Work it out before you subscribe
The short answer
The tools here are built on measurement from our own platform, not on a copied table. Where a number appears, the sample it was measured across and the date it was taken appear beside it.
Returns cost calculator
"The order came back" — but back at what cost? Outbound delivery, usually the return leg, and stock that sat outside the warehouse for a week selling to nobody.
Next up: an OTP volume calculator and a monthly broadcast estimator. If there is a tool that would actually help you, send it from the contact page.
Why we build tools instead of writing an article
Because the question in front of a merchant is not "what do platforms cost" — it is "what will I pay". The difference is everything: a copied rate card gives you an average for a market you are not in; a calculator that asks for your figures gives you yours.
That is why every figure in these tools carries the sample it was measured on and the date. And where we do not have enough measurement we say so rather than guess: the marketing row in the cost calculator is labelled an estimate, because we have exactly one marketing conversation in the whole log, and one is not a measurement.
And which one to use when
- Before you subscribe anywhere — the WhatsApp cost calculator, so you know Meta's half of the bill before you add a subscription to it.
- Before you decide about confirming orders — the returns-loss calculator, because the decision changes completely once you see the annual figure written down.
- And once you know your number — what every platform in this market charges, and who publishes nothing.
