MOA Pro explained: everything in the ₹399 plan, and who it is for

MOA Pro is the one paid plan on Member of Architecture. It costs ₹99 + GST for your first month, then ₹399 + GST a month, paid through Razorpay by UPI Autopay or card, and you can cancel anytime. On top of the free profile, it adds regional featuring, 60 city promotion credits a month, in-depth analytics, unlimited projects, a premium project theme, job posts, a team of up to 20, AI credits for when MOA's AI tools launch, and a monthly article about your studio. Here is each part in plain words, and who is better off staying on free.

The short version

There are two plans, Free and Pro, and no tiers in between. The Pro page puts it simply: "One plan. Everything included." Free gives you a working portfolio and lets clients contact you without MOA taking a cut. Pro is for practices that want their work placed in front of more people in particular places, want to see what is being looked at, or run a studio with staff and hiring.

What the free plan already gives you

Before deciding on Pro, it helps to know what costs nothing. According to the comparison table on the Pro page, every architect and interior designer on MOA gets:

• A professional profile and portfolio. A page for your practice and your work.
• Commission-free client inquiries. Clients can contact you through MOA, and MOA takes no commission on that work.
• Up to 5 project uploads. Enough to show a focused selection of your best work.

In the same table, profile analytics, regional featuring, promotion, premium themes, job posts, team members, AI credits and the monthly article are listed in the Pro column only.

For many freshers and new practices, five strong projects is a sensible portfolio anyway. Our guides on building a strong MOA profile and publishing projects on MOA cover how to make those five count.

Price and payment

With 18% GST added, the first month comes to ₹116.82 and each month after to ₹470.82. That is our arithmetic from the listed prices; the checkout shows the exact total before you pay.

Razorpay is the payment gateway. Its documentation describes Razorpay Subscriptions as a way to charge customers automatically at regular intervals, by card or by UPI AutoPay through the major UPI apps. Razorpay's UPI recurring payments FAQ also says customers can pause or cancel a UPI mandate from their UPI app, and that a pre-debit notification goes out 24 hours before each payment. To stop Pro, though, the route MOA's FAQ gives is the subscription settings on your profile, so use that.

When you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the month you have paid for. MOA's Refunds and Cancellation Policy adds that subscription cancellations take effect at the end of the billing period, and that partial periods are not refunded.

Every Pro feature, in plain words

1. Featured in your region

What it does: Pro studios are shown to people browsing MOA from the same state, in the "Architects in your region" section of their home page. The page says this is rotated fairly every day, so no single studio holds the spot every day.

Example, not a result: a two-person interior studio in Kochi goes Pro. Someone in Kerala who opens MOA's home page may see the studio in that section on some days, alongside other Kerala Pro studios on others.

2. Promote your profile and projects in the cities you choose

What it does: you get 60 credits a month to put your profile, or any one of your projects, in front of people browsing from up to three cities you choose, on the dates you choose. One credit is one city for one day.

The arithmetic is simple. Three cities for 20 days uses all 60. One city every day of a 30-day month uses 30. The Pro page does not say whether unused credits carry over, so plan to use them within the month.

Example, not a result: a Pune designer has just finished a 3BHK in Baner and wants work in Mumbai too. They promote that project in Pune and Mumbai on chosen weekends, and keep the rest of the credits for a later project.

3. Profile analytics, in depth

What it does: shows which cities your profile is viewed from, how many people open each of your projects, and how long visitors spend on your profile.

Example, not a result: an architect in Jaipur notices that one farmhouse project is opened far more than the rest. They move it to the top of the profile and use it as the project they promote with city credits.

4. Unlimited project uploads

What it does: removes the five-project limit, so you can publish every project you are proud of.

Example, not a result: a studio with ten years of homes, a few offices and two restaurants puts them all up, so a client looking for a café can see that the studio has designed cafés, not only homes.

5. Premium project themes

What it does: lets you present a project in Aveno, a video-led layout with eight media slots, closer to how you would pitch the work in a meeting.

Example, not a result: a villa project opens with a short walkthrough clip, followed by the strongest photographs.

6. Post jobs and hire talent

What it does: lets you post openings, manage applicants, and reach architects and designers already on MOA. You can browse current listings on MOA Jobs.

Example, not a result: a growing studio in Bengaluru needs a junior designer for site coordination and posts the role on MOA, so applicants arrive with their portfolios already online.

7. Add your team to your studio

What it does: invite up to 20 people by email. Each gets their own MOA profile with your studio filled in, and appears on your studio's Team tab.

Example, not a result: a six-person practice adds everyone, so a client can see who designs, who runs site and who handles procurement before the first meeting.

8. Up to 1,000 free AI credits

What it does: when MOA's AI tools launch, Pro includes up to 1,000 credits free, and Pro members get first access. The tools have not launched yet, so there is nothing more to describe today.

9. An article about your studio, every month (bonus)

What it does: for each month you are on Pro, MOA's team writes and publishes one article about your profile and work on the MOA blog.

Our guidance: the article can only be as good as the profile it is based on. Keep your project write-ups, locations and images current, so there is real material to write about.

Who Pro is for, and who can stay on free

MOA's own answer is that Pro is for architects and interior designers with a profile on MOA who want more clients to see their work, solo practitioners and studios alike. Within that, here is our guidance on fit.

Pro is likely worth a look if:

• you have more than five projects worth showing, and the limit is cutting good work
• you want work in particular cities and would use the city credits each month
• you are hiring, or have a team you want clients to see
• you want to know which projects people open and where they browse from
• you have video of your projects and want a layout built around it

Free is likely enough for now if:

• you are a fresher or student with five or fewer finished projects (see our fresher portfolio guide)
• you work through referrals and only need a place to send people
• you are not hiring and work alone
• you would not have time to use the city credits or read the analytics

Pro is also one channel among several. A Google Business Profile is free, and Google says there is no way to pay for a better local ranking there. Instagram, your own website and referrals all have their place too. Our guide to how interior designers get clients in India sets out how they fit together.

Using the ₹99 first month well

If you try Pro, a month goes quickly. This is our suggested plan, not an MOA rule:

1. Week 1: upload the projects you held back, and set your strongest one in the Aveno theme.
2. Week 1: invite your team, if you have one, so the Team tab is complete.
3. Week 2: pick up to three cities you actually want work in, and plan which dates and which project each credit goes to.
4. Week 3: read the analytics. Which projects are opened, from which cities, and how long do people stay?
5. Week 4: decide. If you used the features, continue at ₹399 + GST. If not, cancel from your subscription settings; Pro stays on until the end of the paid month.
