5 stars · ConsultationWhy Not Topmate? Why Setav?
Build Your Own Storefront on Your Own Terms
Topmate gives professionals a simple way to list services and accept bookings, but its revenue-share model means the amount you pay increases as your business earns more. Setav is built around giving you more control over both your revenue and your client relationships.
Keep More of What You Earn
Setav charges no commission on your bookings. Instead of giving up a percentage of every sale, you can choose Setav's free plan or move to a fixed paid subscription as your needs grow.
Build Complete Client Profiles
Use custom intake forms to collect information before appointments, including text, numbers, multiple-choice answers and attachments. Keep appointments, forms, tasks, notes, files and conversations organised in a shared client space.
Manage More Than Just Appointments
Your relationship with a client does not end when a call ends. Setav lets you create one-time, recurring and untimed tasks, share payment requests, store client information and keep follow-up activities connected to each client.
Create Your Own Service Structure
Set your own service prices and durations instead of relying on a time-selling model alone. Offer consultations, coaching sessions, packages or other services based on how you actually work with clients.
Accept Payments Directly
Setav supports online payments, including native UPI for Indian customers, along with cards and other standard payment methods. Money can settle directly into your linked bank account rather than requiring a separate withdrawal process.
Turn Your Audience Into Your Own Business
Share your Setav storefront through social media, WhatsApp, QR codes and other channels. You can build around the audience you already have instead of depending on a marketplace to generate every customer.
Loved by India's Creators, Professionals & Service Providers
Don't take our word for it, hear from the creators who run their entire business on Setav.
Setav transformed how I run my practice. My clients book consultations and pay via UPI directly from my bio link. I went from managing 5 clients a week to 25+. The booking calendar alone saved me 10 hours a week.
Dr. Priya Sharma
Nutritionist & Wellness Coach · MumbaiAs an astrologer, I needed a way for clients to book kundli readings and pay instantly. Setav gave me exactly that. My revenue doubled in 3 months because clients can now book 24/7 without WhatsApp back-and-forth.
Rahul Verma
Vedic Astrologer · DelhiI have 200K Instagram followers and used Linktree before. Setav is SO much better for Indian creators. UPI payments, Hindi support, and the storefront looks incredible. My conversion rate jumped 3x.

What Setav Does Better for Consultants, Coaches & Mentors
Stop Paying More Every Time Your Business Grows
With a percentage-based model, your platform cost automatically increases when your revenue increases. Setav gives you a free plan and a fixed-subscription option instead, so your platform cost does not rise with every additional booking.
Make Every Client Interaction More Organised
Collect the information you need before the meeting, keep notes and files together, assign tasks and continue the conversation from a shared client space. You do not have to rely on scattered WhatsApp messages or separate productivity tools.
Turn One-Time Calls Into Ongoing Engagement
A consultation can be the start of a longer relationship. Setav supports recurring tasks, follow-ups, payment requests and client-side task visibility, making it easier to manage coaching, mentoring and other ongoing services.
Give Clients a Complete Booking Experience
Clients can discover your services, view pricing and duration, choose an available slot and complete payment through your storefront. This creates a more structured journey than simply directing someone to a profile and then handling the rest elsewhere.
Build Around Your Own Brand and Audience
Your Setav storefront can become the destination you share everywhere. Use your Instagram bio, WhatsApp, YouTube, QR codes or website to drive people to your own service business instead of relying on a marketplace for visibility.
