Pay for the work. Nothing else.
Prepaid credit in Rand that never expires. No subscriptions, no API keys, no seats. Deploy any agent for free and pay only for the work it does, metered to the cent and posted to your Balance within the hour.
How it works
One balance. Every agent draws from it.
Your balance is in Rand and never expires. What a Rand of work buys is set monthly against the exchange rate and shown on the Balance tab.
There is nothing to subscribe to. You top up a balance, your agents run against it, and every scheduled run and every reply draws a few Rand. The Balance tab on the portal shows what each day cost, how many days remain at your current pace, and every top-up you have made.
When the balance gets low, the agents tell you in your chat. At zero they pause and wait; the moment you top up they carry on where they left off. No debt, no surprise invoice.
R500 · R150
Free credit to start
Every new account opens with credit already on it: R500 for a business, R150 for a household. Enough to see the agents work before you spend a cent. A R5 card check at sign-up keeps a card on file for top-ups, and even that R5 lands on your balance.
R0 to deploy
Agents are free to deploy
Add one agent or nine. There is no charge for having an agent, only for the work it does. Pause one and it costs nothing.
Metered to the cent
You see the pace
Every run is metered to the cent and posted to your Balance tab within the hour, one line per day. Usage by day, top-ups, bonus credit and days left, all in one place.
Never expires
Your credit stays yours
Your balance is in Rand and it does not lapse. Next month, next year, it is still there.
What the work costs
What a month typically costs, per agent.
We do not price per token or per message. Here is what an agent typically costs you a month.
These are the ranges we see at the volumes a small or medium business runs at. A heavy month costs more, a quiet month costs less, and the Balance page always shows your actual pace so there is never a guess.
Core business agents
Do the real work
R1 000–R3 000a month, each, depending on volume

About a third of a bookkeeper.
A core agent such as Accounts Payable typically runs R1 000 to R3 000 a month. Monthly bookkeeping costs R2 100 to R5 500, and the agent checks every invoice, every day, and works every day.
A tenth of a junior administrator.
All three routine agents together typically cost under R900 a month. A junior administrator costs R8 000 to R15 000 a month before you have trained them.
Less than a streaming subscription.
Three personal agents for a household, the ledger, the groceries and the health file, typically run R150 to R300 a month between them.
Typical means typical. An Accounts Payable agent for a business with four hundred supplier invoices a month will cost more than one with forty; a Compliance Clock in a quiet month costs almost nothing. The portal shows you, in Rand, what each day cost.
Top up
Packs from R200. Bigger packs carry bonus credit.
| Pack | Bonus credit | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| R200 | none | R200 |
| R500 | none | R500 |
| R1 000 | +5% | R1 050 |
| R2 500 | +10% | R2 750 |
| R10 000 | +15% | R11 500 |
The minimum top-up is R200, and you can top up any amount above that. Pay by card or instant EFT through Paystack and the credit lands at once, or pay by manual EFT and we credit it the same business day we see it.
If you would rather not think about it, save a card and switch on automatic top-up: when the balance falls below a level you set, the portal tops it up by an amount you set. Optional, and you can switch it off or remove the card at any time.
Managed Onboarding
Self-serve is free. If you would rather we did it, R7 500 once.
We connect your systems, tune the agents, train your approver and build one custom skill for you.
Most customers set up their own agents in about ten minutes. Managed Onboarding is for the business that wants it done with them: a MshenguX engineer connects your ledger and your mailbox, tunes each agent's settings to how you actually work, trains the person who will approve, and builds one custom skill for a process that is yours alone.
R7 500, once. Ask for it under Connections in the portal after you sign up, or email [email protected] with your reference.
Above self-serve
When you need more than starter agents.
| Engagement | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Readiness sprint | One process mapped end to end, one agent scoped, the running cost modelled, the governance and data questions answered. A clear go or no-go in two weeks. | R85 000–R120 000 |
| Production sprint | The agent built inside your systems against real cases, put into production with its limits, log and cost dashboard, handed over with a run-book. Six to eight weeks. | R280 000–R450 000 |
| Embedded engineer | A forward-deployed engineer inside your team, shipping and operating the next agents with your people. Three-month minimum. | R150 000–R220 000 a month |
Fixed scope, fixed fee. How an engagement runs.
Questions
The short answers.
Does credit expire?
No. Never. Your balance is in Rand and it stays on your account until you use it.
What happens if I run out?
At R100 the agents tell you in your chat that the balance is low. At zero they pause, say so in the chat, and resume the moment you top up, picking up where they left off. Nothing is lost and nothing is owed.
Can I cap what I spend?
Yes. The hold at zero is the cap: no credit, no spend, no debt, ever. Per-agent daily caps, so a single busy agent cannot run down the balance on its own, are coming.
Is VAT included?
Yes. Every price on this page includes VAT at 15%. Your top-up receipts show it.
Can I get a refund?
Unused credit is refundable on request within 14 days of purchase: email [email protected] with your reference. After that it does not expire; it stays yours for as long as you like.
Do I need a card to start?
A R5 card check at sign-up, credited straight back to you. Nothing else is charged unless you choose to top up, by card, instant EFT or manual EFT.
All prices include VAT. Built on Claude.
