QKAP Free vs Premium: Which Plan Do You Actually Need?

Most creators can start on QKAP Free and stay there for a while: it includes numbered posts with products, search, coupon codes, deal countdowns, short links, a QR code and 7-day analytics, with one page and up to 30 live posts. QKAP Premium, billed monthly or yearly at a price set for your country, is worth it once you outgrow those limits, want longer analytics or more than one page, or need time-savers like scheduling, bulk import and automatic affiliate tags. Neither plan takes a commission on your affiliate earnings.

Key takeaways

• The free plan covers the core job: a numbered, shoppable grid followers can search by post number.
• Free limits are 1 page, 30 live posts, 3 collections, 3 custom links, 2 themes and 7 days of analytics, with QKAP branding shown.
• Premium lets one account run up to 5 pages, for example one per niche or brand.
• Premium is billed monthly or yearly in your local currency, taxes included, with a 7-day refund window.
• Upgrade when a specific limit or missing tool is costing you time or clarity, not just because Premium exists.
• QKAP takes 0% commission on either plan; your commissions go straight from the store or program to you.

What do you get on the free plan?

The free plan is not a trial. It is a working page you can use indefinitely. You get:

• A public page at qkap.app/yourname laid out like an Instagram-style grid.
• Numbered posts (#1, #2, #23…) with products showing title, image, price, original price, store and coupon code.
• Auto-fill from a pasted product link where the store allows it, with Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Nykaa, Meesho and many more auto-detected.
• Search and category filters, so followers can type a post number like #23.
• Deal countdowns and tap-to-copy coupon codes.
• A wishlist followers can use to save products on their phone.
• Short links for each post with source tags, and a QR code for your page.
• Up to 3 collections as story-style highlights and 3 custom links.
• Classic and Midnight themes, accent colour, 4 fonts, header, layout and button style options.
• Analytics for the last 7 days: page views, visitors, product clicks, click rate, top products and traffic sources.
• Posts CSV export.

If you post a few product reels a week and refresh older posts, 30 live posts is often enough to begin. See getting started with QKAP for the setup steps.

What does Premium add?

Premium also includes tools that are not about limits at all:

• Post scheduling so posts go live at a set time, handy when a sale opens at midnight.
• Affiliate tag rules that auto-add your affiliate tags and Amazon sub-tags at redirect. Your stored links are never edited. The affiliate tag rules guide explains how this works.
• Deal-alert subscribers, so followers can sign up to hear about deals.
• Bulk import from a CSV or a list of URLs.
• Broken-link alerts to flag links that stop working.
• Priority support.

How much does Premium cost?

Premium is billed monthly or yearly. Dodo Payments, which handles billing, sets the price for each country and charges in your local currency with taxes such as GST included. There is a 7-day refund on Premium, so you can try it around a busy week and decide. Check the pricing page for the current details before you subscribe.

The pricing page shows both prices for your country; compare the yearly price with twelve monthly payments and the yearly plan comes out noticeably cheaper if you know you'll use it all year. Monthly makes sense if you only need Premium around sale seasons or want to test it first.

Signs you should stay on Free

Free is the right call if most of these are true:

• You have fewer than 30 posts you actually want live.
• You check your numbers weekly, so 7 days of analytics covers it.
• Three collections (say, "Skincare", "Under ₹999" and "Diwali picks") are enough.
• You add products one at a time and don't mind pasting your own tagged links.
• The QKAP branding doesn't bother you.

There's no penalty for staying free. Spend the energy on better content and clearer calls to action instead.

Signs you should upgrade

Upgrade when a limit or missing tool causes a real problem. Common triggers:

You keep archiving posts you'd rather keep

If you're constantly choosing which posts to take down, the 30-post limit is shaping your page more than your content is.

You want to compare months, not weeks

Seven days can't tell you whether Diwali content beat last month's, or which hours your followers shop. Longer ranges, the best-hours heatmap and CSV export help here. Our QKAP analytics guide explains what each metric means.

You forget affiliate tags or juggle sub-tags

If you paste links from phones, apps and brand emails, tag rules stop untagged links slipping through at redirect. If you use Amazon sub-tags to see which post earned what, rules can add them for you.

You post big batches around sales

Bulk import and scheduling save the most time when you're preparing dozens of products before Big Billion Days or Prime Day.

You want the page to feel fully yours

Extra themes, a banner image and hiding QKAP branding matter if your page doubles as a brand presence for pitches. See customising your QKAP page for what each option changes.

A simple way to decide

1. Use Free for two to four weeks.
2. Write down every time you hit a limit or wished for a feature.
3. If the list includes things Premium solves and they come up weekly, try a month of Premium.
4. Use the 7-day refund window if it doesn't earn its place.

Remember that Premium doesn't make a reel perform better or guarantee more sales. It saves time, adds room and gives you better data. Whether that's worth the monthly price depends on how much you post and how seriously you track results.
