Meta has put a price on its personal AI agent Muse in India, even though the service has not officially launched in the country yet. The subscription page now lists the Power plan at Rs 1,799 and the Maximum plan at Rs 8,999, a clear sign that an India debut is getting closer. Indian users, for now, are still on a waitlist.
The pricing was first reported by The Hindu on 9 November and picked up widely on 10 November. Meta has not announced a launch date for India, and it has not confirmed whether the listed prices are final. But the fact that rupee prices are already live on the service suggests the groundwork is done and the launch is a matter of timing.
What Muse costs in India
Meta is offering two paid tiers in India, matching its US pricing almost exactly. In the United States, Power costs $20 a month and Maximum costs $100 a month. The Indian prices sit at roughly the same level in rupee terms.
- Power: Rs 1,799, with 500 million Muse tokens a week
- Maximum: Rs 8,999, with 3 billion Muse tokens a week
- Free tier: available with a usage limit, with paid plans raising the weekly allowance
Subscriptions bought through Google Play or Apple billing are likely to cost slightly more than the prices listed directly by Meta, according to the reports. It is also not yet confirmed whether the Indian prices are charged monthly, though the US plans are billed monthly and renew automatically, which points the same way.
What Muse actually does
Muse is not another chatbot. Meta introduced it at its Meta Connect event in September 2026 as a personal AI agent that works across Meta products, including WhatsApp, and carries out tasks on a user’s behalf, often in the background. It can send emails, book travel, manage schedules and handle multi-step jobs rather than simply answering questions.
That agentic pitch is what separates it from the AI assistants most Indians already use. Meta is positioning Muse as something that does the work, not just drafts it. The token allowances in the paid plans reflect that ambition: heavy users who hand the agent long, complex tasks will burn through tokens far faster than someone asking occasional questions.
The product has kept moving even while India waits. On 10 November, Meta made Muse available on Apple Watch and Wear OS, and introduced Muse Ember, its smallest and most efficient model, built for the kind of repeated reasoning and tool calls an agent runs all day.
The catch for Indian users
There are two limits Indian users should know about before getting excited. First, Muse is not listed on Indian app stores yet, and anyone trying to access it from India is placed on a waitlist. Second, one of its headline features does not work here at all: Muse cannot yet authorise card payments on a user’s behalf in India, because the payment-processor integrations it needs do not operate in the country.
Why India matters to Meta
India is one of WhatsApp’s largest markets, and Muse is built to live inside Meta’s apps, including WhatsApp. That makes India a natural priority for the company, even if the launch here is trailing the US and Canada, where the service went live in September.
The pricing also tells its own story. At Rs 1,799 a month, Power is aimed at professionals and power users rather than casual chatters, while the Rs 8,999 Maximum tier is clearly priced for heavy, business-grade use. Meta is betting that Indians who already pay for productivity tools will pay for an agent that saves them hours a week.
What happens next
The next steps are all in Meta’s hands: a confirmed launch date, final pricing, and the payment integrations that would let Muse spend on a user’s behalf in India. Until then, the waitlist is the only way in, and the prices on display are best treated as reported pricing rather than a finished announcement.
For now, the message is simple. Muse is coming to India, it will cost Rs 1,799 a month to start, and the wait has begun.
