Why teams choose Omni Field

Paystack takes card and bank payments from a link on the invoice, with payouts in 2 to 3 days and a 1% transaction charge, which is how customers in these markets already pay.
Customer updates go out by email and WhatsApp, so a job confirmation lands where the customer actually reads it.
The Free plan is R0 and PaYu is R149 per month plus R149 per technician seat, VAT included, which suits a tradesperson adding a first apprentice.
A tenant website builder is included on every paid plan from PaYu upward, so the business gets a searchable web presence without a second subscription.
