Their subscription is cheaper. Read the line about the cut of every sale before you decide.
Credit where it is due: at ₹1,500 a year, Creator Lane has the cheapest subscription in this category, and if your sales happen away from their store that is very hard to argue with. The part worth reading carefully is on their own pricing page — 10% of every sale on the free plan, 5% on Pro. On ₹1,00,000 of monthly sales that is ₹10,000 or ₹5,125. ViralDM takes nothing from a sale, because the buyer pays your UPI directly and the money never passes through us; the plan is ₹499 a month whatever you sell. The DM itself also does more here: 9 Indian languages detected from what the follower typed, a UPI screenshot read and matched to the order, an AI phone call to a lead who leaves a number, and 56 tools over MCP.

The subscription is: ₹1,500 a year against ₹499 a month. Whether the total is cheaper depends entirely on how much you sell through their store, because their own pricing page charges 10% of every sale on the free plan and 5% on Pro. Sell ₹1,00,000 in a month and that is ₹10,000 or ₹5,125; ViralDM would be ₹499. Sell nothing through the store and their fee is zero.
Because the money never reaches us. The buyer pays a UPI link straight into your own account and sends the screenshot; ViralDM reads the amount, UTR and time and confirms the order. There is no gateway in the middle to take a cut, which also means settlement is instant rather than in two days.
When your sales happen somewhere else — your own site, offline, or a marketplace — so the per-sale fee never applies, and you want the cheapest possible subscription. Say that plainly rather than discovering it on an invoice.
