Why French businesses choose LandinChat
Pricing questions from French buyers
Does Meta charge me directly or does LandinChat bill it?
LandinChat invoices the Meta conversation fees together with your plan, in EUR. You get one consolidated invoice — no separate Meta billing relationship needed.
Why is marketing more expensive than utility in France?
Meta tiers conversations by intent. Marketing (promotions, offers) commands the highest rate because it's outbound revenue-driving. Utility messages (order updates, receipts) are cheaper because they're customer-initiated workflows. Authentication (OTP, 2FA) sits in between.
Are service-window messages really free in France?
Yes. Once a customer messages you, you have a rolling 24-hour service window to reply with unlimited free-form messages at no per-message cost. This is identical across every market including France.
Are you CNIL-compliant?
Yes — DSAR, ROPA, documented opt-in and EU data residency.
Do you support French chatbots?
Yes — builder, inbox, analytics and templates in French.
