What is Meta Business Agent?

Meta Business Agent is Meta's official AI agent platform for businesses within the Meta ecosystem, including WhatsApp.

Many people search for it as Meta AI Agent or Meta's AI agent. It automates commercial conversations: answering questions, qualifying leads, recommending products, and closing sales inside WhatsApp and other Meta channels.

How does Meta calculate the cost?

Meta bills agent usage according to the active pricing model. From August 1, 2026, Meta charges for messages generated by its AI agent.

In real sales scenarios, each agent message can cost around US$0.06 depending on complexity. Meta also published a US$2 per million tokens reference rate.

This calculator uses the configured active model (per message, per token, or per conversation) to estimate your monthly cost based on volume.

Factors that affect cost

Final cost depends on several factors:

  • Monthly conversation volume
  • Average agent messages per conversation
  • Interaction complexity (low, medium, or high)
  • Token consumption when Meta applies token-based billing
  • Future changes to Meta's pricing policy

Longer or more complex conversations (sales, advanced support, large catalogs) typically consume more agent messages and tokens.
