Paid memberships, in rupees, without autopay

How it works

1. 1

   Set your tiers

   Name each tier, price it in rupees, and say what it includes — the members-only feed, direct messages, pay-per-view posts, or a discount on requests. Up to ₹15,000 a month per tier.

2. 2

   A fan joins for a month or a year

   They pay once, by UPI, card or net banking. A year costs less than twelve months bought one at a time, and the saving is shown before they pay.

3. 3

   They keep access until the date they paid for

   No debit is scheduled, so nothing can be taken by surprise. Their membership simply runs out on the day it says.

4. 4

   We remind them before it ends

   Three days before, on the day, and three days after — in the app. One tap renews. “Not interested” stops the reminders for that creator.

Why no auto-renewal

Recurring card and UPI debits in India run on e-mandates, which fans have to authorise, remember, and then chase through their bank when they want out. Most cancellation complaints on subscription apps start there. We took the whole mechanism out: a membership is a purchase, not a standing instruction. The trade is that a fan has to come back and renew, so the reminder has to earn it — which is the right pressure to put on us, and on the work you post.

What members get

• A members-only feed. Posts you mark for members are visible to anyone on a tier that covers them.
• Direct messages, if you include them. A tier can carry messaging, or you can charge per message instead.
• Pay-per-view posts included, if you say so. Tiers that cover pay-per-view unlock those posts without a second charge.
• A discount on special requests. Set one per tier, and it is applied at checkout, not promised and forgotten.

What it costs

You price every tier yourself. Aura takes 10% of what a fan pays, and payment processing costs about 2% on payments made by card or UPI. On a ₹499 membership that is ₹49.90 to Aura and about ₹9.98 in processing. There is no monthly fee, no listing fee, and no minimum following.

Questions fans ask

Will I be charged again automatically?

No. There is no standing instruction on your bank account or card. When a membership ends, it ends.

How do I cancel?

There is nothing to cancel. Ignore the reminder and access stops on the date shown. Tap “Not interested” and we stop reminding you.

Can I renew early?

Yes, and you keep the days you have already paid for — the new period starts when the old one ends, not the day you renew.

Can I move to a bigger tier?

Any time. What you paid within the last day is credited against the new tier. A smaller tier waits for your current one to finish.

Start with what you already post

Most creators start with one tier and the work they were making anyway. If you want to see how Aura compares with other platforms first, read our guide to creator platforms in India or the Aura and Patreon comparison.
