Every other 'free' coaching app builder in India hits you with a setup fee, an APK-publishing fee, an annual contract, or a massive revenue share. Igniter is actually free to start — ₹0 to sign up, ₹0 monthly, no credit card. We earn only when you do: 5% on each course sale. If you never sell a course, you never pay us anything.
What 'free' actually means in the Indian market
When an Indian coach or institute owner searches coaching app kaise banaye, they usually land on three types of tools, and none of them are free in any honest sense:
None of these models work for a coach who wants to launch and start earning without putting money on the table first. Igniter's model is different: no free trial, no demo, no payment required to publish. You sign up, upload your logo, generate your branded APK, and start selling courses. The first ₹1 that ever leaves your bank account on Igniter is your 5% platform fee on a sale that has already happened.

How the 5% model works
We considered every possible pricing model when we built Igniter — subscription, per-student, per-feature, agency-style fixed fee. Each of them penalises coaches during their slowest months. A new UPSC coaching doing zero revenue in July still has to pay Classplus in July. A small home tutor who has 12 students in January and 3 in August still pays a flat fee in August.
5% on actual sale revenue is the only model that lines up with what coaches actually want: the platform should only earn when the coach earns. If you do ₹0 in sales this month, Igniter earns ₹0. If you do ₹10 lakh, we earn ₹50,000 — and you keep ₹9.5 lakh. No subscription, no tier, no per-student, no hidden overage, no "video storage exceeded" upsell. One number, one bill.
The 5% covers: app hosting, website hosting, DRM-protected video streaming (HLS with per-user tokens), mock test infrastructure, live class infrastructure (HD video, chat, polls), payment-gateway orchestration, SMS/WhatsApp notifications, AI doubt tutor usage, faculty accounts, parent dashboards, admin panel, and unlimited storage for notes and videos. Nothing is gated behind a tier.
Who this is actually free for
The 5% model, visualised
Five plans, each built on the one before it. A free website you set up yourself, your own Android app for a single lifetime payment, and AI products on your syllabus when you are ready. Never a monthly fee — only 4–5% when a student pays you.

FAQ
No catch. ₹0 to sign up, ₹0 monthly, ₹0 to publish on Play Store, ₹0 to accept Razorpay. We charge 5% only on actual course sales — when a student completes a payment. If you never sell a course, you never pay us a rupee.
Everything: branded Android app on Play Store, custom website, unlimited video hosting with DRM, live classes, mock tests, AI doubt tutor, faculty logins, parent dashboards, SMS/WhatsApp notifications, GST invoicing, payment orchestration. No tier, no gating, no per-student.
Classplus' free trial is 7–14 days, then you must pay ₹12K–50K/year to continue, regardless of whether you've made any sales. Igniter has no trial expiry — you can run a small coaching on Igniter for years doing ₹10K revenue and our total charge is ₹500.
AppsGeyser and Appy Pie are free to build a basic APK, but adding payment gateways, removing their branding, publishing without ads, or hosting protected video content requires monthly plans of ₹3,000–₹15,000. They also don't include live classes, mock tests, or an admin panel for coaching workflows.
No. Signup, logo upload, theme picker, and APK generation are all self-serve through a web dashboard. No coding, no developer, no agency. Most coaches go from signup to live Play Store app in under 24 hours.
₹25,000 total — that's 5% of ₹5L. Compared to Classplus (~₹30K subscription + revenue share = ₹60K–80K at that scale), you save roughly ₹35K–55K per year.
Every feature is unlocked from day 1 — there's nothing to upgrade to. Live classes, mock tests, DRM video, AI doubt tutor, parent dashboard, batch management — all included in the free plan, covered by the 5% sale fee.
You can export all your data (courses, students, sales, videos) and leave anytime. No exit fee, no lock-in, no notice period. Your APK stays live on Play Store for your students until you deprecate it.
