Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is Zuke really free to start?

Yes! You can sign up and start using Zuke without paying anything. Business case generation, social media scheduling, product listings, and the Neo AI advisor are all completely free—forever. You only pay when you want to use premium features like AI image generation (R10/image) or video creation (R25/video). No credit card required to sign up.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No credit card required! Sign up with just your email and start using free features immediately. When you're ready to use paid features, we accept EFT, debit/credit cards, Instant EFT, and mobile money through Paystack—all South African-friendly payment options. Top up from as little as R50.

What's the difference between Projects and Hustles?

Projects is for students who want to turn academic or personal projects into fundable startups. It focuses on business case generation, pitch decks, and connecting you with competitions and investors. Hustles is for students who already have products or services to sell—it focuses on marketing, social media, and reaching customers on campus. Many students use both!

Can I use Zuke for university assignments?

Yes! Many students use Zuke for entrepreneurship courses, capstone projects, and business plan assignments. The AI generates original content based on your specific inputs, making each business case unique. We recommend reviewing and personalizing the output to add your own insights—this helps you learn the concepts while producing professional work.

How does Zuke compare to Canva or ChatGPT?

Zuke is an all-in-one platform built specifically for student entrepreneurs. Unlike Canva (design only) or ChatGPT (chat only), Zuke combines business planning, AI design, video creation, social media management, and marketplace features in one place. Our business case generator is purpose-built for academic submissions and investor pitches. Plus, we offer SA payment options and pricing 50x cheaper than professionals.

What happens to my credits if I don't use them?

Your credits never expire! Use them at your own pace—whether that's this week or next semester. We understand student schedules are unpredictable. There's no pressure to spend quickly, and your balance carries over indefinitely.

Is my data safe and secure?

Absolutely. Zuke is built on Microsoft Azure with enterprise-grade security. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and we're fully POPIA compliant. We never share your business ideas or personal information with third parties. Your intellectual property remains 100% yours.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes! All our subscription plans can be cancelled anytime with no penalties or fees. If you're on pay-as-you-go, there's nothing to cancel—you simply stop topping up when you want. Any remaining credits in your account will stay there until you're ready to use them.

Still have questions? Chat with us or email students@zuke.co.za—we respond within 2 hours.
