Free to Start, One Payment to Unlock Everything
Pocket Shop Manager is free to download with core sales and inventory features working from day one. The Pro upgrade is a single one-time payment — not a subscription — that unlocks the full Tax Engine, unlimited staff accounts, smart invoicing, Google Drive backup, and every future update, for as long as you use the app.

Why a One-Time Payment Instead of a Subscription
Most comparable business management apps charge somewhere between ₦3,000 and ₦8,000 per month. At ₦10,000 one-time, Pocket Shop Manager pays for itself in under four months compared to any subscription alternative — and after that, it costs you nothing, ever, regardless of how prices change for new users later.
Your 14-Day Free Trial
Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial of full Pro features from the moment you first sign in — no payment required to begin. You'll see your remaining trial days in Settings, and can upgrade at any point before or after it ends to keep uninterrupted access.
What Happens After the First 10,000 Users
Once the first 10,000 lifetime licenses are claimed, new users will access Pocket Shop Manager through a subscription plan instead. Existing lifetime license holders are unaffected — your ₦10,000 payment locks in permanent access regardless of what pricing looks like for people who join later.
How to Upgrade
- Tap "Upgrade" on your Shop Profile page, or the Pro banner on any free-tier screen.
- Confirm the email address to attach your Pro license to.
- Choose Google Play Billing as your payment method.
- Complete payment — your account upgrades instantly and syncs across any device signed in with the same Google account.
Doing the Actual Math
A subscription-based competitor at even the low end of ₦3,000 per month adds up to ₦36,000 in a single year — more than three and a half times the one-time ₦10,000 lifetime price of Pocket Shop Manager. Over three years, that same subscription would cost over ₦100,000, while your Pro license here would still be the exact same one payment you made on day one. The earlier you lock in the Founder's price, the more that gap compounds in your favour.
Is Pro Worth It for a Small, One-Person Shop?
Even a small shop benefits directly from the Tax Engine alone — Input VAT recovery on supplier purchases routinely saves more than the license price within the first few months for any VAT-registered business. Add in unlimited staff accounts for when you eventually hire help, monthly PDF reports for loan applications, and WhatsApp invoicing that makes even a one-person operation look established, and the free tier starts to feel like a trial run for a version of the app that pays for itself.
Secure, Standard Payment Through Google
Payment is processed entirely through Google Play Billing — the same secure payment system used by every paid app on the Play Store. Patrido Multimedia never sees or stores your card or payment details directly; Google handles the transaction, and your Pro license activates automatically the moment payment is confirmed.
A Price That Rewards Deciding Early
Pricing like this is deliberately front-loaded to reward the people willing to commit before the app has a long track record. If you're already convinced this solves a real problem for your shop, there's no financial advantage in waiting — the price only goes up from here, and the Founder's lifetime guarantee only applies while slots remain.
