Pricing questions answered
Why do I have to join a waitlist instead of signing up right now?
We’re genuinely excited to get you into VulaLet — but for us to sleep at night, we want a bit more time to run our last few tests. We’re launching soon. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the moment it’s ready, before anyone else.
Is the free plan really free forever?
Yes. The free plan covers up to 2 properties (4 units total) at no cost, indefinitely. No credit card required to start, no trial period that expires. You only pay if you need more units or premium features.
How does annual billing work?
Annual billing is paid upfront for 12 months and is the equivalent of paying for 10 months — you get 2 months free. The effective monthly rates when billed annually are: Starter R249/mo, Pro R541/mo, Portfolio R4,166/mo.
What counts as a "unit"?
Any separately rented space — a flat, house, bachelor, garage, or commercial unit. A property can have multiple units (e.g., 4-unit block = 4 units). The free plan covers up to 2 properties regardless of unit count up to 4 total units.
Can I manage a Pty Ltd or Trust portfolio?
Yes, from the Pro plan. You can create multiple legal entities and assign properties to each. Income, expenses, and SARS statements are tracked and reported per entity separately.
What is a document bundle?
A document bundle (R750 each if purchased individually, or included on paid plans) covers one lease: the PDF lease, any addendums, OTP e-signature flow for both parties, and formal demand letters up to the pre-attorney stage. Bundles don't roll over year to year.
Can I add more units beyond my plan limit?
The Portfolio plan covers unlimited units at R4,999/month base. For units above 100, a surcharge of R7/unit/month applies. This is designed for large managing agents and portfolio companies.
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. All your data is preserved regardless of plan.
What are credits, and do I need them on a paid plan?
No — Starter, Pro, and Portfolio never spend credits; automation is simply included. Credits are a Free-plan option: instead of upgrading, you can buy a top-up and pay per action for things like WhatsApp follow-ups, bank statement parsing, or a full inspection. Credits never expire.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data is retained for 90 days after cancellation. During that window you can export everything or reactivate. After 90 days, data is deleted in accordance with our POPIA retention policy.
