Why American businesses choose LandinChat
Pricing questions from American buyers
Does Meta charge me directly or does LandinChat bill it?
LandinChat invoices the Meta conversation fees together with your plan, in USD. You get one consolidated invoice — no separate Meta billing relationship needed.
Why is marketing more expensive than utility in the United States?
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 the United States?
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 the United States.
Is LandinChat TCPA-compliant?
We enforce documented opt-in, opt-out keyword handling and quiet-hour controls so US broadcasts stay within TCPA guidance.
Can I sign a HIPAA BAA?
Yes — healthcare customers on eligible plans can sign a BAA for protected health information handled through WhatsApp.
