With only 32 engineers, one WhatsApp developer supports 14 million active users, a ratio unheard of in the industry. 450, 32,1&0 Jan keeps a note from Brian taped to his desk that reads "No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks!" It serves as a daily reminder of their commitment to stay focused on building a pure messaging experience. This discipline is reflected in WhatsApp's unconventional approach to business. After one year of free use, the service costs $1 per year - No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks! with no SMS charges. This can save users trapped in expensive data plans up to $150 per year. $1r.. $150, It's easy to take this novel model for granted. When we first partnered with WhatsApp in January 2011, it had more than a dozen direct competitors, and all were supported by advertising. (In Botswana alone there were 16 social messaging apps). Facebook has assured Jan and Brian that WhatsApp will remain ad free and they will not have to compromise on their principles. We know that Jan, as a new member of Facebook's board, will continue to champion the rights of WhatsApp users. 450, 32, 1 &O There may be no greater testament to the viral nature of WhatsApp than the fact that the company has accomplished all this without investing a penny in marketing. Unlike their smaller competitors, it hasn't spent anything on user acquisition. The company doesn't even employ a marketer or PR person. Yet like the world's greatest brands, it's created a strong emotional connection with consumers. All of WhatsApp's growth has come from happy customers encouraging their friends to try the service.
