Wait, so how does HelpSathi make money?
Transparency is our core value. We do not charge students any platform fees or markups. Instead, we take a standard commission from the mentor's earnings to maintain the platform, cover secure payment processing, and provide 24/7 support.
The rate you see on a mentor's profile is exactly the rate you pay.
HelpSathi Wallet & Billing Guarantee
Safe, instant, and frictionless payments designed with complete student safety in mind.
Pay-As-You-Go Wallet
Recharge your account wallet once with any amount (min ₹100) using UPI or Cards. Use it seamlessly across multiple mentors.
Fair Billing Timer
For pay-per-minute chats, billing is tracked down to the exact second and starts ONLY when your mentor responds. You never pay for waiting time.
100% Escrow & Auto-Refund
If a scheduled video session is cancelled or a mentor does not show up, 100% of your funds are credited back to your wallet instantly.
