asuraa.aiCreator Platform Fees in India Compared (2026): Topmate, SuperProfile, Cosmofeed, Calendly, Gumroad and asuraa.ai
Every creator platform takes a cut, but the way they charge differs: a percentage per sale, a monthly plan, or both. Here is what each major option charges Indian creators, side by side, with sources.
Most creator platforms used in India charge around 10% of each sale, but the details differ a lot: some add a monthly plan, some charge more when buyers find you through their marketplace, and payment charges vary. This comparison lists what each platform says it charges, so you can work out what you actually keep. Fees were checked on 12 November 2026 and change often, so always confirm on the platform's own page.

Not stated in its fee article | 10% + GST | Cosmofeed says the 10% covers payment gateway costs | |

What you keep from a ₹1,000 call
Looking only at the platform's own fee per sale, before payment charges and taxes:
- Topmate: ₹100 if the buyer came through your link, ₹200 if they found you on Topmate's marketplace.
- Cosmofeed: ₹100 plus GST on that fee, with gateway costs included.
- Gumroad: ₹100 plus $0.50, or ₹300 for a Discover sale.
- asuraa.ai: ₹100, whether the buyer came from your link or from Explore.
- Calendly and SuperProfile (USD plans): no per-sale fee from the platform, but you pay a monthly plan and your payment provider's fees.
A monthly plan only pays off once your sales are high enough. A $29 plan costs about the same as the 10% fee on roughly ₹24,000 of monthly sales, at an exchange rate of about ₹83 to the dollar.
Beyond fees: what to compare
- Marketplace surcharges. Some platforms charge more when their marketplace brings you the buyer. Check whether discovery costs you extra.
- What you can sell. Calls, async Q&A, webinars, digital products, packages and memberships are not all available everywhere.
- Payments in India. UPI, cards and net banking, and how quickly you receive payouts.
- Scheduling and meeting links. Whether availability, time zones and video links are built in, or need separate tools.
- Who owns the buyer relationship. Whether you get buyer details and can follow up.
