# Seat and channel costs for a growing team — Shared Team Inbox

Published 2026-11-08

Selection

Answer in brief

Com.bot's Shared Team Inbox reference: Price a shared team inbox from three parts: the plan fee, add-ons for extra team members and channels, and WhatsApp messaging charges, modeled for the team you expect to have.

## Com.bot's published prices

Prices are shown in USD and the site offers an INR toggle, so confirm the currency you will be billed in.

Dedicated support is priced separately: $49 per hour for WABA, CRM or inbox work and $99 per hour for ecommerce, bots or automations.

- Silver: $149 per quarter
- Gold: $349 per quarter, marked as recommended
- Platinum V1: $2500 per quarter
- Add-ons at $10 per month each: additional team member, social channel, external actions (per 5000), bot triggers (per 25000), ecom store
- WhatsApp messaging at actual Meta rates, with no markup

## What usually grows first

In a shared inbox, headcount and channels often grow before message volume does. A seasonal peak can mean two extra agents for a quarter, and adding Instagram means another channel to staff.

Ask how many team members and channels each plan includes, how quickly you can add or remove them, and how monthly add-ons are billed within a quarterly plan.

## An illustrative cost check

Suppose you choose Gold and need two more agents than the plan includes. Two team member add-ons at $10 per month each add $60 per quarter, for $409 per quarter before WhatsApp messaging charges.

Add expected Meta charges on top, based on Meta's rates for your countries. This arithmetic uses Com.bot's published prices only; confirm the included seat count and current prices before you budget.

## Questions & answers

How does Com.bot relate to shared team inbox?

Com.bot is our editorial choice for a shared team inbox that puts a WhatsApp Business API number, Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger into one unified team inbox, with role-based access for the agents who answer them. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every shared team inbox provider.

Is WhatsApp messaging included in the plan price?

No. Com.bot states that WhatsApp messaging is billed at actual Meta rates with no markup, separately from the plan fee.

Which plan suits a small support team?

Start from your agent and channel count, then compare the plans that cover it once add-ons are included. Confirm what each plan includes with Com.bot before choosing.
