BUILT FOR SOUTH AFRICA

Many South Africans overpay their municipality every month. Most don't know. The ones who do can't face the queue. Billdog fixes that.

Our Mission

MAKE MUNICIPALITIES ACCOUNTABLE

South African municipalities issue millions of bills every month. Many contain errors — estimated readings, charges for unconnected services, duplicate entries, and tariff miscalculations.

Section 102 of the Municipal Systems Act gives every property owner the legal right to dispute these errors. But the process is slow, confusing, and designed to discourage complaints.

Billdog changes that. We use AI to scan your bill in under 2 minutes, identify every error, cite the exact legislation, and send a formal dispute letter to your municipality.

Our Technology

AI-POWERED. LEGALLY-TEMPLATED.

We believe AI should be disclosed as a feature, not hidden as a shortcut.

01

Bill Parsing

We extract text from your bill using OCR for photos and PDF parsing for documents.

02

Error Detection

Our AI compares each charge against tariff schedules, legal limits, and common error patterns.

03

Legal Letter

We search SA legislation using RAG to cite the correct act and section for every disputed item.

Our Values

WHAT WE STAND FOR

👁️

Transparency First

We tell you exactly what we find, how we find it, and what it costs. If your bill is correct, we say so — and you pay nothing.

⚖️

AI + Law

Our AI is trained on SA municipal legislation — the Municipal Systems Act, Prescription Act, and Electricity Regulation Act.

🛡️

Consumer Champion

Municipalities hold the power. You hold the bill. We level the playing field with technology, not lawyers.

🔒

Privacy by Design

We collect only what we need. Your card is handled by PayFast. Your data rights are protected by POPIA.

JOIN THE FIGHT

Your municipality doesn't get to overcharge you unchallenged.
