Good tools should not be a privilege of the big.
The corner shop, the two-doctor clinic, the trust that runs a school on goodwill: they need the same things a large company needs, and have far less room to pay for them up front. This page is about how Intersink tries to be fair to them, and to the people who use it.
Who software usually forgets
A few published figures that shape how we build. Each one links to its source.
of businesses worldwide are small and medium enterprises, and they provide more than half of all jobs.
of India's GDP came from micro, small and medium enterprises in 2022-23.
people were reported as employed by MSMEs on the Udyam Registration Portal as of July 2024.
of all workers, more than 2 billion people, were in informal employment in 2024.
was the global youth unemployment rate in 2024, against 5% for all workers.
people, about a third of the world, were still offline in 2024. In low-income countries only 27% use the internet.
A lower step in the door
Big software is often sold as a bundle, a year at a time, with a sales call before you see a price. That keeps small firms out.
On Intersink, a User ID is free. You add a business, open a channel and install one app. You are billed after the month for what you used, per app and per channel. There is no annual contract and nothing to pay before you start.
We do not offer free trials. We would rather you paid a small amount for a month you actually used than signed up for something that quietly renews.
The same model works at the other end. A group of companies pays for the apps each brand uses, and nothing it does not.

- Add a businessYour shop, clinic, trust or company.
- Open a channelA brand, a branch or a project.

Made for tired eyes and busy days
People run their businesses late at night, on old phones, between customers. We try to make that easier, not louder.
Visible focus, everywhere
Every link and button shows a clear outline when you move through a page with the keyboard.
Motion only when you want it
If your device asks for reduced motion, sliding and hover movement are turned down.
Light and dark
Pages follow your light or dark setting, for eyes that prefer one or the other.
Plain words
We write in short sentences and ordinary British English, and we explain terms the first time we use them.
Nothing you did not ask for
A channel starts empty. There are no autoplay videos and no pop-ups selling you something mid-task.
Carousels you can drive
Our carousels work with arrow keys, buttons and swipes, and the content is still readable without them.
We are still learning here. If something on Intersink is hard to use with the tools you rely on, tell us.
Your customers are yours, not ours
Privacy is not a setting you have to find. It is how the pages are built.
No advertising cookies
We set no advertising cookies and load no advertising scripts, so nobody is following you around the web from our pages.
Avatars drawn on your device
The illustrated faces and business tiles are generated in your browser from a name. No photo is fetched, and the name does not leave your device to make one.
Passkeys and two-step sign-in
Sign in with a passkey or add a second step, so a stolen password alone is not enough to get in.
Roles and an audit log
Each business and channel has its own roles, and the audit log records who did what. See the trust centre.
Pages that keep working when the signal drops
Not everyone has a steady connection. A clinic in a small town or a stall at a market should still be able to read what they opened a minute ago.
Pages you have already opened on Intersink stay readable without a connection. When the signal comes back, you carry on. Fewer repeat downloads also means less data used on a metered plan.

What we intend to do
These are intentions, not achievements. Intersink is a young platform, and we would rather tell you what we are aiming for than claim results we have not measured.
- Keep the door open for small firms
We intend to keep pricing per app and per channel, billed after use, so the smallest business pays for the least.
- Keep credits for those who need them
We intend to keep running free credit programmes for start-ups, small businesses, nonprofits and students, and to review every application by hand.
- Keep donations free
We intend to keep the Donations app free for nonprofits, so giving to a cause does not cost the cause a subscription.
- Collect less, not more
We intend to keep advertising cookies off our pages and to store only what the service needs.
- Build for patchy connections
We intend to keep pages light and to keep what you have opened readable offline.
- Say what we have not measured
We intend to publish impact figures only when we can measure them properly, and to say how.
