WhatsApp can be your highest ROI channel or your most confusing bill. Bitespeed shows plan prices and a few usage knobs across its pricing pages. So we decided to dig deeper and provide you with a clear, source-backed breakdown so you can budget with confidence and see where Heltar’s pricing model may fit better for deep automation.
Summary in one glance
Bitespeed lists three main plans: WhatsApp Stack at $250 per month, Omnichannel Starter at $350 per month, and Omnichannel Full Stack at $500 per month. Each plan shows 1,000 free conversations per month or per brand on the page.
Bitespeed also offers AI add-ons at $100 per month each. The AI Chatbot add-on includes 1,000 AI conversations, then $0.05 per extra AI conversation. The AI Marketing add-on lists AI content nodes as inclusions.
WhatsApp’s own conversation charges still apply by category and country. Plan your forecast with these rates plus your provider costs.
Heltar prices by subscription per WhatsApp number with a small per automated session fee after free credits, which helps keep platform costs steady as you add steps inside a flow. See the quick compare near the end.

How to estimate your Bitespeed bill in 3 steps
Pick a plan based on your channel mix
If you want only WhatsApp plus a helpdesk, start with WhatsApp Stack.
If you want Email and SMS with WhatsApp, consider Omnichannel Starter.
If you need a larger email allowance and account management, check Omnichannel Full Stack.
Decide on AI add-ons
Add AI Chatbot if you need AI flows at scale. The first 1,000 AI conversations are included, then $0.05 per extra AI conversation.
Add AI Marketing if you want AI nodes for content.
Add WhatsApp usage
Split your month by conversation category and country. Apply Meta’s rates for each market on top of your plan. This gives finance a clean plan line and a clean usage line.
Pros, cautions, and who Bitespeed suits
Where Bitespeed fits?
E-commerce brands that want WhatsApp plus an omnichannel stack in one place.
Teams that value email allowances bundled with WhatsApp features on the higher tiers.
What to watch?
Factor AI add-ons if you plan to push a lot of automated AI chats or content. The per-conversation meter for AI beyond the included 1,000 is $0.05.
Keep an eye on how your 1K free conversations per month or per brand interacts with your campaign cadence. High frequency sequences can open many new conversation windows.
Why is Heltar a better alternative?
Heltar focuses on predictable platform spend for WhatsApp-first teams. The subscription covers the stack, and the platform meter is per automated session after free credits. A session is one execution of a flow with one customer in a 48-hour session window, so adding steps inside that flow does not change the platform fee for that session.
Category | Heltar | Bitespeed |
|---|---|---|
Pricing unit | Automated session on the platform side | Conversations per month shown as free credits, then Meta conversation charges apply by category and country |
Plan fees | Starter $50 per number per month, Growth $80, Pro $150 | WhatsApp Stack $250 per month, Omnichannel Starter $350, Omnichannel Full Stack $500 |
Platform meter | After free credits: $0.03 per session on Starter, $0.02 on Growth, $0.001 on Pro | AI Chatbot add-on: 1,000 AI conversations included, then $0.05 per extra AI conversation. Plans also show 1K free conversations per month or per brand on page |
Team and build | Unlimited team members and roles, native WhatsApp flows, hybrid AI builder, no cap on number of journeys | Omnichannel inbox, WhatsApp chatbots, email allowances, Instagram automations |
Budget control for deep flows | Extra steps stay within the same session fee | New conversation windows count toward usage, and AI chat beyond the included 1,000 is metered at $0.05 |
Heltar’s model keeps platform cost steady while you add checks, delays, and follow-ups inside a session. If your growth plan involves deeper automation and frequent touch points, this helps you experiment without watching a fast-rising meter.
Final word
Bitespeed’s page makes it easy to see plan email allowances but if you prefer a cost structure that stays predictable as your flows get richer, Heltar’s subscription plus per-session pricing is simple to plan and easy to scale.
