Local Indian creators,
in your inbox.
No agency. No commission.

CollabVue is a directory where Indian brands find and hire local creators directly. Creators list free. Brands browse free, spend a connect only when they want a creator’s email or WhatsApp number, then talk to the creator themselves and pay them themselves. There is no agency in the middle and no commission on whatever the two of you agree.

Yes, and it stays free. Signing up, building your profile, getting verified, appearing in brand search and receiving inquiries all cost you nothing. There is no listing fee, no renewal and no card required. Brands pay to reach you, and that is where our money comes from.

We removed it. Charging creators to be listed thinned out the directory, which made it less useful to brands, which meant fewer inquiries for the creators who did pay. So we changed who pays. Listing is free from now on, nobody is out of pocket, and nobody needs to do anything.

Brands buy a one-time pack of connects and spend them only on contact reveals. Packs are 30 connects for ₹749, 75 for ₹1,499, 175 for ₹2,999, and 1000 for ₹11,999. Every price includes GST, connects never expire, and there is no plan to cancel. Your first pack purchase also switches on the Pro tools permanently: CSV export, the outreach tracker, sorting by inquiry open rate and recent activity, and bulk inquiry to up to 10 saved creators.

A connect is a credit a brand spends to reach a creator. Searching, filtering, saving shortlists and reading full profiles is always free. You get 10 connects when you sign up. Cost is the base action times the creator tier: 1 connect for an inquiry, 2 for an email, 5 for phone and WhatsApp, multiplied by 1× for nano under 10K, 2× for micro from 10K to 50K, and 3× for mid from 50K to 100K. So emailing a nano creator is 2 connects. The WhatsApp option only appears when that number has been confirmed by OTP.

Yes. A job post costs ₹997, GST included, and that buys 30 days live and up to 25 applications. Creators apply to it free, so a brand reads real applications instead of guessing who is a fit. Nothing else changes: the brand spends connects only when it wants to reveal a contact, and we take 0% of whatever the two of you agree.

Yes. ₹3,997 buys 5 job posts, which works out at about ₹799 each instead of ₹997. The posts sit on your account until you write them, they do not expire, and each one is the same 30 days and 25 applications as a single post. You can still buy one post at a time if that is all you need.

Five things, all free and none of them buyable. Confirm your email. Confirm your phone with the OTP we send to your WhatsApp number. Prove the Instagram handle is yours by DMing a one-off code to @collabvuemarketplace from that account, or by putting the code in your bio if you would rather not DM, and a person checks it by hand either way. Complete the profile, which means photo, a bio of at least 80 characters, city, at least one niche, at least one platform with handle and self-reported follower count, your rate per post, and at least one portfolio link. Then confirm your rate and availability. Until all five are done, brands cannot see the profile.

No. A creator picks a CollabVue name and gets one public link, collabvue.com/@their-collabvue-name, which is a name on our site and not their Instagram handle. It is the link they put in a bio, and it does not change when they edit the profile. That page shows the bio, city, niches, rate card and self-reported follower counts for free. Full name, photo, the intro video, portfolio links, platform handles and contact details open only when a brand spends connects.

No. Every tool on our free tools page works without signing in: the creator rate estimator, the local campaign budget planner, the connect cost calculator, the campaign brief and WhatsApp outreach writers, the collab agreement, the media kit one-pager and the Instagram audience quality checker. Everything is in rupees, published prices include GST, and nothing you type is stored.

Because a directory full of eighteen-month-old profiles is useless to everyone. Every 90 days a creator taps once to confirm their rate and that they are still taking work. Miss it and the profile drops out of public search until they tap it. Nothing is deleted and nothing is charged. This is what replaced the old yearly fee: it selects for creators who are actually working rather than creators who could afford ₹2,000.

No. We never take a cut of what you agree with a creator. Brands pay for connects, creators can optionally buy a couple of extras, and that is the entire business. The rate you negotiate is the full amount the creator receives, with no markup and no middle layer. We also do not track what you do together after the introduction.

No. Every price we publish includes GST. The ₹749 pack costs ₹749. There is no setup fee, no platform fee, no convenience charge and no commission. Connects never expire, so nothing lapses if you go quiet for a few months.

Once a brand spends a connect to reveal a contact, you talk directly, usually on WhatsApp, because that is where deals actually close in India. You agree the deliverables, timeline and rate in the chat, then the brand pays the creator by UPI or bank transfer. No portal sits between you.

We are opening city by city and Mumbai is live first, with creators across food, fashion, fitness and finance. Other cities are rolling out. If yours is not live yet, sign up anyway and tell us what you are looking for, and we will point you at creators as they list.

No, and we are not going to sell one. Verification is earned through the five free checks, never bought, because a badge you can buy is worthless to the brand reading it. A creator can buy a featured placement, which is a clearly labelled slot at the top of search for 7 or 30 days. Everything else about ranking depends on a complete profile, opening inquiries, and being recently active.
