Let's do the math instead of giving you a marketing answer.
The numbers
- Pro plan cost: $39/month (about AED 143 at current conversion)
- Trial: 3 days free, then your first month is $19 (the following month is $39).
- Service charge on Pro: 4.5% (+ AED 2 flat per order)
- Service charge on Free: 12.5% (+ AED 2 flat per order)
- Savings per AED 1,000 earned: AED 80 less in service charges on Pro vs Free
Break-even calculation
The flat AED 2 per order cancels out (same on both plans). The percentage delta between Free and Pro is 8%, so:
AED 143 / 0.08 ≈ AED 1,790 / month in earnings
If you earn more than AED 1,790 in a given month, Pro comes out ahead. Below that, Free is cheaper.
Real examples
- AED 1,000/month earnings — Free charge: ~AED 125. Pro charge: ~AED 45 + AED 143 sub = AED 188. Free wins by about AED 63.
- AED 2,000/month — Free: ~AED 250. Pro: ~AED 90 + AED 143 = AED 233. Pro saves you about AED 17.
- AED 5,000/month — Free: ~AED 625. Pro: ~AED 225 + AED 143 = AED 368. Pro saves you about AED 257.
- AED 10,000/month — Free: ~AED 1,250. Pro: ~AED 450 + AED 143 = AED 593. Pro saves you about AED 657.
(These numbers use AED figures for the dollar-denominated Pro subscription — actual USD charges on your card will vary slightly with FX.)
Our recommendation
Start on Free. Once you consistently earn AED 2,000+/month for 2–3 months, start the 3-day Pro trial. You can cancel anytime from your Stripe billing portal — no lock-in, no cancellation fee.
