---# ManyChat Pricing (2026): Every Plan and What It Really Costs

> ManyChat pricing has five plans: Free ($0, 25 active contacts), Essential ($17/mo), Pro ($39/mo), Business ($99/mo) and Advanced ($199/mo) on monthly billing, or $14, $29, $69 and $139 a month billed annually. Every paid plan bills by active contacts and charges overage past its allowance. Manychat AI is included from Pro up.

## Key takeaways

- ManyChat pricing has five tiers in 2026: Free ($0), Essential ($17/mo), Pro ($39/mo), Business ($99/mo) and Advanced ($199/mo) on monthly billing, or $14 to $139/mo billed annually (manychat.com/pricing, checked October 15, 2026).
- Billing is per active contact, defined by ManyChat as "a real person you interact with during a monthly billing period." One person counts once, however many messages you trade.
- ManyChat is free to start: the Free plan covers 25 active contacts, two channels and four live automations, with a "Powered by Manychat" watermark.
- Manychat AI is included in Pro, Business and Advanced at no extra charge under the current pricing model, per ManyChat's own pricing explainer.
- The cheapest plan changes at 470, 3,700 and 11,500 active contacts on monthly billing. Staying on Pro at 10,000 contacts costs $414 a month against $161.50 on Business.

ManyChat pricing runs from $0 on Free to $199 a month on Advanced, per manychat.com/pricing, or $14 to $139 a month if you pay annually. For a coach who closes in the DMs, that looks cheap on the surface. The number on the pricing page isn't the number you pay once your audience grows, though. ManyChat bills by _active contacts_, so the cost climbs quietly as more people message you. If you're still deciding [what ManyChat does](/blog/do-you-need-manychat) or comparing [ManyChat alternatives](/blog/manychat-alternative-for-coaches), start there.

## What are ManyChat's pricing tiers?

ManyChat has five tiers, listed below with what each includes. What you pay depends on active contacts rather than followers, so the meter moves with how much people message you, not how many people follow you. Last checked: October 15, 2026, on manychat.com/pricing and ManyChat's help centre.

| Plan | Monthly price | Billed annually | Included contacts | Overage per contact | Channels | Manychat AI |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | $0 | 25 | None (automations pause) | 2 | No |
| Essential | $17 | $14/mo | 250 | $0.10 | 2 | No |
| Pro | $39 | $29/mo | 2,500 | $0.05 | 3 | Included |
| Business | $99 | $69/mo | 7,500 | $0.025 | All eligible | Included |
| Advanced | $199 | $139/mo | 25,000 | $0.004 or less | All eligible | Included |

Free caps you at 25 contacts, two channels, one user, and four active automations, and stamps a "Powered by Manychat" watermark on your messages. Essential removes the watermark and the automation cap. Pro adds a third channel, broadcasts and Manychat AI. Business and Advanced open every eligible channel and more seats, with sharp drops in the overage rate. Annual billing is discounted 18% to 30% by tier, and Essential and Pro carry a 14-day free trial.

**Chart:** Manychat's monthly base price climbs from free to $199 as included contacts rise from 25 to 25,000. (Source: manychat.com/pricing, checked October 15, 2026.)

## How much is ManyChat Pro?

ManyChat Pro costs $39 a month on monthly billing, or $29 a month billed annually ($348 a year). That buys 2,500 active contacts, three channels, three users and Manychat AI. Past 2,500 contacts, overage runs $0.05 per contact on monthly billing or $0.038 on annual.

| Active contacts in the month | Pro, monthly billing | Pro, annual billing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 500 | $39 | $29 |
| 2,500 | $39 | $29 |
| 5,000 | $164 | $124 |
| 10,000 | $414 | $314 |
| 25,000 | $1,164 | $884 |

Calculated from ManyChat's published Pro price and overage rates, checked October 15, 2026. Above about 3,700 contacts, Business is cheaper than staying on Pro.

## Is ManyChat AI included in Pro?

Yes. Under ManyChat's current pricing, Manychat AI is built into Pro, Business and Advanced at no extra cost, according to ManyChat's own pricing explainer. It handles intent detection and AI replies inside the flows you build. Free and Essential don't include it, so Pro at $39 is the cheapest way to get AI in ManyChat today.

## How does active-contact billing actually work?

One person, one contact, one month. An active contact is "a real person you interact with during a monthly billing period," whether that happens through messages or automations, per ManyChat's pricing FAQ. Trade forty messages with someone and they still count once, and the count resets each cycle.

Two details matter more than the definition. ManyChat sends email and in-app warnings as you approach your allowance, and lets you set overage limits. And if you blow past the allowance then upgrade inside the same cycle, ManyChat wipes the overage you've already run up and rolls those contacts into the new plan's allowance. That rule can rescue a launch month, but only if you know about it before the invoice lands.

The meter tracks reach, not intent. Someone who comments a keyword and never replies again bills the same as a lead who books a call.

## What does ManyChat cost at 500, 2,500, 10,000, and 25,000 contacts?

ManyChat costs less than the pricing page suggests at the bottom, and a lot more in the middle. On the cheapest available plan, it runs $0 at 25 contacts, $39 at 500 and 2,500, $99 at 5,000, about $161.50 at 10,000, and $199 at 25,000 a month, using monthly rates from manychat.com/pricing. The jumps aren't smooth, and the cheapest plan is often not the one you'd guess.

| Active contacts | Cheapest plan | Monthly cost | How it's calculated |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 25 | Free | $0 | Included |
| 500 | Pro | $39 | Included. Essential would cost $42 ($17 + 250 x $0.10) |
| 2,500 | Pro | $39 | Included |
| 5,000 | Business | $99 | Included. Pro would cost $164 ($39 + 2,500 x $0.05) |
| 10,000 | Business | $161.50 | $99 + 2,500 x $0.025 |
| 25,000 | Advanced | $199 | Included |
| 50,000 | Advanced | $299 | $199 + 25,000 x $0.004 |

Three crossover points decide your plan, on monthly billing. Essential loses to Pro above 470 active contacts ($17 + 220 x $0.10 = $39). Pro loses to Business above 3,700 ($39 + 1,200 x $0.05 = $99). Business loses to Advanced above 11,500 ($99 + 4,000 x $0.025 = $199). Those three numbers are the only maths you need.

## How do you use a ManyChat pricing calculator to estimate your bill?

Use one formula: your monthly cost is the plan price plus your active contacts above the allowance, multiplied by that plan's overage rate. That's all a ManyChat pricing calculator does, and you can run it in a minute with the figures in the tiers table above.

**Monthly cost = plan price + (active contacts minus included contacts) x overage per contact.** Here it is with monthly billing on two plans:

- **Pro at 5,000 active contacts:** $39 + (5,000 minus 2,500) x $0.05 = $39 + $125 = $164 a month.
- **Business at 10,000 active contacts:** $99 + (10,000 minus 7,500) x $0.025 = $99 + $62.50 = $161.50 a month.

Run the same sum for the plan above and the plan below yours, then pick the cheapest. Annual billing changes both inputs: Pro drops to $29 a month with $0.038 overage, so redo the sum with those figures before you prepay. ManyChat's pricing page has a short quiz that suggests a plan from your channels and goals, but it doesn't estimate overage, so the formula is the number to trust.

## The success tax: what does a good month cost you?

You pay for reach here, not for results, so the months your content works are the months your bill spikes. That's the success tax, and it gets brutal if you stay on a plan you've outgrown. A coach on Pro at 10,000 active contacts pays $39 plus 7,500 contacts of overage at $0.05, which is $414 a month for a plan advertised at $39.

| Active contacts | Cost if you stay on Pro | Cost on the right plan | You overpay |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2,500 | $39 | $39 (Pro) | $0 |
| 5,000 | $164 | $99 (Business) | $65 |
| 10,000 | $414 | $161.50 (Business) | $252.50 |
| 25,000 | $1,164 | $199 (Advanced) | $965 |

**Chart:** At 10,000 active contacts, staying on ManyChat Pro costs $414 a month against $161.50 on Business. (Calculated from published monthly base prices and overage rates, manychat.com/pricing, September 2026.)

Cost per contact tells the same story. On the cheapest plan you pay about $0.078 per contact at 500, $0.0156 at 2,500, $0.0162 at 10,000, and $0.008 at 25,000. The curve dips, rises again in the 3,000 to 10,000 band, then improves. The coach in the middle, right after a launch works, pays the most per person.

## What's included, and what costs extra

The plan price buys the flow builder, the inbox, broadcasts on Pro and up, and your contact allowance. Three real costs sit outside it.

**WhatsApp messages.** Since 1 July 2025, Meta charges per delivered template message rather than per 24-hour conversation, priced by category and country, per Meta's developer documentation. Marketing, utility, and authentication templates are billed. Since October 1, 2026, service messages (replies inside an open customer service window) are free only for the first 1,000 per number each month, and Meta charges after that. Meta invoices those fees, not ManyChat, so a WhatsApp funnel always costs more than the sticker.

**Manychat AI.** Under the pricing model ManyChat introduced on March 2, 2026, AI is built into Pro, Business and Advanced at no extra cost, per ManyChat's own pricing explainer. Free and Essential leave it out. You get intent detection and AI replies inside your flows, not an agent that runs a sales conversation on its own. Older accounts still on the previous pricing model may see the AI add-on billed differently, so check your own plan page.

**Channels and seats.** Free and Essential cap you at two channels and Pro at three, so adding Telegram or WhatsApp to an Instagram and Messenger setup can force a tier change by itself. Seats are capped too: one on Free, three on Pro, ten on Advanced.

**Build time.** Mapping keywords, branches, and fallbacks takes real hours, and a half-built flow drops leads into dead ends. Setting up [comment-to-DM automation](/blog/comment-to-dm-automation) properly takes a weekend, and it isn't a one-off: every new offer needs its own branches. Our [appointment setter cost](/blog/how-much-does-an-appointment-setter-cost) guide prices that time against hiring.

## Worked example: Priya's launch month

Priya coaches nutrition clients and sells a 12-week programme. The walkthrough is made up, but every figure comes from ManyChat's published rates.

In a normal month she runs one comment-to-DM keyword and gets about 380 active contacts. On Essential that's $17 plus 130 contacts of overage at $0.10, so $30, about $0.079 per contact. She picked Essential because it's the cheapest line on the pricing page.

Then a Reel about meal prep travels. Over nine days 4,100 people comment her keyword, and her older flows pull in another 900. She finishes the cycle at **5,000 active contacts**.

- On Essential: $17 + 4,750 x $0.10 = $492
- On Pro: $39 + 2,500 x $0.05 = $16**4**
- On Business: **$99**, because 5,000 sits inside the 7,500 allowance

On Essential, the invoice would have read $492, roughly sixteen times her usual bill, for the month her content finally worked. Timing saves her. Because ManyChat forgives overage already incurred when you upgrade within the cycle, moving to Business on day six wipes the charge she's built up and rolls all 5,000 contacts into the new allowance. Her cost lands near $99 plus a part-month adjustment, and her per-contact cost drops to about $0.020.

The lesson isn't "buy the bigger plan." The upgrade button is a billing tool as much as a feature upgrade, and it only works before the cycle closes.

## Is ManyChat free?

Yes, ManyChat is free to start, with a permanent Free plan and no card required. The catch is size. Free covers 25 active contacts a month, so one post that draws 26 keyword comments stops your automations for everyone else that cycle. Paid plans start at $17 a month for Essential.

## What the ManyChat free plan includes

The Free plan gives you enough to learn the builder and test one idea. Per manychat.com/pricing and ManyChat's help centre, checked October 15, 2026, it includes:

- **25 active contacts a month**, with automations pausing past that rather than billing overage.
- **Two channels**, such as Instagram and Messenger.
- **Four live automations** and one user seat.
- **A "Powered by Manychat" watermark** on your messages.

It leaves out Manychat AI, broadcasts and the third channel, which all start on Pro.

## When is the free plan genuinely enough?

Free is enough when you're testing a mechanism rather than running a funnel. Twenty-five active contacts covers one keyword test or a week of learning the builder.

Stay on Free if all of these hold: you post fewer than three times a week, your posts draw under 25 keyword comments a month, you work solo, you use two channels or fewer, and you don't mind the "Powered by Manychat" watermark. That describes a coach in their first months, and there's no reason to pay $17 for a meter you won't move.

Leave Free the moment one post breaks 25 comments, because your automations stop firing for everyone after that. The watermark is the other honest reason to upgrade: on a $3,000 programme, a branded footer on your first message reads like a shortcut.

## How does ManyChat compare on price?

ManyChat is one of the cheapest ways into this category, and that's a fair reason to pick it. Chatfuel's Business plan starts at $18 a month billed yearly, Respond.io's Starter at $79 a month billed yearly ($99 monthly), and Setter AI's entry credit tier at $497 a month, all per their pricing pages checked October 15, 2026. The billing unit differs more than the number does. Contacts, conversations, chats, and credits are not the same thing, which makes headline prices hard to compare.

For a full head-to-head with Chatfuel, see [ManyChat vs Chatfuel](/blog/manychat-vs-chatfuel).

| Tool | Free plan | Entry paid price | Billing unit | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ManyChat | Yes, 25 contacts | $17/mo (Essential), $39/mo (Pro) | Active contacts/month | Comment-to-DM and keyword flows |
| Chatfuel | Free trial only | $18/mo billed yearly (Business) | Prepaid AI-credit balance | AI sales flows on Meta channels |
| Tidio | Yes (Free plan) | $24.17/mo (Starter, billed annually) | Billable conversations | Website live chat and Lyro AI |
| Landbot | Yes, 100 chats | EUR 32/mo billed annually (Starter) | Chats/month | Web and WhatsApp bots |
| Respond.io | 7-day trial | $79/mo billed yearly (Starter) | Monthly active contacts | Multi-agent team inboxes |
| Setter AI | Not shown | $497/mo, or about $397/mo yearly | Credits | Speed-to-lead call booking |
| Luca | No | $99/mo for 1,250 replies | Replies | Coaches closing in the DMs |

A few honest calls. If your traffic is web-first, Tidio's free tier of 50 conversations beats ManyChat's 25 contacts and costs nothing. If three or four people share one inbox, Respond.io is built for that and ManyChat's seat caps will annoy you. Our [best AI DM setter](/blog/best-ai-dm-setter) roundup and [ManyChat alternative](/blog/manychat-alternative-for-coaches) guide go tool by tool.

## How do you read the quote before you buy?

Run this against your own numbers before you pick a tier.

1. **Count active contacts, not followers.** Add up keyword comments, story replies, and inbound DMs over your last three months.
2. **Take the peak month, not the average.** Billing is monthly, so the launch month is the one that hurts.
3. **Check the crossover points.** Above 470 contacts, skip Essential. Above 3,700, skip Pro. Above 11,500, take Advanced.
4. **Count your channels.** Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram each burn a slot. Four means Business or higher.
5. **Count your seats.** A VA, a second coach, or an ops person each needs one.
6. **Price WhatsApp separately.** Estimate template messages a month and check Meta's rate card for your leads' countries.
7. **Skip annual until you've seen a launch.** The discount is real, and so is prepaying for a tier you sized wrong.

## How do you reduce your ManyChat bill?

**Set an overage limit before the launch.** ManyChat lets you cap overage and warns you as you approach the allowance. Set it the week before you publish.

**Upgrade mid-cycle instead of eating overage.** Overage already charged in the cycle is forgiven when you move up a tier.

**Stop counting people you don't want.** A keyword tied to a specific problem, like "MACROS" rather than "INFO," brings fewer contacts and better ones.

**Keep WhatsApp replies inside the free window.** Your first 1,000 service messages a month per number are free inside an open customer service window, so answering fast beats re-opening the thread with a paid template.

**Keep it all in one account.** Running two ManyChat accounts doubles your base fee and splits your allowance. Clear out sleeping automations too, since a forgotten keyword can wake old contacts and bill you for them.

### Is there a ManyChat coupon code?

ManyChat doesn't list coupon codes on its pricing page. The reliable ManyChat discount is annual billing, which saves 18% on Essential, 25% on Pro and 30% on Business and Advanced, plus a 14-day free trial on Essential and Pro (manychat.com/pricing, retrieved October 17, 2026).

Two official extras are worth checking on the day you sign up. ManyChat's own offers page currently advertises 50% off your first two months of Pro. Its Partner Program FAQ says new users who sign up through a partner link get a discount applied at checkout, and that existing accounts don't qualify. Promotions change, so confirm the offer on a manychat.com page before you count on it.

Third-party coupon sites list plenty of codes, and they often don't match any live offer. Treat a code that doesn't appear on a manychat.com page as unverified.

## Which edge cases catch coaches out?

**A re-engagement campaign on day 28.** Every dormant contact who replies becomes billable for that cycle, and you have two days left to use them. Send re-engagement campaigns at the start of a cycle.

**The holiday month.** Your subscription bills in full whether you post or not. If you're taking six weeks off, downgrade before the renewal date and upgrade when you're back.

**Engagement bait that works too well.** A "comment YES for the free guide" post can quadruple your active contacts with people who'll never buy, at $0.05 each.

**A shared account with a VA.** If your assistant replies from the inbox on a one-seat plan, you're either sharing a login or hitting the cap.

**Instagram limits your account mid-cycle.** Your automations stop and your subscription doesn't. Our guide on whether [ManyChat is safe](/blog/is-manychat-safe) covers that risk.

## Troubleshooting: why your bill doesn't match your plan

A bill that doesn't match your plan usually comes down to one of the six causes below. Find your symptom, then apply the fix before the next cycle closes.

| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bill is 3 to 5 times the plan price | Overage on contacts past the allowance | Upgrade within the cycle so accrued overage is forgiven |
| Contact count jumped with no new posts | An old broadcast or keyword flow re-engaged dormant contacts | Go through your automations and archive what you no longer run |
| Separate charge from Meta, not ManyChat | Meta bills WhatsApp templates per delivered message | Reply inside the 24-hour service window, where the first 1,000 service messages a month are free |
| Automations stopped firing on Free | Hit the 25-contact cap or the 4-automation limit | Upgrade, or wait for the reset and cut to four flows |
| "Powered by Manychat" on your messages | Free-plan watermark | Any paid plan removes it |
| Downgraded but still charged the old price | Plan changes take effect at the cycle boundary | Downgrade before the renewal date, not after |

## Common mistakes coaches make with ManyChat billing

**Buying Essential because it's the cheapest paid line on the page.** Essential beats Pro only below about 470 active contacts. Above that, the $0.10 overage rate makes it the most expensive plan ManyChat sells, and it leaves out Manychat AI.

**Treating follower count as the meter.** A 40,000-follower account posting quietly bills less than an 8,000-follower account running weekly keyword campaigns.

**Launching without an overage limit.** The tool warns you and lets you cap it. Most coaches learn that from an invoice.

**Pricing a WhatsApp funnel on the subscription alone.** Meta's per-message fees land separately and vary by country, and in the pricier ones they can cost more than the plan itself.

**Paying for reach and calling it pipeline.** If your active-contact count doubles and your booked calls don't, you've bought traffic.

**Prepaying annually too early.** Get two normal months and one launch month of data before you lock a tier for a year.

## Who does ManyChat fit, and who should skip it?

What you're buying is _automation_. ManyChat follows the branches you draw and fires the right message when a trigger hits. For comment-to-DM capture, keyword giveaways, lead-magnet delivery, or broadcasting a launch, it's a strong buy and Pro at $39 covers most coaches. If you're still shortlisting, our roundup of the [best Instagram DM tool for coaches](/blog/best-instagram-dm-tool-for-coaches) sets it against the alternatives.

The branch, stated plainly:

- **Choose ManyChat** if your bottleneck is capture. You have reach, people comment, and you need a link delivered fast. Budget Pro, and Business once you cross 3,700 contacts.
- **Choose an AI DM setter** if your bottleneck is conversation. Leads reply, ask about price, hesitate, and go quiet, and you're the one answering every time.
- **Run both** if you have volume and a high-ticket offer. ManyChat captures at the top, the setter works the thread toward a call.
- **Hire a human setter** if your offer needs live objection handling within minutes and your margins carry roughly $41,420 a year, per Salary.com. The [hiring a setter versus an AI](/blog/hire-a-setter-vs-ai) guide covers that maths.

ManyChat fits less well when the DM _is_ your sales floor. A keyword flow can greet a lead and hand over a link. It can't read the person in front of it, or answer an objection nobody drew a branch for, the way a reply written in your writing style can. Free and Essential don't even include the AI layer that gets you partway there.

The honest limit is simple. ManyChat is an automation tool first, so making it feel like a one-to-one sales chat takes heavy flow design. Even then it reads like automation to a sharp prospect, and the failure is quiet: the lead doesn't complain, they stop replying. No tier removes that ceiling, and the fix is manual. You spot the stalled thread and take it over yourself, which works right up until you have forty of them.

## How does Luca compare?

ManyChat pricing makes sense when you need cheap flow automation and your active contacts stay inside one plan's allowance. Luca is priced for a different job: replying to each lead and setting the call.

Luca is a different category: the DM sales platform for coaches, creators, and experts, built as what people search for as an [AI DM setter](/blog/what-is-an-ai-dm-setter). It reads each conversation and drafts a reply the way you write, and it only replies to people who messaged you first. Auto-send is on by default on every channel, and you can switch any channel to review. Instead of drawing flows, you get replies that qualify the lead, run follow-up cadences on Pro and Scale, and move toward a booked call. Telegram, Instagram and Messenger are live today, and WhatsApp is coming soon.

Luca's pricing is $99, $249 and $499 a month for 1,250, 4,000 and 8,500 replies, billed by replies rather than contacts. Every Luca plan comes with a 7-day free trial (card required). A lead who messages you many times uses more of that allowance, and a stranger who comments a keyword and vanishes without a reply costs nothing. If you want cheap flow automation, ManyChat wins on price. If you want replies that match the way you write and set calls, that's what Luca is for. Our [ManyChat review](/blog/manychat-review) covers the product side, and full numbers live on our [pricing](/pricing) page.


## FAQ

### How much does ManyChat cost per month?

ManyChat costs $0 on Free, $17 on Essential, $39 on Pro, $99 on Business and $199 on Advanced per month on monthly billing. Annual billing drops those to $14, $29, $69 and $139 a month (manychat.com/pricing, checked October 15, 2026). Every paid plan also charges overage per active contact past its allowance.

### Is ManyChat free?

Yes, ManyChat has a free plan, but it's small. Free covers 25 active contacts a month, two channels, four live automations and one seat, and it adds a "Powered by Manychat" watermark. It's enough to test comment-to-DM and learn the builder. Most coaches outgrow it the first time a post draws more than 25 comments.

### Does ManyChat have a coupon code or discount?

No public coupon codes are listed on ManyChat's pricing page. The dependable ManyChat discount is annual billing, 18% to 30% off by tier, plus a 14-day free trial on Essential and Pro. ManyChat's own offers page also advertises 50% off the first two months of Pro, so check it the day you sign up (retrieved October 17, 2026).

### Does ManyChat charge extra for AI?

No, not under ManyChat's current pricing. Manychat AI is built into the Pro, Business and Advanced plans at no extra cost, according to ManyChat's own pricing explainer. Free and Essential don't include it. Accounts still on the older pre-March 2026 pricing model may see a different setup, so check your plan page.

### What counts as an active contact in ManyChat?

An active contact is "a real person you interact with during a monthly billing period," through messages or automations, per ManyChat. One person counts once no matter how many messages you exchange, and the count resets each cycle. Someone who comments a keyword and never replies bills the same as a booked lead.

### Is ManyChat worth it for coaches?

ManyChat is worth it for coaches who need keyword automation, lead-magnet delivery and broadcasts, and Pro at $39 a month covers most of them. It's less worth it when your sales happen inside the DM conversation itself. A flow builder can deliver a link, but it can't hold a qualifying conversation the way you write.
