Free vs Pro: what you get

Free is genuinely useful and never expires. Pro removes limits and unlocks the full API and automation features.

2 min read Updated July 14, 2026

SocialMate’s free tier isn’t a crippled demo — it’s a working WhatsApp automation server you can run forever. Pro is for when you outgrow it. One flat license — one device included, add seats for more — and no per-message meter, ever.

Free — $0, forever

  • 1 WhatsApp account, 200 messages/day.
  • The full 8-layer anti-ban engine and live risk cockpit.
  • HTTP API — read endpoints + text send.
  • Quick Cloudflare tunnel (rotating URL), 2 webhook endpoints (9 free events, 100 deliveries/day).
  • Local message persistence on every tier (in-app history & search are Pro — Free is live-only).
  • Automatic updates.

Pro — from $99/year (or $10/month)

  • Unlimited WhatsApp accounts, up to 5,000 messages/day each (starts at a safe 500/day, scales as you warm up).
  • The full engine + High-Volume Mode custom limits — scale to 5,000/day after 72h warming.
  • Full HTTP API — media send, group ops, and the smart auto-retry queue.
  • Scheduled messages & batch queueing.
  • Stable named Cloudflare tunnel, unlimited webhooks & all 35 events.
  • Full local cache + auto-sync + unlimited search + history backfill.
  • Unattended operation — auto-start on boot and auto-reconnect your accounts on launch, so the server runs hands-off.
  • Priority support.

Pro. AI integrations are on the roadmap and will be included with Pro when they ship — you won’t pay extra when they arrive.

Hit a Free limit and the app explains exactly what Pro unlocks — no surprises.

Upgrade is instant — and lossless

Messages are stored on every tier, so upgrading is immediate with no re-sync, and downgrading never deletes your data (Free just limits the access surfaces). See Pricing explained for the full breakdown and FAQ.
