As a super apps, MoyaApp offers a range of services, including payment processing, instant messaging, and entertainment options.

MoyaApp is a digital solution developed by the South African company Datafree Africa. Launched in 2019 by Gour Lentell, it allows users to access a variety of services through its mobile application. The super app is available on both iOS and Android platforms, where it has been downloaded over 10 million times, according to Play Store data. After downloading, users create an account to access the various services offered by the app. These services include chatting with friends, accessing live football scores, staying updated with the latest news, and making online payments.

One of the key features of MoyaApp is that users do not need mobile data to send text and voice messages. However, sending attachments requires mobile data. The startup explains this by stating that attachments require much more data than text messages, and if all media messages were free, MoyaApp would not have the capacity to keep the lights on.

Regarding other features of the super app, the startup has partnered with various companies. For instance, it has teamed up with Flash Score to provide live football scores. Access to these third-party applications requires “Prepaid Access,” which means paying for the content via MoyaApp.

"Prepaid access means that you as the user will pay for the content you want to see for how long you would like to see it. The prepaid content apps are datafree, therefore you do not need data to open Flash Score or apps that are prepaid as you only pay for the content you want to see," explains the startup.
