Plans and Billing

SabiBooks has a free plan that covers the basics, plus paid plans that unlock more room to grow and extra features. This page explains what each plan includes, how monthly and yearly billing work, and how to manage your subscription from inside the app.

Tip

The Plans screen inside the app always shows the current, up-to-date comparison and prices. Open it from Subscription in the menu, then tap “View plans” / “Change plan”. This page is a guide. The in-app screen is the source of truth.

The Plans

SabiBooks has four plans. Prices are shown inside the app: open Subscription → View plans to see the current monthly and yearly price for each one.

Plan	Best for
Free	Trying SabiBooks and running a small shop
Starter	A growing shop that has outgrown the Free limits
Business	Businesses with multiple staff and branches
Pro	Larger businesses that want everything, plus API access and priority support

All plans include the core of SabiBooks: recording sales at the POS, managing your products and stock, and sharing receipts.

What the Free Plan Includes

The Free plan is genuinely useful on its own. It includes these allowances:

What	Free plan limit
Products	Up to 100
Customers	Up to 100
Staff accounts	1 (just you)
Sales	Up to 50 per month
Expense records	Up to 20 in total
Receipts	Include a small “Powered by SabiBooks” footer
Loan Readiness Pack	Pay once per pack (it is included free on Business and Pro)

Note

You never lose data when you reach a limit. If you hit a Free-plan allowance, for example your 50th sale in a month, SabiBooks shows an upgrade prompt. You cannot add new records past that limit until you upgrade, but everything you have already recorded stays exactly where it is and the rest of the app keeps working.

What Paid Plans Unlock

Upgrading raises your allowances (more products, customers, staff, branches, and sales) and unlocks extra features:

Higher limits

Starter, Business, and Pro raise or remove the Free caps on products, customers, staff, sales, and expenses.

Clean receipts

Business and Pro remove the “Powered by SabiBooks” footer from your receipts (white-label).

Loan Pack included

On Business and Pro, the Loan Readiness Pack is included, with no per-pack payment.

Top Services report

Business and Pro unlock the Top Services report for service-based revenue.

Multiple branches

Business and Pro let you run more than one branch under the same business.

API access and priority support

Pro adds direct API access for integrations and a priority support channel.

Tip

Plans and what each one includes can change over time. Always check the Plans screen in the app for the live comparison before deciding to upgrade.

Monthly or Yearly

Every paid plan can be billed monthly or yearly. Yearly costs the same as 10 months, so you get 2 months free. The Free plan has no yearly option.

You choose the billing period on the Plans screen: open Subscription, tap “View plans”, then pick Monthly or Yearly at the top. The price under each plan updates to match.

Changing Your Plan or Billing Period

Change	Takes effect	What you pay
Move to a higher plan	At once	The full price of the new plan. The days left on your old term are added to the new term as extra days
Switch from monthly to yearly	At once	The full yearly price. The days left on your current month are added to the new term
Move to a lower paid plan	When your current term ends	Nothing now. The new plan is charged at your next renewal
Switch from yearly back to monthly	When your current term ends	Nothing now. The monthly price is charged at your next renewal
Move to Free	When your current term ends	Nothing. Renewal is turned off and your paid plan stays until the term ends

Note

No refunds for unused time. When you move up, the value of the days you have not used yet becomes extra days on the new plan.

Managing Your Subscription

You manage everything from the Subscription area (visible to the business owner).

1. Open Subscription

   Tap “Subscription” in the menu. You will see your current plan, whether it is billed monthly or yearly, your usage, and your renewal date.

2. Change your plan

   Tap “View plans” (or “Change plan”) to open the side-by-side comparison. Choose Monthly or Yearly at the top, pick a plan and follow the prompts to pay with Paystack (card or transfer).

3. View billing history

   From the Subscription page, open “Billing history” to see your past invoices. Tap any invoice to view or download it.

4. Manage payment methods

   Open “Payment methods” to add, replace or remove the card used for renewals.

Caution

Downgrading to a plan with lower limits is allowed, but if your current data is above the new plan’s allowance (for example, more than 100 products), SabiBooks will warn you first. Your existing records are kept. You just will not be able to add more until you are back under the limit or upgrade again.

Renewal Notices

Your plan renews by itself at the end of each term, charged to the card you saved. You always hear from us before that happens. On a yearly plan you get an email 30 days before, 7 days before and the day before the renewal date. On a monthly plan you get one email, the day before.

Each email states the amount, the renewal date and the card we will charge (the card type and its last four digits), or tells you that no card is saved. If you have scheduled a change for the end of your term, the email names the plan and price that will apply instead. If your saved card expires before the renewal date, the email warns you, and you can add a new card under Payment methods before the charge.

Changed your mind after turning renewal off? Open Subscription and tap “Turn auto-renew back on” at any time before your term ends. Nothing is charged until the renewal date shown on the page.

Turning Renewal Off

Open Subscription and tap “Turn off auto-renew”. Nothing more is charged. You keep your plan until the end of the term you paid for. On the morning after that date your account moves to the Free plan by itself and we email you to confirm it, so you are never left guessing whether the change went through. You can subscribe again from the Plans screen whenever you like.

If No Card Is Saved

Without a saved card, SabiBooks cannot charge you, so on the renewal date we email you an invoice for the next term instead. Open it from Billing history and tap “Pay Now”. You can pay with a card you add under Payment methods, or choose a different method and pay through Paystack by card, bank transfer or USSD.

Complimentary Plans

Sometimes SabiBooks gives a business a paid plan for a while at no cost, usually to make up for a problem on our side. When that happens your Subscription screen says so, in plain words: “Complimentary Business until 23 Oct 2026, then you move to Free.”

Nothing is charged for a complimentary plan, before or after. On the morning after the last day it ends by itself, you move to the plan named on the card, and we email and text you to say it has ended and that nothing was charged. Everything you recorded while you were on it stays exactly where it is.

If you want to keep the features, subscribe from the Plans screen before the date, or any time after.

Where Your Card Details Live

Your card details are held by Paystack, our payment provider, not by SabiBooks. SabiBooks keeps only a payment token, the card type, the last four digits and the expiry date, which is what you see under Payment methods. When you remove a card in the app, it stops being used at once, and we also ask Paystack to revoke the token so it can never be charged again.
