A Fee Plan That Moves With Your Season

Every farm gets equal access to KofiTrack — what you pay us is tied to what your members actually earn, never to a fixed monthly bill.

Our Promise to You

KofiTrack exists to help your factory run smoothly — tracking deliveries, calculating payments accurately, and keeping records your members can trust. We designed our pricing around one simple rule: we only ask for a fee at the moment you pay your members — and never more than a small fraction of that payment. No monthly bills. No charges during the months when coffee is still being delivered and no money has come in yet. No surprise invoices.

Equal Access for Every Farm

Whether you run one buying centre or a cooperative society with several factories, every farm gets the full KofiTrack platform — delivery recording, member management, advances, SMS notifications, and reporting. Access is never tiered by size.

Earnings Determine Payout

What you pay KofiTrack is calculated from your real payout to members at each payment round — not a guess, not a flat subscription. A good season means a bigger payout and our fee reflects that; a lean season means a smaller fee too.

One-Time Onboarding Fee

A one-time fee of KSh 10,000 is charged when your factory joins KofiTrack. This covers account setup, data migration, and training for your staff — the same for every factory, regardless of size.

Per-Payment Service Fee

Every time your factory runs a payment round for members, KofiTrack calculates the total value of that round (kilos paid × rate per kilo, including any top-up payments). Our fee is a percentage of that total value:

Platform fee by total payout value in a single payment event
Total payout value in that payment eventPlatform fee rate
KSh 0 – 5,000,0000.6%
KSh 5,000,001 – 20,000,0000.45%
KSh 20,000,001 – 60,000,0000.3%
Above KSh 60,000,0000.2%

Our fee will never exceed 0.6% of any single payment round, no matter how the price per kilo changes during the season.

Tied to your real payout, not a guess.If coffee prices are good this season, our fee reflects that. If prices are lower, our fee is lower too — we feel the season the same way you do.
No fixed cost regardless of size.A factory with 50,000 kg and a factory with 600,000 kg are never charged the same amount — each pays in proportion to what actually moved through the system.
Bigger factories get a lower rate.As your total payout grows, the percentage we charge goes down — your growth is never used against you.
You only pay when you have money.Because the fee is calculated at the same moment as your member payments, you are never asked for cash during the lean months of the season.

Worked Example

Suppose your factory runs three payment rounds in a season, exactly as kilos are delivered and rates are declared:

Example season with three payment rounds
Payment roundTotal paid to membersKofiTrack fee
Payment 1KSh 7,000KSh 42
Payment 2KSh 11,000KSh 66
Payment 3KSh 7,200KSh 43.20

At larger, real-world factory volumes, the same logic applies — just at the appropriate bracket. For example, a factory paying out KSh 42,000,000 across a season (about 600,000 kg at KSh 70/kg) would pay roughly KSh 126,000 in total platform fees for the entire season — about 0.3% of what was paid to its members.

Summary

One-time onboarding fee: KSh 10,000
Per-payment fee: 0.2% – 0.6% of payout value, charged only when you pay your members
Maximum possible rate: 0.6% of any single payment round, guaranteed
Nothing owed during the season until a payment round actually happens

Pricing Questions

What if we have a difficult season with low prices?

Your fee automatically becomes smaller too, because it is calculated from your actual payout value at that moment — not a fixed amount agreed in advance.

Do we pay anything before we sell our coffee?

No. Apart from the one-time onboarding fee, nothing is owed until you run an actual member payment round.

Is the fee taken from member payments?

No. The fee is a separate platform service charge paid by the factory for using KofiTrack — it is not deducted from amounts owed to farmers.

Can the rate change without notice?

No. Any change to this fee structure will be communicated to your factory in writing well before it takes effect.

Do all farms get the same access to the platform?

Yes. Every member-managing feature — delivery recording, balances, statements, advances, SMS notifications — is available to every farm on KofiTrack regardless of size. What changes from season to season is your payout, based on what your members actually earn, not what features you can access.
