Total Cost Estimate for a School in Canada

- Platform fee: $29–$99/month (depending on plan)
- WhatsApp conversation fees: ~$5–$20/month (at $0.01 per conversation)
- Total: $34–$119/month
With 89% parent message read rate and 2.4× faster fee collection typically delivered, the ROI becomes positive within the first month for most schools.
ROI Calculator for Schools
Here's how to calculate your expected ROI from WhatsApp Business API:
- Take your average customer transaction value
- Estimate how many additional visits/bookings per month the automation will generate (typically 15–30% of your contact list)
- Multiply by your transaction value to get monthly additional revenue
- Subtract the platform cost to get net ROI
Example: A school with 500 customers, $50 average transaction, recovering 15% of dormant customers = 75 transactions × $50 = $3,750 additional monthly revenue, minus $99/month platform cost = $3,651 net profit per month.
