Where they’re similar
Both deliver airtime and data on all four networks plus cable TV and electricity, funded from a prepaid wallet and called over a REST API. ClubKonnect has a long track record and additionally offers recharge-card printing, which Plustive doesn’t — if that’s part of your product, it’s a genuine point in its favour.
Where Plustive differs
- Automatic reconciliation + refunds. An ambiguous call returns
Pending and settles in about a minute; a genuine failure refunds your wallet to the kobo automatically — you don’t chase a reversal. - Integer kobo everywhere. Amounts and balances are exact integers (₦1 = 100 kobo), so your ledger never drifts on floating-point rounding.
- Idempotency by default. Every purchase carries your
clientReference, enforced at the database level, so a retry after a timeout never double-charges. - Modern developer experience. One wallet and one Bearer key across every service, with a current reference, a live API console and webhooks on the terminal state.
When ClubKonnect may be the better call
ClubKonnect has been serving Nigerian resellers for years and covers recharge-card printing alongside VTU. If you specifically need card printing, or you’re already integrated and stable, that incumbency is worth something — we’d rather say so than pretend otherwise.
The bottom line
If you want correctness handled for you — exact money, safe retries, automatic refunds — Plustive is the more developer-friendly choice. Read the docs or follow the build guide to try it.
