How it works Ways to book Pricing For riders Developers Get started

One fee per delivery, shown before you confirm

No subscription, no joining fee, no minimum volume. You pay for deliveries you send, and the price depends on just two things: how far it goes, and how fast you need it.

Pay for the speed you actually need

The same riders and the same tracking either way. The only question is whether it has to be there today.

What that comes to

Distance Next day Same day
8 km GH₵ 35.00 GH₵ 50.00
20 km GH₵ 35.00 GH₵ 50.00

45 km GH₵ 108.75 GH₵ 155.00

Rates beyond the included distance are charged per kilometre, so a long run never jumps in price the moment you cross a line. Work out your own route in the estimator below.

How the fee is worked out

The base fee covers the first 20km. Most runs inside Accra never leave that band, which is why most deliveries cost exactly the base fee and nothing more.

Past 20km you are charged per kilometre, and past 35km the per-kilometre rate drops. Long runs get proportionally cheaper rather than more punishing, and because it is charged per kilometre there is no cliff edge where one extra street doubles the price.

Portion of the trip Next day Same day
First 20km GH₵ 35.00 base fee GH₵ 50.00 base fee
20km to 35km GH₵ 3.75 per km GH₵ 5.00 per km
Beyond 35km GH₵ 1.75 per km GH₵ 3.00 per km

A worked example

A 30km same-day run: GH₵ 50.00 for the first 20km, plus 10km at GH₵ 5.00 — a total of GH₵ 100.00. The same run next-day comes to GH₵ 72.50.

The price you see is the price you pay. The fee is calculated and shown to you before the delivery is offered to any rider. There is no surge multiplier applied afterwards and no adjustment once it has been delivered.

What isn’t charged

  • No monthly or annual platform fee.
  • No charge for cancelling before the rider collects.
  • No charge for a delivery no rider accepted.
  • No separate fee for API access, webhooks, WhatsApp, or Telegram — every channel is included.
