What is the Wapito Sandbox plan?

In more depth

The point of a sandbox is that nothing about it is a mock. The number is real, the session is real, the webhooks are real, and every endpoint behaves exactly as it will in production - which means an integration built against Sandbox needs no changes beyond the token when it moves to a paid channel. What differs is the size of the tap. A handful of active conversations, a few hundred messages a day, a small daily allowance of number checks and a monthly request budget are enough to build a bot, wire up a CRM and demonstrate a workflow to a client, and nowhere near enough to run a campaign. When a call crosses one of those lines the API answers with an explicit status and a link to upgrade, rather than silently dropping the message. Sandbox also enforces stricter anti-ban defaults, including a minimum send spacing and automatic typing simulation when sends come too fast, because the numbers most likely to be banned are the new ones being tested.

In the Wapito API

On the wire it is the field plan:

{
  "plan": "sandbox",
  "quota": "messages_daily",
  "used": 143,
  "resets_at": "2026-09-16T00:00:00Z"
}

On the official Cloud API

Meta offers a test number with a small allowance of free messages for development, but it cannot be used to message arbitrary recipients and it is not the same number you eventually go live with.
