Uptime target on paid plans
Every campaign in Zambia starts with a link. On a flyer. In a WhatsApp group. Inside a 160-character SMS. Jot makes that link short, scannable and measurable, and shows you the real numbers behind every tap.
Everything a bank, a telco or an event company needs once they're past their first ten links, in one place.
