CampaigningTool is a WhatsApp Business API provider for businesses that want to message customers at scale. You connect your own number through Meta, send updates and offers to customers who opted in, reply from a shared inbox, add an AI agent, and connect your own software. Most businesses finish the Meta connection in about 10 minutes.
The WhatsApp Business API is the version of WhatsApp that Meta gives to companies that want to message customers at scale. It has no app of its own. You use it through a platform like CampaigningTool, which gives you a dashboard, a team inbox and tools for sending campaigns.
It's different from the free WhatsApp Business app. The app works for a small shop with one phone. The API is for businesses that have a team, many customers, or software that needs to send and receive messages on its own.
A WhatsApp Business API provider is a company that gives you access to the API through a dashboard, a team inbox and tools for campaigns. CampaigningTool is one. You keep your own number and your own customer list, and you pay a plan fee plus Meta's message charges.

There are two parts to the cost:
Meta charges for messages by category (marketing, utility, authentication). We pass these on at Meta's rate with no markup. Meta changes its rates from time to time, so check Meta's current rate card before you plan a budget.
This is a monthly or yearly fee plus 18% GST, and it covers the dashboard, team inbox and tools. See the pricing page for current plans.
Send messages from your software and receive real-time webhooks using official REST endpoints.
Send messages from your own system with our REST API (POST /api/whatsapp/send-message), authenticate securely via Bearer Tokens, and receive delivery status, read receipts, and incoming customer messages through webhooks.

Ask each provider four things: what you pay besides Meta's charges, whether they add a markup to Meta's message fees, how many agents your plan includes, and what happens to your data and number if you leave. Then test the dashboard in a free trial before you commit. See our pricing page for how we answer those questions.
