Straight answers.
Is Priority Access required to get hired? +
No. Free members apply for and win gigs every week. Priority helps when you are applying at volume or competing on a busy board.
How do I pay the ₹99? +
UPI autopay, cards and net banking, through our payment partner. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Can I cancel? +
Any time, from the app. Access runs to the end of the paid month and does not renew. See the refund policy for the first-week refund window.
Does Initi8Now take a cut of my earnings? +
No. The rate on the listing is the rate you receive. Our fee sits on the employer side.
When does pricing go live? +
Priority Access and employer fees start at public launch. Everything is free during early access.
