Particularly, fecal sludge emptying have become increasingly important due growing urban population. This review aims scope literature on stated revealed willingness pay (WTP) systems identify determinants WTP gaps in knowledge. We performed electronic searches six databases. After deduplication, 1846 records were identified, which 14 included review. In these studies, we identified 26 distinct scenarios that reported mean or median values their market price (i.e., at provided). Among scenarios, 77% (n = 20) was lower than price. 20 statistically significant WTP, leveraged when developing improving manual mechanical attract more customers. Future research should consider adopt flexible pricing mobile money payment optimize operations increase WTP. Validating effectiveness solving WTP–market imbalance a knowledge gap.
