Accounts, plans and what each one gets
Registering, the free tier, what the paid plans add, what it costs, and the features that are gated.
Everything published on this platform is readable without an account. Signing in adds a workspace of your own: things you saved, applications you are tracking, what you want to be alerted about, and the AI tools.
Creating an account
- Open /register and fill in your name, your email address and a password.
- The password must be at least 12 characters. Anything shorter is refused on the form with the reason, and no account is created.
- Press
Create account. We email you a link to confirm your address. Open it to finish confirming. - Sign in at /login. You land on your dashboard.
The plans
There is a free tier, Explorer, and four paid plans: Insider, Pulse, Strategist and Enterprise. Prices are on Plans and pricing, which is built when you load it, so the prices there are always current.
| Plan | On sale | Price | How you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Explorer, the free tier | Not sold, and does not need to be | Free | Every account with no subscription is answered as Explorer. You do not choose it. |
| Insider, Pulse, Strategist and Enterprise | Not yet online. Write to us and we will set it up | See Plans and pricing | Write to support@allbusiness.africa with the plan you want and the address of your account. |
What the free tier already includes
- Everything on the public site: all four kinds of opportunity, the directories, search and filtering.
- Tender documents: anything a notice attaches can be opened and downloaded without a paid plan. See Reading a tender.
- Saved opportunities and the application tracker.
- The deadline calendar month view.
- Matched for you, the interest based matching, though not the scout that runs over it.
- ABA'AI Assess, with the requirement checklist and the Document Analyzer, within 10 AI requests a day. ABA'AI starts with Explorer, the free tier; the other tools are on the paid plans, see the AI tools.
What the paid plans add
When a free tier account opens one of these, the platform does not hide it and does not throw an error: the page loads, names the feature, describes what it does, and links to /pricing. That is deliberate, so you can see what you would be buying before you buy it.

Paying
When online payment opens, cards, invoices and cancellation are handled on a page hosted by Stripe, so no card number reaches this platform. Your subscription and the plan you are on are shown on Membership and billing.
Signing out
Your name appears at the top right once you are signed in; Sign out is under it, and also at the foot of the member menu. Signing out on one device does not sign you out on another.
