One flat fee. Every receipt.
Pro is ₦50,000 a month and includes 500,000 notifications at 100 requests a second. You bring your own provider credentials, so carrier costs are billed by your provider at the rate you negotiated — Nerve adds nothing to them. Start on 1,000 notifications, free.

Do the math before you commit.
Set your monthly volume, your peak burst, and the rate your own provider charges. The estimate shows the flat Nerve fee and your carrier spend as two separate lines, because that is how they are billed.
- Nerve platform fee
- ₦50,000
- Your carrier spend
- ₦350,000
- Total monthly cost
- ₦400,000
Every number here is arithmetic, not a quote. The carrier line is your provider's price, passed through at cost.
Two lines, and neither of them is a mystery
One flat platform fee
₦50,000 a month on Pro, and 500,000 notifications are included in it. No per-message platform charge, no per-10,000-request meter, no proration. The free tier is ₦0 with 1,000 notifications.
Carrier costs, paid at cost
You bring your own provider credentials, so the carrier bills your account directly at the rate you negotiated. Nerve never touches that money and adds nothing to it: the platform fee is our entire margin.
Billed in your currency
NGN on launch, with local rates in local money. If a payment fails, a 7-day grace window keeps the workspace at full limits before it falls back to the free tier.
When the flat plan no longer fits.
A dedicated Nigerian PostgreSQL deployment in a Tier-3 Lagos facility, with a 2–3 week migration SLA, for regulated institutions that cannot store data off-shore.
Service credits against an agreed availability target, with a named escalation path for major incidents.
A signed DPA and questionnaire response, with an architecture walkthrough for your security team.
Questions about the bill
One flat platform fee of ₦50,000 a month on Pro, which includes 500,000 notifications. Carrier charges are paid by you, to your own provider, at the rate on your account. Nerve takes no cut of them.
The free tier is 1,000 notifications a month at 1 request a second. Past that, traffic is admitted against the Pro limits and the flat fee applies. You are never charged without an explicit subscription.
That is the point where the flat plan stops fitting, and it is a conversation rather than a surprise invoice. Talk to us and we will agree a custom agreement.
No. Because you bring your own provider credentials, the carrier bills you directly at cost. There is no handling percentage, no blended rate, and no margin buried in the carrier line — the platform fee is the only money Nerve keeps.
A 7-day grace window keeps your workspace at full limits while the payment is retried. If it is not resolved, the workspace falls back to the free tier — 1 request a second and 1,000 notifications — and no traffic is silently billed.
No. Pro is month to month. Enterprise agreements are annual, and that is what carries the in-country residency path and the contractual SLA.
