How much does NRS e-invoicing cost with Yona?

Each plan comes with credits every month. A paid plan can also be billed yearly, which works out at two months free (see below).

The pricing page at /pricing always shows the current prices and how many credits each plan includes.

• Free: ₦0 a month. A way to try Yona, with starter credits. For individuals and small businesses getting started.
• Starter: everything a business needs to stay tax compliant.
• Professional: for medium-sized businesses with growing invoice volume.
• Business: for large businesses with high invoice volume.

A credit is a unit inside Yona, not a sum of money. Your plan says how many credits you get each month. The price list says how many credits each action uses.

Credits come out of your business's balance. It does not matter who did the work: a person on your team in the app, or your own software through the Yona API. The same price list applies to both.

An action uses credits when it happens. These are the main ones. The pricing page at /pricing shows what the most common ones cost, and the full price list is in the Billing area of the Yona app.

• Creating a draft invoice.
• Checking (validating) an invoice, so mistakes are caught before it goes out.
• Reporting an invoice to NRS.
• Cancelling a reported invoice with a credit note.
• Downloading an invoice as a PDF.
• Adding a buyer, and verifying a buyer's tax number (TIN) with NRS.
• Asking NRS for an invoice's status yourself, on demand.
• Bringing in an invoice another business sent you, with its full content. This is charged once per invoice; refreshing it later is free.

A lot of everyday work uses no credits at all.

• Viewing your invoices, buyers and history.
• Automatic status checks, which follow each invoice on its way to NRS and back.
• Automatic checks on whether a buyer is on the e-invoicing network.
• Printing.
• Editing a draft invoice.
• Your settings and managing your team.
• Practising in the sandbox, which has its own free balance.

When you report an invoice, Yona first sets the credits aside. This is called a hold. If NRS refuses the invoice before registering it, the hold is released and nothing is charged. The credits are taken only once NRS registers the invoice.

Verifying a buyer's tax number works the same way: if NRS cannot answer, the hold is released.

If the same action is retried on the same invoice, it is never charged twice. Sending an invoice again after NRS refused it counts as a new report.

If an action needs more credits than you have, Yona refuses it and nothing is half done. Work that cannot wait, such as emailing an invoice to a buyer who is not on the e-invoicing network, still goes ahead, and the shortfall is recorded.

You can buy more credits (a top-up) in the Yona app at any time. The app takes you to the payment provider's checkout to pay.

To avoid surprises, set a low-balance alert in the app. When your balance drops below the level you choose, the app shows a banner.

If you pay for a year, you pay for ten months and get twelve months of credits. That is two months free compared with paying month by month.

The sandbox is a practice copy of the real flow. It runs against the NRS test system, and nothing you do there has legal effect.

Sandbox actions use the same credit prices as live, but they come from a separate sandbox balance. That balance refills every month, and you can top it up for free in the app. So you can see what your real usage would cost before you spend anything.

Some organisations want Elyonar to connect the ERP, accounting or billing system they already run to NRS. Elyonar is a licensed System Integrator (NITDA/2026/S21ZW0), so we can build that connection for you.

This is priced by agreement. We agree the scope, the price and the timeline with you in writing. See /integration to start the conversation. If your own team wants to build on the Yona API instead, see /developers.

Choose Get started on useyona.com and sign up. Verify your business, then select Elyonar as your Access Point on the NRS e-invoicing portal. An Access Point is a licensed company that carries your invoices to NRS; Elyonar LTD is licensed by NITDA as one (NITDA/2026/A3HXS0). The guide at /nrs-e-invoicing/select-access-point shows each step.
