Before you pay
One-time, monthly or yearly — and the rules that come with each
In the dashboard, Membership shows three tabs: One-time, Monthly and Yearly. Each option lists what it includes and what it does not, its caps — the fastest monitoring schedule, how many sources are checked per run, manual scan credits, how long history is kept and which report formats you can export — and the price before tax. A dedicated checkout then shows the price, the GST line and the total, the renewal rule and the cancellation and refund terms, and asks you to confirm.
- Renewal. One-time purchases never renew. Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
- Cancellation. Cancel from Billing at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal and the plan stays active until the end of the period already paid for. There is no cancellation fee.
- Refunds. If a payment is taken but not confirmed, or taken twice, the amount that should not have been charged is refunded. Other cases follow the draft refund and cancellation policy, pending counsel review.
- Lifecycle. A plan is pending until the payment provider confirms it, then active. A failed renewal moves it to past due, then a short grace period with features still on, then suspended until you renew.
- Not in any plan. Specialist services — legal work, managed outreach and consultations — are quoted separately, with their own terms, before you approve them.

How billing works
Credits, schedules and seats, explained
Scan credits. One credit is used each time Spy Monk runs an audit or a monitoring run for an entity. Every plan includes a monthly allowance; extra credits cost ₹199 each. When a workspace runs out, scheduled runs are held and you are told — nothing runs behind your back and nothing is skipped silently. A manual scan reserves a credit before it starts, uses it when the scan completes, and returns it automatically if the scan fails for a technical reason on our side.
Schedules. Your plan sets the fastest schedule a monitoring project can use: weekly on Starter, daily on Pro and Business. Any paid plan can run monthly, and you can start a run manually whenever you have credits. Match the schedule to your allowance: a daily project uses about thirty credits a month.
Entities and projects. An entity is a person, brand, product, business, website, app or URL. Starter watches one; Pro three; Business ten. Monitoring projects are per entity and limited in the same way.
Seats and roles. Seats are people. Pro has five, Business twenty. Each person has a role — Owner, Admin, Analyst or Viewer — and only Admins and Owners can record approvals or change billing.
Payment. Checkout runs through Razorpay or Paytm. Nothing activates until the gateway confirms the payment, and every invoice is numbered from a continuous series. Card and UPI details never reach Spy Monk.
In every plan
What you get whichever plan you choose
Clear scope and transparent pricing
What a plan includes is written down before you pay and enforced by the platform afterwards. No surprise add-ons.
Visible source coverage
Every audit and run lists which sources were covered and which were not, on screen and in the PDF.
Approval before any external step
No report, request or reply leaves Spy Monk without a recorded approval from an authorised member.
A case timeline that records everything
Every status change, note, evidence file and approval is logged with who and when.
Refund and cancellation information up front
Cancel from Billing at any time; the draft refund and cancellation policy is linked before you pay.
A person when it is complex
Billing, security and grievance channels are staffed by people, with timelines set out on the grievance page.
Choosing
Which plan fits which situation
Only curious? Stay on Free. Run the audit, read the coverage table, download the PDF. Many people stop here with a clearer picture.
An individual, a professional or a small practice that wants to be told when something new appears: Starter — one entity, weekly monitoring, cases for the occasional review or article that needs a response.
A clinic, a brand, a creator or a growing business with a few names to protect and a small team: Pro — three entities, daily monitoring, five seats, and the premium audit tier.
A corporate group, an institution or an agency with many brands and people involved: Business — ten entities, twenty seats, 150 credits and API access. Agencies run several client workspaces today; white-label delivery is pending feasibility, so ask before you plan around it.
If you are unsure, start one tier lower than you think. Upgrading is immediate; the only thing you lose by waiting is a week or two of monitoring history.
Questions
Billing questions
Is the free audit really free?
Yes. The free plan includes one entity and one scan credit a month, with the full coverage table and PDF. No card is required to create an account or run it.
Are prices inclusive of GST?
No. Prices are in INR and exclusive of GST. The checkout screen shows the price, the GST line and the total before you confirm, and the invoice shows the same breakdown. The prices on this page are illustrative until Drive Digital publishes final prices.
Why are the prices marked illustrative?
Drive Digital has not yet published final prices; the figures here are configuration proposals. We show them so you can judge what each plan includes, but we do not present them as published prices, and there are no struck-through "was" prices or limited-time discounts. Whatever you would pay is shown at checkout before you confirm.
What is a one-time purchase?
Some work is bought once — for example extra scan credits or a defined audit — rather than as a plan. A one-time purchase does not renew. Its price, GST and what it includes are shown at checkout, like a plan's.
Can I cancel?
Yes, from Billing at any time. As drafted, cancellation stops the next renewal and your plan stays active until the end of the period already paid for. The refund and cancellation policy is a draft pending legal review and is linked here so you can read it before paying.
What happens when I run out of scan credits?
Scheduled runs are held, the project is marked as awaiting credits and you receive a notification that cannot be muted. Buy credits or upgrade and the schedule resumes; nothing is skipped silently.
Do unused credits roll over?
The monthly allowance is per month. Purchased extra credits are tracked in the same ledger; how long they remain valid is one of the items being confirmed with counsel and finance in the draft refund policy.
Can I pay yearly?
Yes. The illustrative yearly figures are ten times the monthly ones. A yearly plan renews once a year until you cancel; early cancellation of a yearly plan is addressed in the draft refund policy, which is linked before you pay.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Checkout runs through Razorpay or Paytm, with the methods they support in India — cards, UPI, net banking and wallets as available. Spy Monk never stores card or UPI details.
Can I book a consultation?
Yes, from Help → Book a consultation in the dashboard. A consultation is quoted separately by the professional, with its own reschedule and cancellation terms; you approve the fee before anything is charged, and it is never part of a plan. No consultation can promise an outcome. Managed outreach services are not offered in this version.
