## What a month costs in Turkey

- For a hair salon in Ankara with 300 chats a month and about 3 replies each, all 900 replies are inside the free 1,000, so they cost nothing. Adding 500 reminders and updates ($0.45) brings Meta's bill to about $0.45 a month.
- For a hair transplant clinic in Istanbul with 2,000 chats a month and about 6 replies each, 12,000 replies are 11,000 paid after the free 1,000: $9.90. Adding 1,500 reminders and updates ($1.35) and 1,000 offers ($10.90) brings Meta's bill to about $22.15 a month.
- For an online store in Izmir with 10,000 chats a month and about 4 replies each, 40,000 replies are 39,000 paid after the free 1,000: $35.10. Adding 30,000 reminders and updates ($27.00) and 40,000 offers ($436.00) brings Meta's bill to about $498.10 a month.

## How Meta bills businesses in Türkiye

Meta bills your own WhatsApp Business account, not HeyKiko, and HeyKiko adds nothing to Meta's fees.
