Billing & Payments

How subscription billing works

ChitNotes is subscription software. Here's exactly how choosing a plan and paying for it works.

Important: ChitNotes does not offer a wallet, prepaid balance, or money-transfer service, and it does not hold customer funds on your behalf. It is subscription software: you pay for access to the platform's features, on a recurring plan.

1. Choose a plan

After creating your business account, choose either the Free Trial (₹0 for 3 months) or the Monthly plan (₹99/month). See Pricing.

2. Accept the terms

You'll review and accept our Terms & Conditions before a plan is activated.

3. Pay securely (Monthly plan only)

For the Monthly plan, you're taken to a secure, hosted payment page from Cashfree, our payment gateway partner, to complete payment by UPI, card or netbanking.

4. Get instant confirmation

Once payment succeeds, the app confirms it immediately and activates (or extends) your subscription — no waiting, no manual approval.

What your subscription pays for

  • Access to every feature of the ChitNotes platform for your business account — groups, subscribers, auctions, collections and reports.
  • Your subscription is tied to your business account, not to a stored balance — there is nothing to "top up" or "spend down".
  • Money your business collects from its own subscribers (chit payments) is recorded in the app for your records — it is not processed, held, or moved by ChitNotes in any way.
Note on subscriber collections: The "Collections" feature in the app is a record-keeping tool for the payments your subscribers give you directly (cash, UPI, etc., collected by you). ChitNotes does not process, receive, or transmit those subscriber payments.

If your subscription lapses

If the Monthly plan isn't renewed before it expires (and the free trial period has ended), access to the platform's features is restricted until the subscription is renewed. Your data is not deleted when this happens — renewing restores full access.
