Advertiser campaigns bill from the same shared Flocci credit wallet (PayU top-ups) used for paid features in any other Flocci product — no separate billing to manage.
One intelligence layer
"Ask Crashtech" answers and ad-targeting suggestions run on Flocci Intelligence, the suite's shared intelligence service — the same AI substrate every other Flocci app uses.
Flocci Chat, built in
The chat bubble on every page is already Flocci Chat — ask about your account, a campaign or a story without leaving Crashtech.
Platform plans (Pro ₹499 · Pro+ ₹2999 · ₹49/seat Business) bill once at account.flocci.in and work everywhere in the suite, including ad credits here.
