message costs.
Does ManyContacts work with both?
Yes. Connect WhatsApp Business or the official API. Inbox, AI and your team work the same way.
Can I start with Business and migrate later?
Yes. Many customers start on Business (no Meta fees) and move to the API when they need campaigns or more agents.
Who pays for API messages?
Meta bills conversations at its own rates. ManyContacts is separate: €49/month for the inbox, 7-day trial with no card.
