Questions from South African businesses

Do you work with South African businesses?

Yes, in English, through your client portal and email. New York is 6 to 7 hours behind SAST, so your morning approvals are waiting for the team when New York starts work.

How much does it cost in South Africa?

Plans start at about R13,100 a month ($790 USD) for 10 hours. You're charged in US dollars through Stripe, and unused hours roll over to next month.

Do you charge local tax?

We're a US company and don't charge South African VAT. VAT-registered businesses may need to account for VAT on imported services; check with your accountant.

Is there a long contract?

No. Plans renew monthly and you can change or cancel from the Billing page in your client portal.

Is ad spend included?

No. Plan hours cover our team's work. Ad spend is paid straight to Google, Meta and the other platforms, and Google can bill it in ZAR.
