₹1,155/mo if you can't reclaim GST
Novastart advertises $10/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹979 a month (₹11,748/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, and it reclaims GST as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹1,155 a month with 18% GST on top.
Sticker price on the left, and the India cost per month for a GST-registered business on the right, after the card forex markup. GST is reclaimable input credit if you are registered.
Stays free with no stated time limit. All apps; limited to 1 folder, 2 canvases and 4 windows per canvas; no Team Collaboration; AI agents available but paid per use from credits.
Charged per month. All apps; unlimited folders, canvases and windows; no Team Collaboration; AI agents paid per use from credits. No annual price is shown.
Charged per month. Everything in Pro plus Team Collaboration (shared canvases and folders with Owner and Editor roles). The site does not say whether the price is per user or whether every collaborator needs their own Team plan. No annual price is shown.
Free for students, teachers and staff at partner universities while they hold a current academic email, reconfirmed once a year. Unlimited folders, canvases and windows plus shared canvases; AI agents still paid per use from credits.
Each AI agent use costs 0.02 US dollars, drawn from prepaid credits bought in amounts of 25 US dollars or more. Available on every plan and billed separately from the plan.
Plans are listed in US dollars and the pricing page says Pro and Team are charged per month; no annual option was shown, and the site does not say whether Team is priced per user. AI agent use is billed separately on every plan from prepaid credits that must be bought in amounts at or above a minimum, and the site never defines what counts as one agent use, so the total bill is hard to predict. The site has no Terms of Service page and no refund policy, does not say whether prices include tax, does not mention GST invoices, and does not name its payment provider beyond saying card numbers are handled by one; an Education plan is free for students, teachers and staff at partner universities with an academic email.
Novastart 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 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 Oct 22, 2026.
