What it costs
No quote-on-request. Here are the numbers.
Two components to every engagement: a once-off setup fee for building the system, and a monthly fee for running, hosting and improving it. The monthly includes your platform licence, so there's no separate software bill.

Optional add-on — WhatsApp Business
No setup fee. R850/month, plus Meta's per-conversation fees billed at cost with no markup.
WhatsApp needs a verified Meta Business account, which typically takes one to three weeks to approve. Most businesses start with website chat and add WhatsApp once they can see what it's earning them.
What's not included
Being straight about this up front saves arguments later.
WhatsApp Business API message fees
Only applicable if you add the WhatsApp integration. Meta charges per conversation; billed at cost with no markup.
Google Ads or Meta Ads spend
If you want paid advertising, that budget is separate and paid directly to the platform.
Domain and website hosting
If you don't already have them.
A new website
These packages work with the site you have. If you need one built, that's quoted separately.
