Free and paid membership, term by term
What lasts, renews, pauses and ends, set side by side. Paid membership never includes a dedicated matchmaker: that is what Select, Reserve and Luxe are for.
| Term | Free membership | Paid membership |
|---|---|---|
| Joining, your profile and your verification | Free. There is nothing to pay and no card to give. | Included, exactly as it is on free membership. |
| How long it lasts | Free membership never runs out, and no payment is ever due. | It runs for the term you pay for. |
| Who can see you | Verified Evara members only. Not the public, and not search engines. | The same. |
| Interests other people send you | No limit on how many you receive. | No limit on how many you receive. |
| When you and another member match | You both see the full profile, and you can message each other at no cost. | The same. |
| A dedicated matchmaker | Not included. | Not included on membership either. Select, Reserve and Luxe are the services that include one. |
| Pausing | You can hide your profile at any time, and nothing is charged. | You can hide your profile. Billing carries on and the term keeps running. |
| Renewal | There is nothing to renew. | A monthly membership renews until you turn it off. The 3, 6 and 12 month terms and lifetime do not renew. |
| Cancelling | There is nothing to cancel. | Turn off renewal. Your membership stays open to the end of the term you have paid for. |
| Unused time | There is none to lose. | Not refunded and not carried over. |
| Changing plan | There is nothing to change. | You cannot switch part way through a term. You take the new plan when the current one ends. |
Select, Reserve and Luxe, side by side

All prices inclusive of 18% GST.
Reserve, two ways to pay
Reserve is one total, paid in two parts: a registration, then a second part at the Roka. There are two options, a 12 month term or until marriage, and the total is the same for both. Choose and pay on the Reserve page.
| 12 months | Until marriage | |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | ₹1,11,000 | ₹1,51,000 |
| At the Roka | ₹1,40,000 | ₹1,00,000 |
| Total | ₹2,51,000 | ₹2,51,000 |
| If there is no Roka | If the 12 months end with no Roka, you choose: close the plan with nothing more due (the registration is not refunded), or move to the until-marriage option by paying the ₹40,000 difference. | Until-married plans have no time limit. |
The second part is due at a Roka with a family Evara introduced.

How matchmaking services charge in India, five models
Matchmaking services charge in one of five ways. Whichever you are considering, these are the questions to put to it before you pay.
| Model | How you pay | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Free app | Nothing to join. Paying unlocks messaging or contact details. | What stays free, and what renews on its own? |
| Paid membership | A fixed price for a term. No person is assigned. | Does it auto renew, and how do we stop it? |
| Assisted plan | A higher fixed price for a term, with a relationship manager. | How many families does that person look after? |
| Registration and success fee | Part paid to register, the rest at an engagement or Roka. | Exactly what counts as success, in writing? |
| By invitation | Quoted privately, often for high-profile families. | What is promised, and for how long? |
Evara uses the first four. Membership is free to join with paid terms, Select is a fixed term with a relationship manager, and Reserve is one total paid in two parts. Luxe, the fifth, is by invitation.
Who Evara suits, and who it does not
Plainly, before you spend anything.
| Evara suits you if | Look elsewhere if | |
|---|---|---|
| Who searches | You want matches chosen for you, or a person running the search. | You want to scroll and filter a very large pool yourself. |
| Privacy | You would rather not have a public profile. | You want the widest possible visibility. |
| Budget | You can start free, and pay for a matchmaker only if you want one. | Any spend at all is out of reach this year. |
| Where you are | You live in India or abroad and want a Delhi team you can visit. | You need a local agent who visits your home city. |
