CommsCloud Pricing Explained: Transparent. Scalable. Built for Africa.

Simple and Tranparent

No Surprises. No Lock-Ins. Just Real Value.

We believe our CommsCloud Pricing Model should ensure uptime doesn’t come with uncertainty. That’s why our pricing model is built around transparency, predictability, and control — giving you real cost visibility without the hidden shocks of roaming or blackouts.

Whether you’re connecting dashcams across five borders, smart meters in rural networks, or push-to-talk radios in high-risk operations, our plans are designed to fit how Africa really connects — dynamic, data-driven, and resilient.

CommsCloud Pricing Philosophy

1. Value Built Around You

We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” plans. Every deployment — from a 50-device fleet to a 10,000-unit rollout — has its own data rhythm.
That’s why we tailor every quote around your use case, geography, and data pattern, not arbitrary tiers.

  • Low-Data IoT (Telemetry, Sensors, Tracking) — pay-as-you-use model.

  • High-Data IoT (Dashcams, PTT, Video Analytics) — pooled or committed data bundles.

  • Hybrid Deployments — mix and match profiles under one unified account.

This approach ensures you’re never overpaying, while maintaining uptime across 47+ African countries.

2. Transparent, Predictable Costs

Every CommsCloud plan is built around four simple, transparent components:

Charge TypeWhat It CoversWhy It Matters
SIM Purchase (Once-Off)Your physical or eUICC SIM – pre-tested, ready for deployment.No hidden activation costs.
Monthly Platform FeeAccess to the floLIVE connectivity management portal – control, visibility, and reporting.Know your fleet in real time.
Data UsageEither pay-as-you-use or pooled bundles (300MB, 1GB, 3GB+).Flexible, scalable, fair.
Prepaid DepositTwo months’ estimated usage, fully adjustable.Ensures uninterrupted service and financial transparency.

💡 You only pay for what you use — with full visibility and no lock-in contracts.

3. Built-In Cost Protection

Your business shouldn’t face bill shock. Every account includes:

  • Overage Protection – automatically pauses SIMs when thresholds are reached.

  • Aggregated Billing – pool usage across SIMs to balance under- and over-performers.

  • Monthly Reviews – rates adjusted to keep your average below $9 per GB on high-data plans.

  • Prepaid Transparency – deposits adjusted every two months to match live usage.

This ensures real uptime with real ROI, not runaway costs.

Our Plans at a Glance

Low Data Volume (LDV) SIMs

For sensors, smart meters, or lightweight telemetry devices.

  • Pay-as-you-use model — only pay for actual data consumed.

  • Average rates: $0.01–$0.05/MB across 47 African countries.

  • Full visibility through your CommsCloud Connectivity Management Portal.

  • Remote upgrades and network switching built in.

High Data Volume (HDV) SIMs

For dashcams, push-to-talk radios, or high-bandwidth IoT applications.

  • Commitment tiers: 300MB, 1GB, and 3GB per SIM/month.

  • Aggregated billing — share data across all SIMs in a plan.

  • Average rates: $0.004–$0.024/MB across 17 African countries.

  • Coverage: Southern, Central, and East Africa, with continuous border-to-border uptime.

Why You Won’t Find CommsCloud Pricing Tables Online

Because no two IoT deployments are alike — and flat-rate pricing is often misleading. African IoT projects vary by terrain, coverage density, and regulatory context. Publishing generic rates online would risk over- or under-quoting.

Instead, we follow a guided pricing process designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and fit:

  1. Step 1: Discovery Call – understand your devices, data usage, and route maps.

  2. Step 2: Plan Design – recommend profiles (Africa1, Africa3, or EU1) and bundle mix.

  3. Step 3: Commercial Proposal – deliver a tailored quote with volume scaling options.

  4. Step 4: Go Live – provision your SIMs, test in the field, and adjust billing after 60 days.

Every quote includes a full rate card by country, but only once we understand your environment — because we quote to deliver uptime, not just megabytes.
