The part most freelancers miss
Setup fees feed you today.
Retainers build the business.
Most homestay hosts won't hire a full property manager — but they'll pay ₹3,000–₹5,000/month for follow-ups, reviews, calls, and check-in help you can run from anywhere.
That someone is you.
Ten hosts at ₹4,000/month is ₹40,000 recurring — before your next setup fee.
Retainer management needs the host on Growth or above — so they have the dashboard tools you need to run their property.

What your fee covers
Quote in layers.
Base launch, then add-ons.
Sell the website launch first. Once the property is live, share the plans page and quote optional system setup or management separately.
Base launch package
- Property photos organized and uploaded
- Rooms, rates, and availability calendar configured
- Payment collection live on the platform gateway
- Live booking link on their Rukiye Zara site
Charge setup fees on top
When a client upgrades, quote your time to configure these platform add-ons:
- Channel manager — OTA connections, inventory, and rate sync (Growth and above)
- Stay operations (PMS) — reservations, team access, and day-to-day dashboard setup
- WhatsApp suite — marketing and utility messaging integration
- More add-ons in the App Store — charge to set up and manage them for the host
Keep platform plan pricing out of the initial website quote. The property owner selects and pays for a plan after onboarding; you can charge separately to configure and manage additional systems. View plans & add-ons →

Common questions
What partners
ask first.
Freelancers, digital agencies, and property management companies who set up booking websites or run property operations for stay owners — homestays, villas, boutique stays, farmstays, and hostels across India.
Most quote ₹5,000–₹15,000 for the 48-hour setup package, and ₹3,000–₹5,000/month for ongoing management. You set your own prices.
No. You bring clients to the platform — we never charge agencies or freelancers a partner fee. Connect with us and we'll walk you through the system.
Weeks versus hours, and bookings work out of the box. A WordPress or Wix build still needs separate booking, payment, and calendar tooling bolted on after launch — a stay website on Rukiye Zara is fully bookable from day one.
Most partners can go from signed client to a live, bookable website within 48 hours — with photos, rooms, rates, calendar, payments, and a booking link configured. The platform setup itself takes under 30 minutes; the rest is collecting the host's material.
Not yet. Today you set up each property with the host's email and mobile number to connect the account. Once everything is live, you hand the site over to the property owner. We're building an agency model so you'll manage and hand over multiple properties from one dashboard — that will come next.
That's your call. Starter is free per property (2.5% commission on direct bookings). Paid plans are billed per property, quarterly. Many partners pass the plan cost to the client; others fold it into their own retainer.
Every plan tier and platform add-on — custom domain, own payment gateway, channel limits, WhatsApp suite, and more — is listed on the plans page. Send your client there when they need details; quote your own setup fee on top when you configure it for them.
As soon as payment goes through, our team connects with you or your host directly and sets it up in one go — a single 30-minute meeting covers it. Channel manager is a complex technical setup, so our team handles that part with you rather than leaving you to configure it alone.
Email or WhatsApp us — we schedule demo or onboarding calls whenever a launch needs one. Our team responds within hours, not days, so you're never left waiting on us when you've made a commitment to your host.
