All prices are in Indian rupees and include GST. One flat annual fee, no premium tiers, no ads.

Why it is priced this way

At ₹299 a year (less than ₹1 a day) for academics and ₹99 for undergraduate students, membership costs far less than a single processing fee charged by a paid journal, and less than most Indian academic societies charge. The fee is flat: there are no premium tiers that lock key features.

What the fee funds

  • Verifying every member’s academic identity
  • Data handling and privacy compliance under the DPDP Act, 2023
  • Checking partner journals and investigating member reports
  • Finding, checking and emailing opportunities
  • CollabCite’s own research activity
