Short answer: prepaid Naira credit beats dollar subscriptions. AfricanOps starts at ₦5,000 one-time (not monthly), topped up ₦1,000 at a time — versus foreign AI subscriptions at $20+/month that need a virtual dollar card and renew whether you used them or not.
Why subscriptions don't fit Nigeria
Dollar cards fail — virtual card declines, funding fees, FX spreads on every renewal
Monthly renewals punish light use — you pay full price in a month you barely used it
Prepaid matches how Nigeria already buys — airtime and data are topped up when needed; AI credit works the same way here
What ₦5,000 actually gets you
A personal AI employee in the cloud: it builds and deploys real websites and apps, keeps your business records, writes your marketing, and works from your phone browser. Credit is consumed as it works — light use lasts weeks; heavy building uses it faster; ₦1,000 tops it up. Terminal users can put the same credit behind the Claude Code CLI instead.
Pricing (Naira, bank transfer or USSD — no foreign card):
₦5,000 Starter — your own AI employee, hired in under a minute
₦10,000 Standard — more than double the work credit
₦20,000 Pro — for daily and client work
₦1,000 top-up — like buying data, whenever credit runs low
Plans are prepaid work-credit bundles, not subscriptions — your AI employee pauses when credit finishes and continues when you top up; your files stay safe. Agents run on fast DeepSeek models through the AfricanOps gateway. Prices VAT inclusive.
Common questions
Is there a free AI agent in Nigeria? Free chatbots exist, but agents that build and deploy real work cost money to run. AfricanOps keeps entry at ₦5,000 prepaid with ₦1,000 top-ups instead of monthly dollar subscriptions.
How long does ₦5,000 of AI credit last? Depends on workload: light chatting and small builds can last weeks; heavy daily building finishes faster. The agent pauses when credit ends and resumes on any top-up — files always kept.
