Billing questions, answered

Chupacabraz Billionaire is designed to be accessible for village savings groups of all sizes. Here's how pricing, setup, and support actually work.

How much does Chupacabraz Billionaire cost?

The platform is free for groups with up to 25 members. For larger groups or those needing advanced features like custom reporting or multi-group management, we offer affordable paid tiers starting at 15,000 RWF per year. Contact us for nonprofit and community organization discounts.

Do we need technical expertise to set up and use the system?

No technical skills required. The setup wizard walks you through creating your group profile, adding members, and configuring policies in under 15 minutes. We also provide video tutorials in Kinyarwanda, French, and English, plus email support for any questions.

What happens to our data if we stop using the platform?

You own your data, always. Export a complete CSV archive of all contributions, loans, penalties, and member records anytime with one click. If you decide to move on, you take everything with you—no lock-in, no data hostage situations.

Can we customize the penalty rates and loan interest?

Yes. While the system defaults to 5% penalties and 10% loan interest based on common VSLA practices, board administrators can adjust these rates in settings to match your group's specific policies and bylaws.

Is training or onboarding support available?

Absolutely. We offer free onboarding sessions for new groups via video call or in-person (Kigali area). We'll train your board members and treasurer on all features, answer questions, and ensure everyone is comfortable before you go live.

How do we handle disputes or errors in the system?

Every transaction includes a full audit trail showing who entered it and when. Board members with admin access can edit or reverse entries if needed, and all changes are logged. For technical issues, our support team responds within 24 hours via email or WhatsApp.
