WAHA Community
June 21, 2026 in Releases by devlikeapro2 minutes

TL;DR: WAHA Plus features are now part of WAHA Core. 🎉
WAHA is free!
Starting from version 2026.6.1, every feature that used to need a Plus subscription ships in the free, public image.
Included but not limited to:
- Unlimited 🖥️ Sessions
- 📤 Send media messages
- 🗄️ Storages (PostgreSQL, MongoDB and S3)
- 🔒 Security (API key, Swagger auth)
- 🔍 Observability (health checks and metrics endpoints)
So you just need to use the default docker image like:
docker pull devlikeapro/wahaand enjoy full WAHA features!
👉🏻 We’ll keep publishing devlikeapro/waha-plus for a while so existing setups don’t break:
docker login -u devlikeapro -p {KEY}
docker pull devlikeapro/waha-plus
docker logoutMigration
If you run Docker Compose, edit the image: line and run docker compose up -d.
# before
image: devlikeapro/waha-plus
# after
image: devlikeapro/wahadocker compose up -dIf you’re using other commands like docker run, change the image name there
# before
docker run ... devlikeapro/waha-plus
# after
docker run ... devlikeapro/wahaWAHA Community
We dropped the Core / Plus / PRO tiers in Patreon and Boosty - you don’t need to subscribe anymore to get WAHA Plus features (now it’s all in WAHA Core)!
👉🏻 There’s a new Community tier - a symbolic $5/mo, just enough to keep the lights on. 👈🏻
We can not offer something extra in return - everything is FREE starting 2026.6.1 and available for everyone. This tier offers no perks, just a way to support the work.
It’s the COMMUNITY that made this project possible in the first place, and your contribution is what keeps it alive and growing 🌱 🫶🏻

Why we go this way
The project grew because the COMMUNITY supported it - and since we haven’t shipped anything significant in the last few months, we decided to share the work the community already paid for with everyone.
We’ll keep supporting, upgrading and developing new features - the project lives if you go to Patreon / Boosty / Crypto and support it with the new Community tier.
It’s a symbolic $5/mo, just enough to keep the lights on.
