The platform
What is the FONO app?
FONO is an audio and video calling platform where streamers earn beans from calls and gifts. Hosts can choose Audio Only or Audio & Video. Call flow and rates depend on performance and Streamer Score, as described in the regional policies.
A public profile picture is not required under either supplied policy. Verification requirements still apply: Indian onboarding uses your own PAN number, while the international policy uses your own National ID and requires a KYC video for withdrawal.
Two separate policies
Choose the policy for your region
FONO has separate Indian and international policies. Use the one applicable to your account and country.

Policy sources: India — 8 December 2025; International — 19 December 2025. Check the applicable in-app terms before joining or withdrawing.
For agencies
Understand your agency commission
Both supplied policies describe a flat 10% agency commission based on streamer earnings.
1,000,000 beans× 10% =100,000 beans
For example, if your streamers earn a total of 1,000,000 beans, 10% is 100,000 beans. This illustrates the calculation; actual commission depends on the team's eligible earnings.

For hosts
What hosts earn per minute, by region
Rate ranges from the regional call-rate tables. Your rate depends on your level; gifts are earned on top of calls.
India
6 levels · beans per minute
- Audio
- 100–200
- Video
- 100–600
International
9 levels · beans per minute
- Audio
- 100–300
- Video
- 100–600
For example, 30 minutes at 100 beans/min equals 3,000 beans. This is a calculation example, not a promise of available call time or daily earnings. Call availability and rates depend on performance and Streamer Score.

Payouts
Check withdrawals before you start
Indian streamers, international streamers and agencies have different withdrawal thresholds.
Indian streamer
5,000 beans first
First withdrawal threshold of 5,000 beans; subsequent threshold of 20,000 beans.
International streamer
30,000 beans minimum
The international streamer minimum is 30,000 beans, through Epay.
Agency
100,000 beans minimum
The agency minimum is 100,000 beans in both supplied policies.
Can I use FONO for audio calls only?
Yes. The supplied onboarding material shows an Audio Only option alongside Audio & Video.
How is hosting different from running an agency?
Hosts take calls and receive gifts. Agencies recruit and support streamers and earn the documented commission based on their earnings.
Is FONO income a fixed salary?
The policy lists call rates and bean conversions. It does not promise a fixed monthly wage. Earnings vary with activity, call availability, rates and gifts.
Does the international policy replace the Indian policy?
No. FONO has separate Indian and international policies. Use the one applicable to your account and country.
