A worked example
Example: 800 active contacts, billed monthly
- Essential: 17 for the plan plus 550 extra contacts at 0.10 each, so about 72.
- Pro: 39, which already includes 2,500 contacts.
- At this size the higher plan is the cheaper one.

How Manychat's new pricing works
According to Manychat's help articles, the new Free plan covers 25 Active Contacts a month. Essential includes 250 Active Contacts, and Pro includes 2,500. Contacts beyond the included amount are billed per additional active contact, and the rate differs between monthly and annual billing.
An active contact is counted once in a billing cycle, not once per DM. Read Manychat's own explanation of Active Contacts before relying on any estimate.
What this calculator does and does not do
It applies the documented plan prices and overage rates to the contact number you enter and shows the cheaper of Essential and Pro. It does not know your region, your plan generation or any offer shown in your account.
Manychat has had more than one billing generation, and its pricing page and help articles have shown different offers. Treat the result as an estimate and confirm the amount in your own account. Prices were last reviewed on 2026-10-10.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Estimating from messages sent. Manychat counts active contacts, not messages.
- Assuming your plan matches the table. Older accounts can be on legacy pricing.
- Ignoring growth. A viral post can raise your active contacts that month.
- Comparing only the price. Check which features each plan includes before switching.
