The Cost Math
What ₹48,000 a Year Replaces. What $2,400 a Year Replaces.
A well-run practice needs a modern website, content systems, intake and billing tooling, and someone to keep it all running. Built and staffed in-house, that costs a multiple of the subscription. Here's the cost, line by line. Every figure is cost-of-ownership — nothing here is a promise about client matters or revenue.

Illustrative in-house costs for a small firm; your numbers will differ. People+Plan is compared separately against recruiter fees (typically 8.33% of first-year CTC) rather than a subscription.
