Zenklub, Vittude, GetNinjas or a directory? How to choose where to promote your practice
Every platform that promises clients charges somehow — subscription, commission, coins, plans. None of those models is wrong in itself; what is wrong is joining without knowing which one you are accepting, because each changes who controls your schedule, your fee and your relationship with the people you see.
This guide does not crown a winner. It lists the questions that separate the models — and at the end points to our comparison table, where every answer about every platform comes from its own official page, with a check date.
Question 1: does session money pass through the platform?
This is the biggest divide. On intermediation platforms, the client pays the platform, and the platform pays you — deducting a commission or per-session fee, on its schedule, under its rules. On listings and directories, the person pays you directly, and the platform charges (when it charges) for visibility or for the contact.
Neither is a scam; they are different businesses. But the practical difference is large: in the first model, a change in fees, payout schedule or policy lands in the middle of your relationship with people you already see. In the second, the financial relationship is yours.
Question 2: where does contact flow — and who owns it?
Some platforms require sessions to happen inside their tool and do not recognize care delivered outside it. Others hand over the contact and step aside. Before joining, read the professional terms of use — that rule usually lives there, not on the marketing page.
The underlying question: if you leave the platform tomorrow, do the people you see come with you, or stay with it? A contact that flows through your WhatsApp is yours. A contact that lives inside a tool belongs to the tool.
Question 3: what exactly does paying buy?
On some platforms, paying is a condition for existing — without a subscription, your profile does not appear in search. On others, you pay to unlock each contact. On others still, the profile publishes for free and payment buys position or features.
None of those sentences is praise or criticism: it is the data you need before doing the math. A cheap monthly plan that generates no contact is expensive; a high per-session fee on a full schedule is too. The math only closes with the numbers of YOUR case.
- How much does being visible cost — and what happens to the profile if you stop paying?
- Is there a charge per completed session? How much? Written where?
- Does the contract require a company entity, channel exclusivity or a minimum stay?
Check it yourself, with the sources
We built a table comparing the models — cost, commission, contact, exclusivity and payment — where every statement about every platform comes from its own official page, with the date we checked it. Where the source is silent, the table says "not disclosed" instead of guessing.
Our position is there too, signed as opinion and outside the table: IAURA is a listings platform, and session money never passes through here. But the choice is yours, and it gets better with the facts on the table.
