Questions about pricing

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Ask us directly, and a person will answer.

How does the free trial work?

Your first business gets 30 days with every feature in Pro, with no card needed. We email you 7 days, 3 days and 1 day before it ends. Choose a plan whenever you’re ready; if you don’t, the business pauses until you do, and nothing you entered is lost.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from the business’s billing settings, with no phone calls and no fees. Cancel during the trial and nothing is ever charged. Cancel a paid plan and it stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

I have more than one business. How am I charged?

Each business has its own plan, so a quiet business can be on Starter while a busy one is on Pro. The free month is for your first business; any business you add after that starts as soon as you choose its plan. You can pay for all of them with the same card.

How does accountant pricing work?

An accountant can serve one client business on the free practice plan. Accountants who work with more clients choose an Accountant or Firm plan. Each client business has its own plan.

Which currency will I be charged in?

Prices are shown in US dollars so they’re easy to compare wherever you are. Payment is taken in South African rand through Paystack, at the rand price shown under each plan. Your books can be in any currency, and you can invoice in several.

Can I change plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades start straight away and you only ever pay for one plan per business.

What does paying annually save?

An annual plan costs ten times the monthly price, so you get two months free.

Do I need to pay for a separate till or stock system?

No. The till, stock tracking and stock counts are included on every plan, from Starter, and the till keeps selling when your connection drops. Any phone, tablet or computer will do.

What isn’t included in the plan price?

Payment gateway fees are charged by the gateway (Paystack, PayFast, Ozow or Paynow) directly to you. Extra SMS bundles beyond your monthly allowance are bought separately in your settings.

Give your business the back office it deserves.

Try every feature free for 30 days. No card, no contract, and your data is always yours to export.
