How Fetchway makes money

A pure SaaS subscription model — monthly recurring revenue per business client, with no variable costs tied to booking volume.

Primary
Monthly SaaS Fee

Each business client pays a fixed monthly fee for full platform access — WhatsApp booking, dashboard, analytics, and all features included.

AED 750
average per client per month
Infrastructure

Near-Term
Payment Processing

In-flow payment collection (deposits, prepayments) is a planned near-term expansion — adding a transaction fee stream on top of subscriptions.
