AutoSlip - Pricing & Investment Options

Product: AutoSlip (WhatsApp Receipt Automation) Target Market: Construction, Restaurants, Retail, SMEs, Freelancers Version: 1.0 Last Updated: January 2025

🎯 PRICING PHILOSOPHY

AutoSlip uses simple, transparent pricing with no hidden fees or per-user costs. Pricing is based on receipt volume only - because we believe software should be affordable and predictable.

Why volume-based pricing:

✅ One user or ten users = same price (encourage team adoption)
✅ Predictable monthly cost (no surprise bills)
✅ Scale as you grow (start small, upgrade when needed)
✅ No contracts (cancel anytime)

Core Value Prop: Save 2-3 hours/month on receipt admin for R150-R400/month = 400-800% ROI
