How each rate is counted
Both rates follow what your network earns and carries, so your Centipid bill moves with it.
Hotspot is 3% of what you collect
The fee follows the hotspot revenue Centipid confirms in a month. A quiet month costs less.
PPPoE is $0.25 per active subscriber
The fee counts only the subscribers who were active during the month. Suspended and expired accounts stay in the system for free.
Routers and staff are not metered
Every plan includes unlimited MikroTik routers, staff accounts and vouchers. Centipid does not charge per device, per seat or per site.
The 14-day trial comes first
Try it for 14 days with no card. If you stay, your first invoice covers those 14 days at the usual rates, never less than the $5 monthly minimum (KES 500 in Kenya). Leave within 14 days and you pay nothing.
Centipid invoices you, and you pay
Centipid does not bill you automatically:
- No card is kept on file.
- Nothing is taken on a schedule.
- Nothing is drawn from your Centipid wallet on Centipid’s own initiative.
The invoice arrives and you send the payment. Centipid’s automation works on your subscribers, not on you.
Each invoice covers the month just past, so you are never asked to pay before your network has earned the money. Every invoice includes a grace period. The Centipid team contacts you before anything about your access changes.
Ways to pay your Centipid invoice
M-PESA and mobile money
Pay in your own shillings from the same phone your network already collects on.
Your Centipid wallet
If you collect payments through Centipid, you can settle the invoice from the balance you already hold. You don’t need to withdraw it first.
PayPal and cards
This option suits operators paying in dollars or from outside the region. You send the payment each month, and Centipid does not keep your card.
Bank transfer
Send the payment from your business account, and Centipid reconciles it against your invoice.
