PIYION GUIDE · COLOMBIA · 2026

A WhatsApp campaign has two main cost components: Meta messaging charges and the platform used to segment contacts, schedule messages and handle replies. Your mix of message categories affects the total.

Quick answer: campaign pricing in Colombia depends on the message category, recipient market, delivered volume and platform. Piyion publishes plans from USD 99 per month. Meta messaging charges are separate; check the current rate card before preparing a budget.

What Meta charges

Meta calculates charges for delivered messages by market and category. Service messages are free, and some utility messages sent in response to users are also free. Check the current conditions before applying a rate.

Use the recipient’s market when preparing your estimate. Confirm the applicable message category and rate card for the date of the campaign.

What the platform charges

The platform provides tools for contacts, segmentation, templates, scheduling, users, a shared inbox and reporting. Ask whether its quote adds a markup to Meta charges, how many agents are included and what happens when your volume increases.

A budgeting formula

Estimated monthly cost = subscription + chargeable marketing messages + chargeable utility messages + chargeable authentication messages + implementation + integrations.

Work with delivered messages, rather than the number of contacts uploaded. Build scenarios for 5,000, 20,000 and 50,000 deliveries. Estimate replies separately so you can plan your team’s capacity. Include any applicable taxes or payment-provider charges in the final budget.

An illustrative example

Suppose you have 10,000 opted-in contacts and a delivery rate of 90%. If the campaign consists entirely of chargeable marketing messages to recipients in Colombia, multiply 9,000 by the applicable marketing rate. Add the platform subscription and any contracted services.

This example explains the calculation method. It is not a quote or a substitute for the current rate card.

Cost per result

Cost per message is only one measure. Track cost per reply, opportunity and sale. For example, if a campaign costs USD 250 and produces 400 replies, 80 opportunities and 12 sales, its cost is approximately USD 0.63 per reply, USD 3.13 per opportunity and USD 20.83 per sale.

These are illustrative figures, not promised results. Compare them with your margin, repeat purchases and the performance of other channels.

Reducing waste without sacrificing quality

  • Exclude contacts who have not consented or have opted out.
  • Segment by customer interest and stage.
  • Remove duplicate contacts from the campaign audience.
  • Test a small sample before expanding the campaign.
  • Keep messages useful and focused.
  • Pause segments with poor responses and investigate the cause.
