Different layers of the sale
eGrow runs your order backend — confirmations, shipping, returns. Timi runs the WhatsApp front of the sale, from first reply to the M-Pesa confirmation.
No website, no storefront required
If you sell off Instagram and WhatsApp alone, Timi needs no website. If you have a store to run, eGrow is built for that layer.
Flat KES versus USD tiers
Timi is one flat KES price. eGrow bills in USD at per-plan tiers, so a Kenyan shop compares real monthly shillings carefully.
