Built for African businesses that need to launch, not configure.
Live in days, not quarters
Pick a product from the catalogue, point it at your domain, and go live in under a week. Guided onboarding, sensible defaults, and a team that picks up the phone.
Every tool in one place
Reava Pay payments, e-commerce storefronts, the Gwinto Household System, transactional email, AI services, and your own custom scripts — deployed and managed from one dashboard.
Get paid the African way
Reava Pay accepts M-Pesa, Airtel Money, cards, and bank transfers. Priced and invoiced in KES — no FX surprises, no currency you have to convert in your head.
AI that helps, never breaks
A built-in assistant explains anomalies, drafts content, and answers questions about your deployments. Tightly scoped — your AI never changes the cluster on its own.
Your data, hosted close to home
Per-tenant isolation, encrypted at rest, with a full audit log of every action. Hosted on infrastructure built for African latency and data-protection law.
See everything you run
Real-time dashboards across every product you deploy — health, usage, spend, and billing — so you always know what is running and what it costs.

FAQ
The questions we hear on every call.
How quickly can we go live?+
For most businesses, days rather than weeks. We give you a sandbox immediately, help you deploy your first product, and stay on the line during your first week live.
How do we pay?+
Everything is billed in KES. Pay via M-Pesa, Airtel Money, card, or bank transfer — whatever works for you. No foreign-currency surprises.
Do we own our data?+
Yes. Your data is yours and is exportable in standard formats (CSV, JSONL). Your data-processing agreement spells this out and our subprocessor list is public.
Do we have to manage servers?+
No. Gwinto Cloud is fully managed — Kubernetes under the hood, none of it your problem. You deploy a product, we keep it running, patched, and scaled.
How is AI handled?+
Built in. You get an in-app assistant and AI APIs that reason over your own data. Provider keys stay yours, and we never train on your data.
Pricing transparency?+
Public pricing page in KES — a plan fee plus pay-as-you-go on usage. No surprise surcharges. See /pricing.
