Planned: paid minutes
A balance that runs down as the call runs, so billing and the call are the same event rather than two.

Not available yet. Video consultation app is on the 10mins build roadmap and is not something you can launch today. Everything described below is planned, not shipped. If you need to be live this week, the apps listed at the bottom of this page are built and taking signups now.
What Video consultation app will be
Consultants, astrologers, lawyers and doctors all sell the same thing — time — and mostly bill for it afterwards, badly. The planned video app bills it as it is spent: a customer tops up, the balance runs down while the call runs, and the call ends when it does. It also needs to work on an Indian phone on a patchy connection, which is the actual engineering problem. On the roadmap, not built yet. Consultants, astrologers and doctors looking for paid per-minute video consultations, the model Practo and the astrology apps run on, find this page.
Planned: scheduled rooms
Booked consultations with a real slot, alongside call-now availability when you are free.
Planned: group rooms
One-to-many sessions for classes and group consultations, priced per seat.
What you can launch instead, today
Booking the slot, today
If your consultations are scheduled rather than instant, the home services app already books priced services into time slots and could carry the appointment half while you take the call however you take it now.
Content and subscriptions
The podcast and streaming apps ship today with paid subscription tiers, a branded viewer app and your own subscriber list — the closest working equivalent if what you sell is content behind a paywall.
Anything sold by the seat or the slot
The ticket booking app sells cinema seats, bus and train departures, flights, ferries, concerts, sports and park entry, with real seat maps and an offline gate scanner. If your business sells a fixed number of places at a fixed time, it already fits.
Questions people ask
Can I take paid video consultations on 10mins today?
Not with per-minute billing inside the app — that is on the roadmap. What is live is the booking half: the home services app books priced services into real time slots, which handles scheduling and payment even if the call itself happens elsewhere.
Why is per-minute billing the hard part?
Because the call and the billing have to stay in step on a connection that drops. Getting that wrong means either charging for minutes nobody got or giving away minutes that were used, and both are money bugs.
When will it launch?
No committed date. The queue follows demand, which the button on this page records.
Will it work on a weak connection?
That is a design requirement rather than an afterthought — the app is aimed at Indian mobile networks, where a consultation product that assumes good wifi is unusable.
Who is per-minute consultation actually for?
Anyone who sells time and currently bills for it afterwards, badly: astrologers, lawyers, consultants, tutors and career advisers. The planned app makes the billing and the call the same event — the customer tops up, the balance runs down while the call runs, and it ends when it ends. Health consultations are deliberately excluded and sit behind the separate compliance review.
Other apps you can launch on 10mins
Something else can be live today
This one is still being built. Thirteen other apps on 10mins are not, and they launch in the same ten minutes.
