What each ManyChat plan includes, in short
- Free: 25 active contacts, up to 4 automations, and any 2 of Instagram, TikTok, Messenger and Telegram. No card needed.

The API is not on the Free plan. Which paid plan includes it is unclear: a ManyChat community moderator said in April 2026 that APIs are included from Pro to Advanced, while ManyChat's help centre plan guide lists API access under Advanced. Ask ManyChat before you buy for the API. If you want your AI assistant to run Instagram campaigns, see our ManyChat MCP page.
ManyChat Active Contacts pricing, March 2026
You pay per person.Not per follower.
On 2 March 2026 ManyChat moved to billing by active contacts. It is the default for accounts created on or after that date.
What counts as an active contact
According to Blotato's summary of ManyChat's help articles, a contact is active when a message is sent to them or received from them through ManyChat during the billing month. That covers automations, Manychat AI, broadcasts and live chat.
- A person who messages you ten times still counts once that month.
- Followers who never message you don't count. Imported contacts count only once a message goes either way.
- The count resets every month, including on annual plans.
For a comment-to-DM reel, every person who comments your keyword and gets the DM is an active contact. If 5,000 different people comment on your reels in a month, that is 5,000 active contacts.
What happens when you go over
Your automations keep running and ManyChat charges for each extra contact. On Pro, monthly billing, 5,000 active contacts comes to about $164 a month (₹15,580), and 10,000 comes to about $414 (₹39,330), before bank charges. You can set an overage threshold under Settings, Billing, Subscription. Past about 3,700 active contacts, Business ($99) costs less than Pro with overage.
Is my older ManyChat account on the new pricing?
Accounts created before 2 March 2026 are being moved country by country, and every Free account has already moved. ManyChat's billing FAQ and its plan articles don't fully agree on whether older paid accounts can switch yet, so check the subscription page inside your own account.

ManyChat price with GST and bank charges
What you payon top.
The dollar price is not your final bill. Here is what usually gets added when you pay a US software company from India. Rules and rates change, so check with your bank and your CA.
Your bank's forex markup
Indian cards usually add a foreign-currency markup on a payment in dollars, commonly 2 to 3.5% depending on the card. Some cards charge less or nothing. The rate your bank uses can also differ from the rate you see on Google. Your card statement is the real number.
GST on that markup
Banks charge 18% GST on their markup fee. On a 3.5% markup that adds about 0.63% of the bill. The calculator above includes it.
GST on the subscription itself
If your business is GST-registered, buying software from a company outside India may mean you pay GST under reverse charge, and you may be able to claim it back as input tax credit. This depends on your registration, so ask your CA. We couldn't confirm whether ManyChat adds Indian tax to its own invoices for individuals; check your invoice.
Card and payment method
ManyChat's paid plans need a card, and you pay in US dollars. Many Indian banks keep international online payments switched off until you turn them on in their app.
