Channel pricing

Octopods charges based on the number and type of channels you subscribe to.

Omnichannel

Omnichannel covers supported channels such as Telegram, Facebook Messenger, LINE, Slack, TikTok, WeChat, and SMS.

Pricing is:

  • First Omnichannel channel: $49/month

  • Each additional Omnichannel channel: $39/month

You can mix different Omnichannel channel types under the same subscription.

For example, if you subscribe to:

  • 1 Telegram channel

  • 1 Facebook Messenger channel

  • 1 Slack channel

you need 3 Omnichannel channels.

The monthly subscription is: $49 + $39 + $39 = $127/month

WhatsApp

WhatsApp pricing depends on the customer platform you connect to Octopods.

Customer platform

WhatsApp subscription

Intercom

$99/month per WhatsApp Business number

HubSpot

Uses an Omnichannel channel

Each WhatsApp Business number counts separately.

For example, connecting two WhatsApp Business numbers to Intercom requires two WhatsApp subscriptions.

Adding multiple channels

You can subscribe to and connect Omnichannel and WhatsApp at the same time. Each subscription type has its own quantity and available channel connections.

For example, you can have:

  • An Omnichannel quantity of 3, allowing you to connect up to 3 channels covered by Omnichannel.

  • A WhatsApp quantity of 2, allowing you to connect up to 2 WhatsApp Business numbers.

These subscriptions can all be active at the same time, so in this example you could have 3 Omnichannel channels and 2 WhatsApp Business numbers connected simultaneously.

You can use your available channel connections across different workspaces. You do not need a separate subscription for each Intercom or HubSpot workspace.

If all available connections for a subscription type are already in use, increase the quantity of that subscription before connecting another channel. See Upgrading or Adding Channels.

Included messaging usage

Your messaging allowance is based on your service level and, for Self-serve, the number of subscribed channels on your account.

Self-serve

Self-serve accounts include 50,000 messages per subscribed channel per month.

For example:

  • 1 subscribed channel = 50,000 messages/month

  • 3 subscribed channels = 150,000 messages/month

  • 5 subscribed channels = 250,000 messages/month

The total allowance is pooled across your account. It is not a separate message limit for each individual channel.

Premium

Premium accounts have a custom messaging allowance agreed with the Octopods team.

If your account exceeds its included messaging allowance, additional messaging charges may apply.

Free trial

Eligible new accounts receive a 7-day free trial starting when the Octopods account is created.

The trial applies to the account as a whole. Subscribing to another product does not start a new 7-day trial or extend the existing trial.

See Free Trial for the complete trial rules.

Provider fees

Octopods subscription fees cover the Octopods service only..

Charges from messaging providers are separate and may apply depending on the channel you use. For example, WhatsApp, Twilio, or Viber may charge their own messaging or service fees.

These provider charges are not included in your Octopods subscription price.
