Free, Pay As You Go & Team: which plan fits?

Start free—upgrade when the limits bite, not before. Free and Pay As You Go both include owner + 1 Cashier and F-Biz Market listing. On PAYG, buy credits, pay per transaction, and unlock unlimited recording for the month once you hit the KES 500 spend cap. Need Managers, more gadgets, or branches? Team at KES 1,000.
