It makes most sense if you cannot (or would rather not) put R80,000–R150,000 down and do not want a loan. Over 10 years a subscription usually costs more than buying outright, and you do not own the asset.
See the comparison above — each differs in who owns the system and how you pay.
Providers run their own affordability check once you apply.
