A WhatsApp-Specific Sizing Note
WhatsApp bots built on whatsapp-web.js run a real headless Chromium browser under the hood (that's how the library talks to WhatsApp Web) — this is meaningfully heavier on RAM than a plain script, even before your own bot logic runs. If you're on that library specifically, lean one tier up from what a Telegram/Discord bot doing the same job would need. Baileys, by contrast, doesn't need a browser at all and is much lighter — see our library comparison for the full trade-off.
Picking One
- Micro: a small personal automation — auto-replies, a simple notification bot for yourself or a small group.
- Mini: a bot handling moderate traffic, maybe a lightweight Baileys-based bot with some real logic and database use.
- Standard: a whatsapp-web.js bot (the Chromium overhead genuinely wants this much room), or a Baileys bot doing substantially more — multiple integrations, higher message volume, several linked chats.
- Trader: a trading alert/execution bot — enough RAM and CPU to run real-time market monitoring and push trade signals or confirmations to WhatsApp without lag, plus the database headroom to log everything properly.
- Elite Trader: running trading logic plus a heavier WhatsApp automation layer (whatsapp-web.js's Chromium overhead) together, multiple linked numbers/strategies, or just wanting serious headroom during volatile markets.
The Honest Advice
Start conservatively if you're unsure, but check real memory usage once your bot is actually running under load before assuming it's fine — a whatsapp-web.js bot especially can look fine at idle and then struggle once a real Chromium instance is doing real work. Upgrading later is a quick, prorated change, not a redeploy from scratch.
