One plan
One plan, and the arithmetic
There is one plan because there is one product. Rather than state a figure and leave you to find the tax, here is the whole sum, the way a rate card prints its working.
Rate card
| Paying | Before GST | GST | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₹499 | ₹89.82 | ₹588.82 |
| Yearly | ₹5,988 | ₹1,077.84 | ₹7,065.84 |
Annual billing covers twelve months at the same rate, with no annual discount.
No setup fee. Importing your existing site is real work and it is included.

What it does not
- Your domain registration, which stays in your name and your control
- Writing or editing your journalism
- Design work beyond choosing and configuring a template
Questions publishers ask
- Is there a setup fee?
- No. Importing your existing site is real one-off work, and it would be the obvious thing to charge for, but a bill between a publisher and the moment they first see their own masthead running costs us more than it earns.
- What happens if we stop paying?
- You get about ten days of grace with reminders to your billing contact, then the site serves a notice in your own language rather than disappearing. Your archive is retained for at least ninety days after that, and deleting anything takes a deliberate action with an audit record. The site never returns a 404 for a payment dispute, because that would tell Google your archive is gone.
- Do you take a share of our advertising?
- No. There is no revenue share, no commission and no per-article fee. What the platform costs is the figure above, and nothing else.
- Can we leave and take our content?
- Yes. The archive is yours, the domain is registered in your name, and export is not a retention lever we hold. Ask and you get your content out.
- Is there a free trial?
- Not a time-limited trial, but you do not pay to find out what it looks like. Create your portal, choose its name, language, address and design, and publish into it — it stays private and unlisted until you decide to launch. You subscribe when you have seen it working, not before.
