Total Cost Estimate for a Hotel in South Africa

A typical hotel in South Africa with 500 active customers would spend approximately:

  • Platform fee: $29–$99/month (depending on plan)
  • WhatsApp conversation fees: ~$5–$20/month (at $0.01 per conversation)
  • Total: $34–$119/month

With 38% fewer cancellations and 28% higher upsell revenue typically delivered, the ROI becomes positive within the first month for most hotels.

ROI Calculator for Hotels

Here's how to calculate your expected ROI from WhatsApp Marketing Platform:

  1. Take your average customer transaction value
  2. Estimate how many additional visits/bookings per month the automation will generate (typically 15–30% of your contact list)
  3. Multiply by your transaction value to get monthly additional revenue
  4. Subtract the platform cost to get net ROI

Example: A hotel with 500 customers, $50 average transaction, recovering 15% of dormant customers = 75 transactions × $50 = $3,750 additional monthly revenue, minus $99/month platform cost = $3,651 net profit per month.
