What it costs to automate WhatsApp for a clinic in Colombia

Automating WhatsApp for a clinic in Colombia has two separate costs: Meta's per-message fees and the implementation plus the AI agent. We publish our plans openly in Colombian pesos (with a rough USD reference) instead of hiding them behind a quote form: from $290,000 COP/month, setup included, 30 days free.

If you’re evaluating WhatsApp automation for a clinic in Colombia — as an owner, a partner or an investor benchmarking against US tools — the first wall you hit is that almost nobody publishes a price. Here’s ours, in the open, plus how to think about the real cost.

What does it really cost?

There are two separate costs, and most vendors blur them:

  1. What you pay Meta to use the WhatsApp Business Platform (the API): today Meta charges per certain message types, not a flat monthly fee.
  2. What you pay the provider that designs, installs and maintains the AI agent, the calendar integration and the dashboard.

The Meta cost is usually small for a business that mostly replies to inbound messages. The cost that sets your budget is the provider’s — which is where we put the numbers on the table.

The two costs, side by side

MessagesMeta (WhatsApp)Per template/conversation; inbound replies within 24h are free
Implementation + AI agentYour provider (Brevia)Published monthly fee; setup included

How does this compare to US/EU chatbot pricing?

US chatbot SaaS is typically priced in dollars and sold as self-serve software you configure yourself. Brevia is a done-for-you service priced in pesos for the Colombian market — so the absolute numbers look low by US standards, but you’re not getting less: you’re getting the whole system installed and maintained, in a lower-cost economy. Don’t read “cheaper” as “lighter.”

What’s in a Brevia plan?

We publish all three plans in Colombian pesos, no quote form:

PlanPriceWhat’s included
Chat (AI)$290,000 COP/moWhatsApp + Instagram + Facebook, replies and books 24/7, consented data capture, dashboard
Voice (AI)$490,000 COP/moAn agent that answers calls, replies and books by voice, a summary of every call
Chat + Voice$690,000 COP/moEverything above + a website included + reminders and automation

All three start with 30 days free, no card, no lock-in, and installation is included. (As a rough reference, $290,000 COP is on the order of ~70 USD/month — use the live rate; we bill in pesos.)

Why we publish prices when competitors don’t

Hidden pricing lets a vendor charge each client differently and forces you through sales calls just to learn the number. We publish because transparency converts better than mystery — you know what you pay and what you get from minute one. It’s the same logic behind including Ley 1581 compliance in every plan: total clarity, no fine print.

Frequently asked

Why is this cheaper than US chatbot tools?

Costs are denominated in Colombian pesos and the operation is local, so the absolute numbers look low against US SaaS pricing. You're paying for a done-for-you system in a lower-cost market — not a stripped-down product.

Do I pay in COP or USD?

Billing is in Colombian pesos (COP). A USD figure is only a reference for comparison; the actual subscription is charged in pesos.

Are there setup or onboarding fees?

No. Installation is included in the monthly plan, and you start with 30 days free, no card and no lock-in. The first charge happens once the trial ends and the system is live.

What does Meta charge on top?

Service conversations — where the customer messages you and you reply within 24 hours — aren't charged. Only certain business-initiated templates outside that window are billed, usually cents per message.
