Gallabox is billed on a subscription model — you pay for your plan monthly or annually. All plans include unlimited conversations (WhatsApp messages are charged per message by category), AI credits (varying by plan), and access to the features included in your plan.
Plan Overview
If you signed up earlier, you may be on a legacy plan (Starter, Team, Growth, or Scale). These are grandfathered — no longer sold, but they remain active for existing customers. Contact support to check your plan details or migrate to a current plan.
Billing Cycle
Gallabox bills you on a monthly or annual cycle:- Monthly billing: Charged on the same date each month (e.g., June 5 → July 5)
- Annual billing: Charged once per year (e.g., June 5, 2026 → June 5, 2027) — typically includes a discount vs monthly
- Access to all features in your plan
- Unlimited team members (all plans)
- Unlimited conversations processed (you pay per message by category, separate from plan fee)
- AI credits (varying by plan)
- Support (email, chat — priority for Advanced)
- Meta’s per-message WhatsApp charges (based on template category — Marketing, Utility, or Authentication) — deducted from your prepaid Message Credits wallet, not billed as a separate invoice line
- AI credit top-ups (if you exceed your monthly allocation)

FAQs
Can I switch from monthly to annual billing?
Can I switch from monthly to annual billing?
Yes — go to Settings → Billing → Change Billing Cycle → select Annual. You’ll see the annual price (typically discounted vs 12 × monthly) and be charged upfront for the year. The change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
What happens to my bot flows when I downgrade?
What happens to my bot flows when I downgrade?
Bot flows continue to work through the end of your billing period. After that, flows using nodes exclusive to the higher plan (e.g., API Call on Essential) will stop executing — the flow will error at that node. Before downgrading, review your flows and replace higher-plan nodes with equivalent lower-plan alternatives, or remove them.
I was charged the wrong amount — what do I do?
I was charged the wrong amount — what do I do?
First, check your invoice breakdown in Settings → Billing → Invoices — it itemizes plan fee, WhatsApp message charges, and AI credits separately, which often explains an unexpected total. If it still looks wrong, contact Gallabox support with your invoice number and an explanation of the discrepancy. We investigate and issue refunds for incorrect charges within 5-7 business days.
Can I get a refund if I don't use Gallabox?
Can I get a refund if I don't use Gallabox?
Monthly plans are non-refundable once charged. Annual plans may be eligible for a prorated refund if you cancel early — contact support. If you believe there’s a billing error, contact support for a full investigation.
