On the Indian storefront, AI assistants bill as flat monthly subscriptions, and most lock the paid tier behind a card that matches your billing country. In practice UPI autopay via GPay, PhonePe or Paytm handles renewals smoothly, and RuPay debit works where plain cards don't.

How to subscribe

- 2Subscribe through the web app rather than the phone app so you can use UPI autopay through GPay, PhonePe or Paytm, RuPay/Visa debit cards, and wallet balance instead of being forced through an app-store cut.
- 3Linking UPI beats saving a card, since mandates renew without card-expiry drama.
- 4Watch the first renewal email closely — AI plans have shifted prices mid-cycle more than once in 2026.
