questions?

Honest answers about how everything works — pricing, payments, refunds, and what "made in SA" actually means.

Checkout depends on the product. NotaryPrep SA and Locked In now link directly to live PayFast and Gumroad purchase flows, while other products may still use free access, waitlists, or direct contact depending on where they are in the workshop. No subscription - you pay once and keep access.
Yes, genuinely. Every product is built to stay useful in the SA context, including low-connectivity and load-shedding situations. Some tools run fully offline in the browser, while others use optional buyer-supplied AI keys only for the features that need them.
Yes. If a product genuinely doesn't work for you, get in touch within 7 days of purchase and we'll sort it out. We're a solo studio and our reputation depends on people actually getting value. We won't make refunds a fight.
Absolutely - this is how most of the best ideas come in. If you have a repetitive, annoying task at your business that you think could be automated or turned into a tool, reach out via the contact page. If it's a problem other people have too, we'll build it and list it. If it's specific to your business, we can talk about a custom build.
One person - a South African legal professional who started building digital tools on the side. The "Noobi" in the name is honest: this is an exploration, not a Silicon Valley operation. The tools are built with real craft and tested against real SA use cases. The About page has the full story.
NotaryPrep SA is SA-specific by design because the exam and legal framework are local. StickyVault and Phanda ka AI are useful anywhere. We build local first, then broaden where it makes sense.
