Your consultations shouldn’t happen on someone else’s app.
Embedded video calling for 1:1 consultation platforms. Own the call, meter the minutes, take payment inside the session.
The handoff is where you lose the money
A user finds a consultant on your app. They pay on your app. Then they get a link and leave for Zoom.
That handoff costs you three things at once. First-time users drop out rather than install another app. You lose visibility into what happened in the session. And the payment model gets locked into whatever the third-party call supports — which means fixed-price, booked in advance, and expiring unused.
Step 1
Customer Pays & Joins
Customer adds money to their wallet and joins the consultation.
Step 2
Consultation Happens In-App
Customer and consultant connect directly on your platform — no Zoom or external links.
Step 3
Track Time & Get Paid
Minutes are tracked automatically, with top-ups and consultant payouts handled on your platform.
The video surface quietly decides what business model you’re allowed to run.
Pay-per-minute needs a call you control
Metered billing is the dominant model in Indian consultation marketplaces, and it isn’t a pricing decision. It’s an architecture decision.
To bill by the minute, you need to:
-
Check the wallet balance before the call connects
-
Count connected seconds on your server, not on the client
-
Show the running balance to both sides during the call
-
Warn the user before the balance runs out
-
Accept a top-up mid-call without dropping the session
-
End the call cleanly at zero, and reconcile the consultant’s payout against verified time
A third-party meeting link exposes none of this. That’s the reason platforms selling on Zoom sell fixed-price sessions and then write policies about unused sessions expiring.
Give your customers a better way to pay
Built for consultations, not meetings
Wallet-gated joins
Sessions won’t start below your minimum balance. No chasing payments after the fact.
Server-side metering
Connected seconds counted where you can trust them. Clean payout reconciliation, disputes you can actually settle.
Mid-call top-up
Balance warning, one-tap recharge, no reconnect. The moment that decides whether a session ends at eight minutes or twenty-five.
In-session commerce
Tips, follow-up bookings, digital products — sold inside the call and on the post-call screen, where intent is highest.
Recording with access control
Encrypted playback, signed URLs, expiry windows. If you promise a 90-day replay and no redistribution, you need to be able to enforce it.
Mobile-first, low bandwidth
Built for Indian networks and mid-range Android. Audio holds when video degrades.
Same infrastructure, different configuration
Metering, wallets, and recording are the shared core. What changes per vertical is which parts of that core are visible — and how billing is set up.
Per-minute
Astrology & spiritual consultation
Per-minute readings, on-demand connect, consultant presence, post-session tips. The highest-volume 1:1 category in India, and the one most dependent on impulse.
Fixed-session
Therapy & counselling
Fixed-session pricing, privacy controls, no meter visible during the session. Same infrastructure, opposite billing configuration.
Queue-based
Doctor & teleconsultation
Queue management, intake before connect, prescription handoff, retained records.
Per-consultation
Legal & financial advice
Billable-time accuracy, session records, per-consultation invoicing.
Scheduled + on-demand
Tutoring & coaching
1:1 alongside group, replay access, scheduled and on-demand in one stack.
Time-based
Business & Startup Consulting
1:1 strategy sessions with time-based billing, real-time usage metering, and secure session records.
Start with one flow
We’d rather prove this on a narrow surface than sell you a migration. Pick your 1:1 flow, run it on TPStreams for a few weeks, and compare against your current setup.
If the numbers don’t move, you’ve lost a sprint. If they do, you have a case for the rest.
Completion rate
Joins vs. drop-offs at the handoff
Average session length
Minutes actually billed, not booked
Revenue per session
Tips, top-ups, and follow-ons included
