Plans#

Green API provides different rates for interacting with the service features.

  • A free Developer plan

    Allows you to test sending and receiving messages, share geo-position, check if the customer's number is registered with WhatsApp and a host of other features. But it is subject to a number of limitations.

    On the "Developer" plan you can create a maximum of 1 instance. You can interact with only 3 chats (contacts or groups) and receive notifications only from 3 chats.

  • A paid Business plan

    It contains all the features of the free plan without limitations. It is designed for full-scale work with a large number of individual clients and group chats. The paid Business plan is best launched after testing the features of the free Developer plan.
