Brand deals, invoices and GST for YouTubers
Hi everyone,
Just launched CreatorKhata — a business operations app for Indian YouTubers in the 50k-500k subscriber tier.
The problem I kept seeing: creators at this stage do 2-3 brand deals a month, but the back-office around those deals
is held together with Notion, WhatsApp, Excel, and a CA they only call at quarter-end. The cost is real — typical
leakage is Rs 50k to Rs 2L per year, mostly from:
- Payments that go 60-90 days past the agreed date because there's no GST invoice on file
- Contracts with buried perpetual-usage or exclusivity clauses
- GST registration that gets missed past the Rs 20L turnover threshold
- TDS deducted by brands that never gets reconciled at year-end
CreatorKhata is one app for the full pitch-to-payment flow — brand outreach, contract red-flag scanning, GST-compliant
invoicing, payment + TDS tracking, rate cards, media kits. The free plan covers the content workflow (deals, posts,
ideas, AI captions); the PRO plan unlocks the business operations side.
We just shipped a launch promo — PRO is free for everyone till 22 August 2026, no credit card required.
Tech: Spring Boot + React, Supabase Postgres, deployed on Render + Vercel. Solo founder, bootstrapped.
Would love feedback from this community — especially on:
1. Indian-market pricing — we settled on ₹199/mo or ₹1,799/yr. In the right zone?
2. The "free PRO for everyone for 3 months" launch lever — bold, or too generous?
3. Distribution beyond directories + blog SEO — what worked for you?
