We Cut Our Costs. Now We're Cutting Yours.
We've cut our Starter tier pricing by 40%. Existing customers get automatic credits.
TL;DR: Our servers got cheaper. Your subscription just did too.
The Backstory
You know that feeling when you find R50 in an old jacket pocket? Now imagine finding that every single month. That's basically what happened to us—except with servers.
Over the past few months, our engineering team has been on a mission. Not to add flashy features (okay, maybe a few). Not to redesign our logo (it's perfect, thanks). No, they've been doing the unglamorous but incredibly important work of optimizing our infrastructure.
The result? We've slashed our server costs by nearly 50%.
What Does This Mean For You?
We could have pocketed that savings. Bought a fancy espresso machine for the office. Maybe some bean bags. But that's not how we roll at CROOH.
We're passing those savings directly back to you.
We've simplified our pricing and dropped the cost per user:
| Team Size | Old Price | New Price | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 users | R5,000/mo | R3,000/mo | R2,000/mo |
| 10 users | R7,500/mo | R6,000/mo | R1,500/mo |
| 20 users | R14,000/mo | R12,000/mo | R2,000/mo |
New pricing: R600 per user per month. Simple.
No tiers. No confusing calculations. Just multiply your team size by R600.
What About Existing Customers?
Glad you asked.
If you've been with us on our previous pricing, we're crediting your account with the difference. No forms to fill out. No support tickets to raise. No hoops to jump through.
Just check your next invoice and enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling.
You believed in us early. This is our way of saying thank you.
How Did We Do It?
Without getting too technical (we'll save that for the engineering blog), here's the short version:
- Migrated to more efficient database infrastructure
- Optimized our file storage costs
- Did a lot of boring-but-important backend cleanup
The result is a leaner, faster CROOH that costs us less to run—and now costs you less to use.
The Bottom Line
We're in this for the long haul. Building tools that help South African service businesses thrive isn't just our job—it's our mission. And part of that mission is making sure CROOH is accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Smaller teams shouldn't have to choose between powerful software and paying their bills. Now they don't have to.
Welcome to the new CROOH pricing. Same great platform. More money in your pocket.
