Why Nanbu, when your audience is already elsewhere

The honest comparison, next to the platforms you already know. Every number here is theirs, checked against their own pages.

Getting paid in India

Elsewhere

Dollar pricing and card checkouts many people cannot complete. Patreon cannot take UPI at all, and pays creators in dollars days later.

Rupee prices, UPI AutoPay, and weekly payouts straight to your own UPI ID.

Who your people belong to

Elsewhere

Your audience lives inside someone else's app, reachable only on that platform's terms.

Your own page at nanbu.in/yourname. The relationship is yours, by name, and it comes with you.

Whether your work reaches them

Elsewhere

Reach is rationed by a ranking. Most of your audience never sees a given post.

Every post and update reaches every member entitled to it, in the order you shared it.

The platform's cut

Elsewhere

YouTube keeps 30 percent of memberships. Patreon takes 10 percent plus card fees. Buy Me a Coffee takes 5. Instagram charges nothing today.

0 percent for your first 60 days as a Founding Creator, then 10 percent for three years, and 15 after that.

Where you can start

Elsewhere

Instagram asks for an audience of 10,000 before you can even switch subscriptions on.

Apply at any size. A person reviews your page, and you go live at nanbu.in/yourname.

The honest part: Nanbu will not hand you an audience. YouTube and Instagram can put you in front of strangers; that is their strength, and if that is what you need, use them. Nanbu is the other half - the home where the people who already love your work gather. Bring them, and we help you keep them close.

No monthly fee. Nanbu earns only when you do.

One rate, moving in your favor the earlier you arrive. Here is the whole of it.

  1. Founding Creator

    0%

    Your first 60 days

    Nanbu takes nothing while you find your footing.

  2. 10%

    The three years after

    Locked to the day you are approved. It cannot be quietly raised.

  3. 15%

    Standard, after that

    The ordinary rate once your founding window ends.

The first 1,000 creators on Nanbu are Founding Creators, automatically. Razorpay's payment processing is charged separately, at cost. Every transaction stores the exact rate applied to it, so a rate you were promised can never be quietly rewritten later. Founding Creators also keep permanent featured placement wherever creators are discovered on Nanbu.

Your work stays yours to give

You put real work behind the membership. Protecting it is not a setting you switch on - it is how Nanbu is built, all the way down.

Nothing goes live unchecked

Every image and video is scanned before a single member can see it. Anything flagged waits for a person to review it. It is also what keeps Nanbu a place payment partners trust.

Only your members can open it

Members-only work is handed out through private links that expire, and only after Nanbu checks the viewer is entitled to it. There is no public file address for anyone to pass around.

Real creators, real members

A person reviews every creator before their page goes live, and direct messages open only for paying members you choose to let in. No drive-by storefronts, no flood of strangers.

You decide what is free

Free when you want it, members-only when it matters. Leave a circle and the gated work quietly closes again - access lasts exactly as long as the membership does.

For supporters

Stand behind a creator you believe in

Join a creator's circle from ₹49 a month over UPI, or leave a one-time tip from ₹9 with a note in your own words. You get posts, updates, and messages made for members - straight from the creator, with no ads in between.

Straight from the creator

Posts, updates, and messages made for members - direct from the creator, with no ads and no ranking in between.

Only real creators

A person reviews every creator before their page goes live, so you only ever join someone real and verified.

Most of it reaches them

The creator keeps most of what you pay. Nanbu's share is small and published, never hidden in the price.

Cancel anytime

Leave from your own Settings whenever you like. Your access lasts through the period you already paid for.

None of this is a policy on a page - it's built into how Nanbu works. Payments are processed by Razorpay over UPI AutoPay.

From the team

Why Nanbu exists

We started Nanbu because of a gap we couldn't stop seeing.

India is full of extraordinary creators, each with people who genuinely love their work. But the global membership platforms were never built for India. Dollar pricing, card-first checkouts, payouts that struggle to reach an Indian bank. Support that should flow directly mostly doesn't flow at all.

So we built something simple. Your people gather in one home around you, and whatever you share reaches every one of them. The bond comes first; the support follows it, straight to you, in rupees. And every number here is real - we don't invent counts, ever.

The name is the brief. Nanbu comes from nanban, friend. We're at the very beginning, and we'd love for you to be early here.

Ask us anything
What does Nanbu cost?

Nothing up front, and no monthly fee. Nanbu keeps a flat share of what your members pay you: 15% standard - and Nanbu's first 1,000 creators are Founding Creators automatically, paying 0% for their first 60 days and then 10% for three years. Razorpay's payment processing is charged separately, at cost. Every transaction records the exact rate applied to it, so the rate you were promised can never be quietly rewritten.

How and when do I get paid?

Weekly. Your membership and tip earnings are paid out to your UPI ID on a weekly cycle, and your payout history lives on Creator Home.

What do my members pay with?

UPI AutoPay, processed by Razorpay. A member approves the mandate once, the membership renews monthly, and they can cancel anytime from their own Settings - access lasts through the period already paid for.

What can I offer my members?

One membership, priced by you, that unlocks everything exclusive: members-only posts - photos, videos, voice notes, writing - updates that reach every member at once, and direct messages when you choose to include them. You can run an offer on it, and one-time tips with a personal note start at just ₹9.

Who can create on Nanbu?

Any Indian creator - musicians, educators, comedians, artists, writers. You'll verify a YouTube channel during the application, and a person reviews every application before a page goes live, so members only ever meet real, verified creators.

Your people are ready to stand behind you

One account covers both sides: every Nanbu account can support creators, and any account can apply to become one, from Settings, whenever you're ready.
