Gallabox pricing in the UAE (2026) — and a 0% markup alternative
Gallabox is a capable, AED-native WhatsApp Business platform. If you're pricing it up for the UAE, here's what the plans cost, whether there's a free option, how the message charges work, and a done-for-you, 0%-markup alternative for brands that would rather not run the dashboard themselves.
Short version. Gallabox's main UAE plans run roughly AED 330 / 730 / 1,390 per month (approximate — verify on Gallabox's site, as pricing changes), plus Meta's per-message rate, which Gallabox largely passes through at cost. There's a free trial but no permanent free plan, and it's a self-serve dashboard you operate. If you'd rather have the whole channel run for you at 0% message markup, Adjoltz is a managed alternative from AED 199/mo, billed in AED, in Arabic and English.
What Gallabox is
Gallabox is an all-in-one WhatsApp Business platform built on Meta's official WhatsApp Business API. It bundles the pieces most brands need into one dashboard: broadcasts, chatbots and no-code flows, a shared team inbox, a light CRM, a product catalog, and Click-to-WhatsApp ad routing, with delivery and campaign analytics on top. It prices natively in AED, which makes it a natural fit for UAE and wider GCC businesses that don't want to think in dollars or wrestle with currency conversion on every invoice.
Because it sits on Meta's official API, Gallabox is a legitimate, policy-compliant way to run WhatsApp at scale — not a grey-route blaster. The trade-off, as with any suite of this kind, is that it's a tool you log into and operate yourself. That's ideal if you have someone to own the channel, and more of a workload if you don't.
Gallabox pricing in the UAE
Gallabox is sold as tiered monthly subscriptions, priced in AED. As a rough guide, the three main plans land around:
| Plan | Approx. price | Roughly includes |
|---|---|---|
| Growth | ~AED 330/mo | Core inbox, broadcasts, basic chatbots, a starter set of agent seats |
| Pro | ~AED 730/mo | More seats, richer automations and flows, additional integrations and reporting |
| Enterprise | ~AED 1,390/mo | Highest seat and automation limits, advanced controls, plus a small message-cost discount |
Prices are approximate and change over time — always verify current pricing on Gallabox's own site before you buy. Tier names and inclusions can differ from the summary above.
Two things are worth flagging on cost. First, the subscription is only part of the bill: on top of it you pay Meta's per-conversation message rate, which Gallabox largely passes through at cost (with a small discount reserved for the Enterprise tier). Second, in the UAE those message rates are relatively high — marketing conversations run meaningfully more than in cheaper markets — so at real broadcast volume the message spend often dwarfs the subscription. When you compare providers, the markup on messages usually matters more to your total cost than the headline plan price.
Is Gallabox free? Free trial vs free plan
Gallabox offers a free trial so you can set up the platform and try broadcasts, flows and the inbox before committing. What it doesn't offer is a permanent free plan — once the trial period ends, you move onto a paid tier starting around AED 330/month.
There's also a detail that trips people up: even during a free trial, the message charges aren't free. Meta bills per conversation for WhatsApp Business API messages, and no platform — Gallabox or anyone else — can waive Meta's own rate. So "free" here means free platform access for a limited window, not free messaging. Budget for Meta's per-conversation cost from day one, on top of whichever plan you land on.
How Gallabox works
Gallabox is a self-serve dashboard. You connect your WhatsApp Business number, then you build the templates, design the chatbot flows, segment your audience, schedule the broadcasts and read the analytics — all yourself, from the web app. Everything runs through Meta's official Cloud API in the background, so it's compliant and reliable, but the day-to-day operating work sits with your team.
For a brand with a dedicated marketer or a CRM owner, that's exactly what you want: full control, hands on the wheel. For a founder-led or lean team, it's a genuine time commitment — and a WhatsApp tool that nobody has time to actually run doesn't generate revenue. That gap between "we bought the tool" and "the tool is driving sales" is where a lot of UAE brands start looking at their options differently.
Where UAE brands look elsewhere
When brands price Gallabox and then shop around, it's usually for one of two reasons. The first is entry price: an ~AED 330/month floor is more than some businesses want to commit for a first WhatsApp channel, before they've proven it out. The second, and the bigger one, is the self-serve workload — the realisation that buying the software is the easy part, and that someone still has to write the campaigns, build the flows and run the broadcasts week after week.
Neither is a knock on Gallabox. It's a capable, AED-native, official-API platform, and for a team that wants to operate its own dashboard it's a perfectly good choice. But if what you actually want is a lower starting price or, more often, someone to do the work for you, that points toward a different shape of provider.
Adjoltz — the done-for-you, 0% markup alternative
Adjoltz is a Dubai-based (JVC) managed service that runs your whole WhatsApp channel on Meta's official Cloud API: broadcasts, chatbots and flows, a shared team inbox, light CRM, catalog, Click-to-WhatsApp ad routing, and delivery and campaign analytics. The same building blocks Gallabox gives you — but Adjoltz operates them for you rather than handing you a dashboard to run.
On cost, Adjoltz passes Meta's per-message rate through at a flat 0% markup on every plan — and because Meta bills you for messages directly, that 0% is verifiable on your own Meta invoice, not a number you have to take on trust. It bills in AED, works natively in Arabic and English, and plans start from AED 199/month (AED 199 / 499 / 899), where the tier sets the level of service, not your message volume. You keep your own WhatsApp number and WABA, so there's no lock-in.
One honest caveat: Adjoltz is new — it launched in 2026, so it doesn't carry the install base or the years of third-party reviews that an established suite like Gallabox has. What makes it low-risk to try is that billing is month-to-month, you own your number and data, and the things that matter most are independently checkable — it's Meta's official API, and the 0% markup shows up on a bill Meta sends you directly.
Adjoltz does what Gallabox does — broadcasts, bots, inbox, CRM, catalog, Click-to-WhatsApp, analytics — but runs it for you, at 0% message markup, billed in AED, from AED 199/month.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Gallabox cost?
Gallabox is AED-native, with three main plans that run roughly AED 330, AED 730 and AED 1,390 per month (approximate — verify on Gallabox's site, as pricing changes). Higher tiers add more agent seats, chatbots, automations and integrations. On top of the subscription you also pay Meta's per-conversation message rate, which Gallabox largely passes through at cost, with a small discount only on the Enterprise tier.
Is Gallabox free?
Gallabox offers a free trial so you can test the platform, but it does not have a permanent free plan — once the trial ends you move onto a paid tier starting around AED 330/month. And whether you're on a trial or a paid plan, Meta's per-conversation message charges still apply, because those are billed by Meta and not something any provider gives away for free.
Does Gallabox work in the UAE?
Yes. Gallabox runs on Meta's official WhatsApp Business API and prices natively in AED, so it works well for UAE brands. If you'd rather not operate the dashboard yourself, a managed alternative like Adjoltz runs the same official-API channel for you, in AED and in Arabic and English, from AED 199/month.
What is the best Gallabox alternative in the UAE?
If you want the channel run for you rather than operating a dashboard, Adjoltz is a strong Gallabox alternative — it runs Meta's official WhatsApp Business API done-for-you, passes Meta's per-message rate through at 0% markup, bills in AED, works natively in Arabic and English, and starts from AED 199/month. Gallabox remains a capable self-serve suite if you prefer to run it yourself.
Does Gallabox add markup on messages?
Largely no — Gallabox is mostly passthrough on message cost, meaning it charges you close to Meta's per-conversation rate with a small discount only on the Enterprise tier. That's one of its better attributes. Adjoltz takes the same approach with a flat 0% markup on every plan, and because Meta bills you for messages directly, that 0% is checkable on your own Meta invoice.
