What it sells
We deliver toll-free internet apps
Business model breakdown
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Users run out of mobile data and cannot reach the app; need local hosting close to users.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Developers deploy Docker containers, Kubernetes, VMs, managed Postgres/MySQL/Redis/Kafka, buckets and static sites on Simplifyd Cloud in Nigeria (ng-west-1) and set up Zerodata with partner mobile networks so apps stay reachable when users have no data.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Pay-as-you-go cloud billed by the second with no plans, tiers or platform fees; Zerodata lets mobile-network users reach apps without consuming data.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Self-serve console signup plus docs, cost estimator and an MCP server for AI agents; Zerodata is set up with 5 mobile networks.
