Question 1

How does wavalid's pricing work?

Accepted Answer

wavalid is credit-based, not a subscription. You buy a credit pack once, and 1 credit is deducted per phone number that completes a validation check. There's no monthly fee and no minimum purchase.

Question 2

How much does it cost to validate a WhatsApp number?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the pack: the 1,000-credit Starter pack works out to about $0.005 per check, while the Basic, Plus, and Pro packs (5,000 credits and up) all work out to about $0.004 per check.

Question 3

Do wavalid credits expire?

Accepted Answer

No. Purchased credits never expire, regardless of pack size or how long they sit unused.

Question 4

Am I charged if a WhatsApp number check fails?

Accepted Answer

No. A credit is only deducted when a check completes successfully. Failed or errored checks aren't charged.

Question 5

Do all wavalid pricing plans include API and MCP access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every credit pack, including the smallest, includes full REST API access, MCP server access, bulk CSV upload, and the Chrome extension. Higher tiers (Basic and up) add priority support.

Question 6

Can I get a refund on unused wavalid credits?

Accepted Answer

No, credit pack purchases are final and non-refundable once bought, even if unused, since there's no subscription to cancel. The only exception is a billing error, like a duplicate charge, which support will correct.

Question 7

What payment methods does wavalid accept?

Accepted Answer

Purchases are processed through Polar (polar.sh), which supports major credit and debit cards.

Question 8

Is there a free plan or free trial for wavalid?

Accepted Answer

No. wavalid doesn't offer a free tier or trial credits; every credit pack is a paid, one-time purchase.

Question 9

What if I need more than 40,000 credits at once?

Accepted Answer

Contact wavalid about an Enterprise plan for higher volume or custom billing terms beyond the largest published credit pack.

Pay only for the checks you run.
