# LoginWA > Managed unofficial WhatsApp API gateway for OTP, notifications, light blast, and chatbot. No VPS: you get an API key and dashboard instead of babysitting Baileys or WhatsApp Web sessions. Free tier available; paid plans start from $1. Always check https://loginwa.com/pricing for current numbers. Not Meta Cloud / official WABA. LoginWA is an unofficial WhatsApp API (QR-linked device), honest about that: useful for OTP and developer integrations when you do not want to self-host Baileys, but not a substitute for official WhatsApp Business API when compliance requires it. ## Primary pages - [Pricing](https://loginwa.com/pricing): Current plans, quotas, and limits.
