Pricing

One-time setup. You keep 100% of every sale.

No percentage cut. No monthly fee for single or twin setups. You pay once to get started and keep everything your customers pay you. Network setups of 3+ routers carry a small flat monthly to cover extra support.

Mobile money charges from your customers (paid to MTN or Airtel) still apply — those are payment-provider costs, not a Hotpass fee.

Common questions

Questions we hear.

What happens after the 7-day guarantee?
Nothing. The one-time fee covers the setup and you keep using the system forever. There is no renewal, no hidden charges.
Do you take any percentage of my sales?
No. Zero percent. Every shilling your customers pay goes into your account. The only charges that apply are the ones MTN or Airtel levy on mobile money, and those go to them, not to us.
I already have a MikroTik. Do I buy a new one?
No. If you have a compatible MikroTik router already running, we connect it. You don't need to buy anything else.
I don't have a router yet. Can you get me one?
Yes. Tell us the space you want to cover and your budget, and we'll recommend the right MikroTik model — or source it for you and set it up with the system. The router is billed separately from the setup fee, so you always see what the hardware costs.
What if my internet goes down? Does the hotspot still work?
Yes. Login and payment happen on your local router, so customers can still see your login page and make purchases. You get an email alert as soon as we detect the router is down.
What if I want to add more routers later?
We connect them to the same account. Two routers stays at the Twin one-time price. Three or more moves to the Network tier at UGX 450K setup plus UGX 25K per month.
How do customers pay?
They join your Wi-Fi on their phone, pick a plan, and pay with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money. Once payment clears, they're online. You can also sell printed cash vouchers for walk-in customers.
What if I want to stop?
The router stays yours. You're not locked in. If you want to stop, just let us know on WhatsApp and there are no penalties or exit fees.
