Product Update: New Flexible Minute-Wise Booking Feature!
Book Only the Time You Need – Save More with Every Extra Minute!
What is the Purpose of This Update?
At Mifuto, we want to give you complete freedom and control over your photography bookings.
Previously, extending a session often meant paying for a full extra hour, even if you only needed a few more minutes to capture those final moments. With our new Minute-Wise Booking Feature, you pay only for the exact extra time you use—making short extensions significantly cheaper and more transparent!
Here is how our pricing system works to help you choose the best option for your event.
How It Works (With Examples)
1. Minimum Base Service
-
Starting Duration: 45 Minutes
-
Ideal for quick personal shoots, maternity mini-sessions, hospital baby announcements, or quick product photos.
2. Extra Time Option (1 to 59 Minutes)
If your shoot goes slightly over time, you don't need to purchase a full additional hour! You can add extra time in precise increments from 1 to 59 minutes.

Minute-Wise Rate: ₹34.90 / minute (+ 18% GST)

Real-Life Customer Example
Scenario: You initially book a 45-minute mini photoshoot. The event runs a bit longer, so you add extra time using our minute-wise option up to 1 hour and 44 minutes.
Your Current Bill: ₹3,630 + GST = ₹4,283.00 Need a full 3 hours overall? If you extend minute-wise for another 1 hr 16 mins across bookings, your total comes to ₹7,413.00 (incl. GST)—saving you over ₹2,300 compared to a flat 3-hour standard package! Prefer zero hassle? If you want a dedicated photographer for a continuous 3-hour event without placing multiple top-up requests, select our Single 3-Hour Package for ₹9,735.00 (incl. GST).
Quick Summary to Help You Choose
-
Choose Minute-Wise Extra Time if: You need flexible, quick add-ons (up to 59 minutes per addition) and want maximum cost savings.
