Tell us how many cars you sell and the tools you need. Our free plan guide recommends the right tier in two questions.
The Starter plan costs nothing up front. When a vehicle you list on it sells to a buyer who came through kemotives, you pay a success fee on the sale price, at the rate for its price band.
On Basic, Growth, Enterprise and Custom plans you pay no commission at all.
For example, a car on the Starter plan that sells for KES 1,500,000 pays KES 37,500. On a paid plan it pays nothing.
| Sale price (KES) | Starter fee |
|---|---|
| Under 500,000 | 3.5%at least KES 10,000 |
| 500,000 – 999,999 | 3% |
| 1,000,000 – 1,999,999 | 2.5% |
| 2,000,000 – 2,999,999 | 2% |
| 3,000,000 – 4,999,999 | 1.5% |
| 5,000,000 and above | 1%at most KES 100,000 |
| Any price, on a paid plan | 0% |
Built for Modern Car Dealers
kemotives isn't just a classifieds board. We built an advanced automotive operating system with computer vision, instant lead capture, and anti-fraud protections so you can focus on closing deals.
Upload your car photos and let our computer vision model detect make, model, year, transmission, fuel, body type, and engine size in seconds with high confidence.
Never worry about manually editing out vehicle number plates. Our AI neural network detects Kenyan plates on all uploaded photos and blurs them automatically.
Each listing can receive an objective AI Condition Grade and Score (A/B/C) based on photo inspection, giving distant car buyers trust to make faster purchase decisions.
On a paid plan, once your KYC is approved, signed-in buyers reveal your own phone number and WhatsApp you in 1 click. No brokers and 0% commission: you keep 100% of the sale price.
Submit your KYC verification on your dashboard to unlock the official Verified Seller badge across your storefront and vehicle listings, attracting up to 3x more inquiries.

Everything you need to know about selling cars on kemotives.
Visit the help centerWhen you upload your vehicle photos on the Add Listing form, our computer vision models immediately analyze the exterior and interior angles. It automatically determines the make, model, estimated year, body type, transmission, fuel type, engine capacity, and drive system, filling out the form in seconds.
Exposing registration plates publicly can make vehicles targets for cloned listings or privacy issues. Our plate detection system scans every uploaded vehicle photo, accurately pinpoints Kenyan registration plates, and automatically blurs the plate before the photos are published to buyers.
Yes. The Starter plan has no monthly fee and needs no credit card. You get up to 10 active listings, complete with AI Vision auto-fill and automated number plate blurring. If a vehicle sells to a buyer who came through kemotives, you pay a success fee of 1% to 3.5% of the sale price. Paid plans pay no commission.
Only when a vehicle listed on the free Starter plan sells to a buyer who came through kemotives, under the brokerage terms you accept when becoming a seller: 3.5% of the sale price under KES 500,000 (at least KES 10,000), 3% from KES 500,000, 2.5% from KES 1,000,000, 2% from KES 2,000,000, 1.5% from KES 3,000,000, and 1% from KES 5,000,000 (at most KES 100,000). Nothing is owed for listing, for enquiries that don't lead to a sale, or if you find the buyer yourself. While you have an active paid plan, you pay 0% commission.
All sellers who create an account start as sellers and can immediately post ads. Once you submit a quick KYC ID document on your dashboard and our team approves it, your account is upgraded to a Verified Seller, displaying the official verification badge and unlocking buyer phone number reveals on paid plans.
On a paid plan, once our team has approved your KYC, signed-in buyers can reveal your own phone number and call or WhatsApp you directly, and you pay 0% commission. On the free Starter plan, buyers reach you through our support team, who pass their enquiries on, and the Starter success fee applies if one of them buys. Either way you agree the price with the buyer, who pays you directly.
Yes. All plans are on a simple 30-day lifecycle. You can upgrade to a higher tier as your dealership inventory grows or manage your plan directly from your seller dashboard.
