Personal / Family Rates

Software: Software for private use is generally less costly than for a business. Many software products work on an annual subscription fee. Not including installations, your average cost is between R2500 and R3500  per package.

Hardware: Hardware for private use is not a significant cost in comparison to business use. Each person and family will have their own custom needs, but the prices of devices are widely advertised and available on store websites. The average person with no hardware might need to make a provision of between R3500 for security or safety improvements, but it could be substantially more.
