Landbot pricing in 2026: every plan, the WhatsApp add-on, and what you pay when chats run over
Landbot has a free plan and a clear price list, but three meters run underneath it: regular chats, AI chats, and WhatsApp messages. This guide is for owners deciding whether Landbot fits their budget. It lists every plan as of October 2026, explains each meter, and prices two realistic months.
Quick answer
Landbot has a free plan, then Starter at €40 a month and Professional at €100 a month (€32 and €80 billed yearly; $45 and $110 in US dollars). WhatsApp with your own number needs Professional plus a €100 a month add-on. Extra chats cost €0.05, extra AI chats €0.10, and Landbot adds €0.05 to Meta's fee for each template message.
How much does Landbot cost?
Landbot costs €0, €40 or €100 a month for its Free, Starter and Professional plans on monthly billing, with 20% off if you pay yearly. WhatsApp with your own number is a €100 a month add-on on Professional. Business starts from €400 a month by quote.
| Plan | Monthly (EUR / USD) | Yearly, per month (EUR / USD) | Chats a month | AI chats a month | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | €0 | 100 | None | 1 |
| Starter | €40 / $45 | €32 / $36 | 500 | 100 | 2 |
| Professional | €100 / $110 | €80 / $88 | 2,500 | 300 | 3 |
| Professional with WhatsApp | €200 / $210 | €180 / $188 | 2,500 | 500 | 3 |
| Business | From €400 a month, custom | Custom | Custom | 5 or more | |
Prices from Landbot's pricing page, checked October 2026, before tax. Landbot bills in euros from the EU and in US dollars elsewhere. The Professional with WhatsApp row is Professional plus the €100 ($100) add-on as the plan card calculates it; the comparison table on the same page lists "Professional WA" at €160 a month, so confirm the figure at checkout. Paid plans come with a 14-day trial and no card; when it ends you drop to Free rather than being charged.
What are Landbot's chats, AI chats and seats?
Landbot counts three things separately. Knowing which one your business will burn through first is the key to predicting the bill.
- Chat
- A session between your bot and one visitor following a rule-based flow, counted within a 24-hour period across all channels. Over your allowance, each extra chat is €0.05, billed in packs of 500 for €25. Landbot says it alerts you at 80% and 90% of the allowance.
- AI chat
- A chat handled fully or partly by an AI agent, which reads intent and answers from your knowledge base instead of only following buttons. AI chats are tracked separately, and each one over the allowance costs €0.10.
- Seat
- One person who uses the shared inbox to take over chats. Extra seats are €25 a month each.
If your bot is mostly buttons, the chat allowance is what matters. If you lean on the AI agent for open questions, the AI chat allowance runs out first: Starter's 100 AI chats is about three a day.
What does WhatsApp really cost on Landbot?
WhatsApp on Landbot has three layers: the €100 a month add-on on Professional, Meta's per-message fees, and Landbot's own surcharge on certain messages. Free and Starter can only try WhatsApp with Landbot's test number.
| WhatsApp message type | What you pay |
|---|---|
| Service messages 1 to 1,000 a month | Free |
| Service messages 1,001 to 10,000 | Meta's fee only |
| Service messages above 10,000 | Meta's fee plus €0.003 each |
| Marketing, utility or authentication templates | Meta's fee plus €0.05 each |
| Additional WhatsApp number | €100 a month |
From Landbot's plan comparison, checked October 2026. One caution: a tooltip on the same page describes the WhatsApp add-on as Meta's fee "plus a flat 20% from Landbot", which does not match the €0.05 per template in the table. Ask Landbot which applies to your account before you plan template-heavy campaigns.
The €0.05 surcharge matters more than it looks. Meta's list rate for a utility message to Spain is about $0.020, and for India about $0.0014, according to the rates Twilio republishes from Meta. On those, Landbot's €0.05 is the larger part of each reminder you send. Our explainer on WhatsApp Business API pricing covers Meta's side, including the 1,000 free service messages per number that began on 1 October 2026.
What a language school and a roofer would pay
Both businesses are hypothetical. Meta fees use US dollar list rates; your invoice may be in euros.
A language school in Valencia, website and WhatsApp
| Line | Working | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Professional plus WhatsApp, monthly | €100 + €100 | €200 |
| Chats | 2,000 used of 2,500 | €0 |
| AI chats over allowance | 800 used minus 500 included = 300 x €0.10 | €30 |
| WhatsApp service messages | 1,500: first 1,000 free, 500 at Meta's fee of about $0.020 | About $10 |
| Course-start reminders (utility) | 300 x (about $0.020 Meta + €0.05 Landbot) | About $6 + €15 |
| Total | About €245 plus $16 |
On yearly billing the plan line drops to €180, saving €240 over the year. The AI overage is the line to watch: if term-start enquiries double in September, it doubles too.
A roofing company in Leeds, website only
Starter on monthly billing in US dollars: $45. It handles 400 chats, inside the 500 included, and 150 AI chats, so 50 over the allowance at $0.10 each: $5. Two people share the inbox, which Starter covers. Total: $50 a month, or $41 on yearly billing. No WhatsApp, because Starter cannot connect your own number.
What is included, and what is not?
Human takeover through a shared inbox is included from Starter. Removing Landbot branding, the HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho and Google Sheets integrations, webhooks and the API start at Professional. Messenger and API chat channels are not on Free, and the API is not on Starter.
Landbot also offers Agent Studio, where its team designs and builds your agent. It is included in Business and sold as a service on other plans; the price is not published. Landbot says it does not use your chats to train models and offers a DPA on request.
Is Landbot worth the money?
Landbot is worth it if you want a visual, button-led bot for lead capture on your website, and you value its builder and templates. It gets expensive once WhatsApp is the main channel, because the jump from Starter to Professional with WhatsApp takes the bill from €40 to €200 a month before overages.
Good value when
Your bot is mostly structured flows, your traffic fits the chat allowance, you want a free plan to experiment, or you need HubSpot or Salesforce integration on Professional.
Poor value when
You want an AI agent answering open questions all day, you only need WhatsApp, or you send many utility templates where the €0.05 surcharge outweighs Meta's own fee.
Fair alternatives to Landbot
We make ReplyKit, a competing product, so weigh this section accordingly. For a broader list see Landbot alternatives, and for another builder's pricing see Voiceflow pricing.
ReplyKit is a narrower tool: an AI agent that answers WhatsApp and your website from your own content, qualifies leads and books appointments, with no flow builder. Plans are $29, $49 and $99 a month with 1,000, 5,000 or 20,000 AI replies included, and no Meta fees. The reason there are no Meta fees is the trade-off: ReplyKit connects through a QR code that links your number as a device, which is unofficial, not the WhatsApp Business API, and not sanctioned by Meta, so a number can be restricted. Read will WhatsApp ban my number for automation? and use a spare or dedicated number. It cannot send templates or broadcasts. For the Valencia school's enquiries it could cost less; for its term-start reminders it cannot help. Compare the plans, read ReplyKit vs Landbot, or start a 7-day free trial.
