The short answer
WhatsApp marketing in Algeria means messages on marketing templates Meta approves, sent to customers who agreed to receive them, with a button to stop them. Meta charges $0.0225 for a marketing message to a number in Algeria, so a campaign to a thousand customers is about 2,993 DZD. Notifications — order confirmation and shipping — cost only $0.0040 each, so one marketing message is worth about 6 notifications.
What does a WhatsApp campaign in Algeria cost?
Meta does not sell a «campaign» at a flat price: it bills every message you start, by category and recipient country. Here is what marketing messages to numbers in Algeria cost, from Meta's official rate card effective 1 October 2026:
| Recipients | In USD | Roughly in Algeria's currency |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $22.50 | 2,993 DZD |
| 5,000 | $112.50 | 14,963 DZD |
| 10,000 | $225.00 | 29,925 DZD |
These are Meta's fees alone, on your own Meta account with no markup from us; the platform subscription is separate, on the pricing page. Work out your exact figure in the campaign cost calculator.
Marketing or notifications: the price difference in Algeria
| Message type | Price per message | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing | $0.0225 | A seasonal offer, a new product, a discount |
| Utility (notification) | $0.0040 | Order confirmation, shipped, an appointment reminder |
| Authentication | $0.0040 | A login code or number confirmation |
| Your reply to whoever wrote | Free for the first 1,000 per number a month | Answering a question after the campaign |

WhatsApp campaign seasons in Algeria
Besides Ramadan and the two Eids, which every Arab country shares, these are Algeria's days worth a campaign:
And a sample marketing template for the first of these seasons, with an order button and a stop button — the second is not decoration: it protects your number's rating.

Order nowStop offersConsent and the law in Algeria
Law No. 18-07 on protecting natural persons in the processing of personal data requires prior consent. Above the law sits WhatsApp Business policy: the customer gave you their number and agreed, every campaign carries a way to stop, and whoever asked to stop receives nothing after. Anyone who stopped offers through WhatsApp's own option is skipped by ArabyBot in every later campaign automatically.
How your customers in Algeria pay, and how a campaign ends in an order
Cash on delivery dominates, with Algérie Poste's Edahabia card and CIB cards for online payment. Whoever answers the campaign gets the AI agent at once, from your products and prices; it records the order inside the chat and confirms it before shipping if it is cash on delivery — so campaign replies do not die in an unread inbox.
Your customers' dialect in Algeria
Your customers in Algeria mostly write in Algerian Darija, and French. The marketing template itself is written in clear language Meta approves; replies to whoever writes after the campaign come, in automatic mode, in the customer's own dialect. Choosing the reply dialect.
Frequently asked questions
What does a WhatsApp marketing message cost in Algeria?
Meta charges $0.0225 — about 3 DZD — for a marketing message to a number in Algeria, from Meta's official rate card effective 1 October 2026. The price follows the recipient's country code, not where your business is.
Can I send a campaign to customers who did not agree?
No. WhatsApp Business policy requires that the customer gave you their number and agreed to your messages, and that you stop when asked. Sending to bought lists lowers your number's rating and then restricts it.
Are replies to customers answering the campaign paid?
When the customer replies a 24-hour window opens; your replies inside it are free for the first 1,000 per number each month, then charged at Algeria's utility rate ($0.0040).
In which currency do I pay Meta?
You pay Meta's fees straight on your own business account in the currency it is set to — US dollars for most accounts in the region — with no markup from us. Amounts in Algeria's currency here are approximate, for understanding.
