GOB vs Catlog, side by side

Comparison of GOB and Catlog features
Feature GOB Catlog
Cost Free forever - no subscription, ever. No permanent free plan - a short paid or free trial, then a mandatory monthly subscription.
Product limits Unlimited products on every store, always. The entry-level plan caps how many products you can list; unlimited listings sit on a higher tier.
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. Domain connection is manual and/or restricted to higher plan tiers.
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 an inventory and storefront tool - not a banking product.
Staff & roles Free and unlimited staff roles with permissions. Staff access is tied to 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.
Free With Every Store

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 Catlog, custom domain support is more limited and typically needs manual DNS work.

Common Questions

GOB vs Catlog - FAQ

Yes. GOB is free forever - no trial period, no forced upgrade. Catlog's pricing is subscription-only after a short trial window.
GOB never limits how many products you can list. Catlog's entry-level plan caps your product count, so a growing catalog can force an upgrade to keep listing.
GOB lets you register a brand-new domain or connect an existing one directly from the app, with DNS and SSL configured automatically. Domain support on Catlog is more limited and typically plan-gated.
Not a comparable one. GOBie is a full chat-based assistant inside GOB - it can list products from a plain-English description, answer questions about your sales and profit, and even pay bills or send money on request.
