Pullsy Store vs Rigi

Rigi was an Indian paid-community platform built largely around finance creators. Inc42 reported in May 2025 that it cut around 60% of staff after SEBI's action on unregistered finfluencers and pivoted to beauty and lifestyle video. No current creator rate card could be verified. Pullsy Store is ₹1,299 a month with 0% commission.

This is not a normal comparison, because Rigi is not a normal competitor any more. It built paid WhatsApp and Telegram communities for Indian creators — finance creators above all — and it did renewals early and well.

Then the ground moved. Inc42 reported in May 2025 that Rigi cut around 60% of its staff after SEBI's action on unregistered finfluencers, and pivoted to a beauty and lifestyle video product. We could not find a current creator-side rate card, so no Rigi figure is printed on this page.

If your community still runs on Rigi, the question is not which is cheaper. It is whether the platform your income sits on is still pointed at you.

What Pullsy Store charges 🏪

₹ 1,299 a month, and 0% of every sale. There is one paid plan — plus a Free plan for a store that takes no payments — with no volume tier and no rate that improves if you negotiate; there is nothing to negotiate about. Payments settle through a merchant account in your own name, so the gateway's charge is yours and ours is ₹ 1,299.

Where Rigi is the better choice 🤝

  • Paid WhatsApp and Telegram communities with renewals were its strongest feature and it did them early.
  • Creators who are still on it report the community tooling itself works.

If Rigi still serves your community well and your members are happy, moving has a real cost — every paid member has to re-subscribe somewhere new. Stay while it works, and keep an export of your member list current so that leaving is a decision rather than an emergency.

The difference that is not a percentage

Most platforms in this market are the merchant. The buyer pays them, their provider settles to their account, and you are paid afterwards on a schedule they publish.

On Pullsy Store you are the merchant. A five-minute verification — PAN, Aadhaar, a bank account in your own name — leaves you holding your own merchant account, and the payment gateway settles to your bank directly, on its own cycle. We never hold the money, which means we could not delay it if we wanted to.

Why that matters on a bad day

Worth asking before you move 🤔

Is Rigi still working for creators?

Inc42 reported in May 2025 that Rigi cut around 60% of staff and pivoted to beauty and lifestyle video after SEBI's action on unregistered finfluencers. Creators still on it report the community tooling works; check Rigi directly for its current creator terms.

What does Rigi charge?

We could not verify a current creator-side rate card for Rigi, so no figure is quoted here. Pullsy Store's price is ₹1,299 a month and 0% of every sale, which is the same at any volume.

How do I move a paid community off Rigi?

Export your member list, set up the paid community on the new platform, and ask members to subscribe there before their Rigi renewal. Recurring payments cannot be transferred between platforms — each member has to authorise the new mandate themselves.
