"We run both payroll and accounting for our 100 staff on Bluubin. We switched away from a large SA brand simply because it was so unwieldy — and we've never had an issue with Bluubin. Uptime, for us, has been 100 percent. Highly recommend."

Frequently asked questions
Is Bluubin really an all-in-one accounting and payroll platform?
Yes. Bluubin brings accounting and payroll together in one South African-built platform — VAT201, PAYE, UIF, e@syFile and EEA4 included — so you don't need separate tools or subscriptions for your books and your team.
Is Bluubin built for South African compliance?
It is. Bluubin is built and supported in South Africa and kept current with SARS and Department of Labour requirements — VAT201, EMP201/EMP501, PAYE, UIF, SDL, e@syFile and employment equity (EEA4) reporting are all built in.
How much does Bluubin cost?
Bluubin is one of the most affordable options in South Africa, with plans that include unlimited transactions and free email and telephone support. See the pricing page for current plans, and pay for 11 months to get one free on annual billing.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start a free 30-day trial with full access to accounting and payroll — no credit card required and no obligation to continue.
Is support really free?
Yes. Free email and telephone support is included on every plan, from a local South African team — we don't charge extra for help.
What is Bluubin?
Bluubin is a South African-built, cloud accounting and payroll platform for small and medium businesses. It combines your books and your payroll — VAT201, PAYE, UIF, e@syFile and EEA4 — in one system, with unlimited transactions and free local support.
Who is Bluubin for?
Bluubin suits South African small and medium businesses that want accounting and payroll in one affordable platform, as well as accounting and bookkeeping practices managing multiple client companies from a single login.
Is Bluubin a good alternative to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks?
Yes. Where those tools are often accounting-first with payroll as a separate subscription, Bluubin includes full South African payroll and accounting on one platform, with unlimited transactions and free telephone and email support.
