Pricing
Pay only when you sell
No plans, no tiers, no monthly fee. Polele runs on credits: every action costs a fraction of a cent, so small businesses pay little and growing ones never hit a paywall.

Top up when you need to
Buy credit packs from your Polele balance in your local currency. Credits never expire.
Two simple rules
A sale is never blocked
Recording payments and logins keep working even at zero credits. Your balance can go slightly negative and the next top-up settles it.
Messages pause at zero
WhatsApp messages, emails and exports need credits. When you run out, they pause until you top up — no surprise bills.
