GOB vs Bumpa, side by side
| Feature | GOB | Bumpa |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free forever - no subscription, ever. | No permanent free plan - a short free trial, then a mandatory monthly subscription to keep selling. |
| Product limits | Unlimited products on every store, always. | Lower-tier plans cap how many products you can list; growing past the limit means upgrading. |
| Local payments | Card, bank transfer, USSD and GOB Wallet, built in. | Payment collection runs through partner integrations rather than a native wallet. |
| Instant settlement & wallet | Dedicated GOB wallet, instant settlement, 24/7 withdrawal to any bank. | No dedicated business wallet - payout timing depends on the connected payment provider. |
| Custom domain | Register a domain and connect it from the app for free - DNS and SSL automatic. | Custom domain support is limited or plan-gated, and DNS setup is generally on you. |
| AI assistant | GOBie - a full chat-based store manager, business analyst and bill-payment assistant. | No comparable built-in AI business assistant. |
| Business banking & bills | Wallet, virtual account, transfers and bill payments (airtime, data, cable, electricity) in one app. | Primarily a storefront and inventory tool - not a banking product. |
| Staff & roles | Free and unlimited staff roles with permissions. | Staff seats and permissions are gated by subscription plan. |
| Identity verification (KYC) | NIN/BVN verification built into onboarding. | No equivalent built-in KYC layer. |
| In-app customer discovery | Every store listed for browsing inside the GOB app. | No built-in buyer marketplace. |
| One account, multiple stores | Run as many stores as you need from one free account. | Typically one store per active subscription. |
Buy, register and connect your own domain - right from the GOB app.
Search a domain, register it, and GOB connects it to your store automatically - DNS and SSL configured for you, no manual setup, no separate registrar account. On Bumpa, custom domain support is more limited and typically needs manual DNS work.
