A Topmate alternative that keeps your whole fee
Topmate made selling your time easy in India: a profile with 1:1 calls, webinars and digital products, and no subscription. You pay through commission instead. Here's what it costs with today's numbers, where Topmate is still the better choice, and when a page you own is.

Topmate's pricing, checked
Per topmate.io/pricing on 2026-10-21: there's no upfront or recurring fee. Topmate keeps 10% of sales that come through your own profile or link and 20% of sales from new customers it finds for you through its marketplace. Creators earning above ₹10 lakh (or $20k) a month can ask for custom pricing.
That's a fair deal when Topmate brings you the buyer. It's a steeper one for bookings you'd have got anyway from your own LinkedIn post or newsletter. On ₹50,000 a month of calls from your own audience, 10% is ₹5,000 a month, or ₹60,000 a year.
Where Topmate is the better choice
- You want new buyers you don't have yet. The marketplace is the thing a personal page can't give you.
- Your offer is mostly webinars, group sessions or cohorts, which Topmate runs end to end.
- You're early and would rather pay a share of sales than any fixed fee.
Where featurd is the better choice
If most of your bookings come from people who already know you, a page you own costs less over a year. featurd takes 0% of sales. Paid products and sessions on Pro are charged through your own Stripe or Razorpay, so the money lands with you minus only the processor's fee, and Indian buyers can pay by UPI.
The page also does more than list services. Ivo drafts it from your LinkedIn or resume, so a buyer sees your experience, results and work before booking: the reason they'd pay you over someone else. Bookings go straight into Google Calendar, lead forms catch people who aren't ready to pay, and tracked links tell you when a specific prospect opened the page you sent.
Using both
Plenty of mentors keep a Topmate profile for marketplace discovery and send their own audience to featurd. If you do this, keep prices consistent across the two so nobody feels they paid more in one place.
Moving from Topmate
- Start featurd with your LinkedIn PDF or resume so Ivo drafts your experience.
- Paste your Topmate URL as a website; Ivo reads the public services and adds them.
- Recreate your calls as bookable services and connect Google Calendar.
- Swap the link in your LinkedIn, Instagram and newsletter once the page is live.
