Usage
Accounting of paid and free messages, broken down by period, channel and source.
Reports → Usage shows accounting of paid and free messages. This view isn't available in the built-in reports.
Paid and free
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| Paid | Messages sent by you — from the chat, via New message or from a mass-messaging campaign — and accepted by the messenger. |
| Free | Messages the account owner typed on their own phone. |
Only actual sends are counted: failed sends are never counted.
How to read it
- Period — last 7 / 30 / 90 days, or this month.
- Group by — day, month, channel, source or campaign.
Send sources: "Dashboard", "Mass messaging" and "From phone" (the last one being the owner's free messages).
Below is the breakdown (Total / Paid / Free) by the chosen grouping.
Only Lalexi channels (personal accounts and bots) are counted. Messages on standard inboxes — WhatsApp Business, a Telegram bot, the website chat — are not here: the platforms themselves charge for those.
For now this is accounting only — pricing and invoicing come later. How many paid messages are left before the month's cap is shown under Reports → Limits.
