PAi: Invoices bill scanning, PAi: WhatsApp replies and marketing emails have the monthly limits shown above; receipts and other service emails are never counted.
- WhatsApp messages you send (campaigns, automatic messages and inbox templates): 1,000 for $14.99, batches never expire, unused ones roll over to the next month
- Replies to a customer who wrote to you in the last 24 hours: free
i
When a month's marketing emails run out, new ones wait for the 1st and nothing else stops; the ones held back are never sent late without your say-so. WhatsApp uses your venue's own WhatsApp Business number, and Meta bills its own message fees to you directly, separately.
Add-ons
Optional extras on top of your plan. Add them in the app under My Subscription.

i

Questions
What does PlayArea OS cost?
It is billed per organisation, monthly or yearly, in USD: Front Desk 199 a month, Venue Manager 449 a month, Business Suite 799 a month, or 10% less paid yearly. Each plan comes with the branches, POS and staff logins a venue its size needs: Front Desk one branch, three POS and five logins; Venue Manager three branches, eight POS and fifteen logins; Business Suite ten branches with unlimited POS and logins. If you run more than one site, email info@playareaos.com with your venue type, city and number of sites for a group quote.
Is the price per venue, per branch or per staff member?
Per organisation. The organisation is the business account your staff sign in to, and branches belong to it. If you run more than one site, email the team with the number of branches and they will explain how that is priced.
Is there a charge for moving my data across?
No. Bringing your families, your product list and your opening balances over from your old POS or your spreadsheets comes with the subscription. The switching page walks the whole move through.
Can I change bundle later?
Yes. Send the request to upgrade, downgrade or add an extra tile from the subscription page inside the app, and the PlayArea OS team actions it for you.
Does my venue stop working if a payment is late?
Not straight away. A reminder comes before the due date and a three-day grace period afterwards keeps waivers and the POS working. If the account then pauses, everything stays where you left it and paying switches it all back on instantly.
What if I cancel?
You keep full access to the end of the period you have paid for, and your records are kept safely for a year afterwards in case you come back. Nothing is ever charged after you cancel.
Does PlayArea OS work outside the UAE?
Your country, your currency, your tax rate and the days your week treats as the weekend are all yours, and the rest of the system follows: the POS, the play timers, the waivers, the parties, the passes, the customer records, the stock, the suppliers, the rota, the reports and the books.
Do I need to buy any hardware?
No. PlayArea OS runs in the browser on the tablets, phones and laptops you already own, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to install.
