Why this number
What global directories leave out
Card forex markup
Lumen5 bills in USD, so an Indian card charges about 3.5% over the mid-market rate on every payment. This is the real, unavoidable India premium, and unlike GST it is not reclaimable.
18% GST (conditional)
18% GST applies, but it is not a flat add-on. A GST-registered business reclaims it as input credit, and foreign B2B is reverse-charged so the vendor bills no GST. Only an unregistered buyer bears the full 18%, and some Indian vendors already include it.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site. Pricing last verified Jul 29, 2026.

Lumen5 pricing, answered
- Can a GST-registered business reclaim GST on Lumen5?
- Yes. 18% GST applies, but a GST-registered business recovers it in full through the reverse-charge mechanism: you self-account for the tax on the import of service and claim it back as input tax credit. It nets to zero, so the real India premium is the forex markup, not the GST.
- Does Lumen5 charge a flat price in India?
- Lumen5's starting price is a flat monthly fee, not per user, so on this plan the cost does not multiply as your team grows.
- Does Lumen5 give a GST invoice in India?
- No. Lumen5 does not issue an Indian GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still recover the 18% through the reverse-charge mechanism: raise a self-invoice for the import of service and claim it as input tax credit in your GSTR-3B. There is no vendor-issued GST invoice, so this self-invoice is the only route.
- Does Lumen5 have a free plan?
- Yes, Lumen5 lists a free plan. Check the vendor pricing page for current usage limits before you rely on it.
- Are there cheaper alternatives to Lumen5 in India?
- Yes. DeepReel works out cheaper at about ₹418 a month for a registered business, roughly ₹17,835 a year less than Lumen5. Compare the full Marketing & Content / Video & Visual Creation options before deciding.
- Is Lumen5 cheaper billed annually in India?
- Yes. Paying annually is about 34% cheaper than month-to-month, saving roughly ₹12,024 a year on the Basic plan. Use the billing toggle in the plan table above to compare each plan's monthly and annual rate.
