A note on pricing in dollars
Kajabi prices its plans in US dollars, so the cost you pay in rupees moves with the exchange rate, and a foreign-currency card payment may add bank charges. Synappses is priced in rupees with a GST invoice on every bill, and charges 0% commission on every plan. See the Synappses plans for what each tier includes.
