Meta Muse in India: not yet (checked 1 October 2026)
No, Meta Muse is not available in India as of 1 October 2026. Only the US (from 8 September 2026) and Canada (from 18 September 2026) have it, and Meta has set no India date.

Sources: Meta's newsroom, 29 September 2026 says Muse is "available in the US and Canada" and names no other country; the US launch is in its launch post, 8 September 2026, and the Canada launch date is from iPhone in Canada. Meta publishes no country list and no dates for new countries. Some outlets also list Mexico, but no Meta page does, so it is not counted here.

Which plan works, and what does it cost?
Muse has no India price. Gadgets Now converts the reported US plans to about Rs 1,900 a month for Power ($20) and about Rs 9,500 for Maximum ($100), both billed through Apple or Google. Paying is where an Indian sign-up stalls. On 26 September the same outlet found Muse in the US and Canadian App Stores and not in India's, and Meta's billing page names only the Apple App Store and Google Play.
What is the legit route?
No plan gets you in early, since Meta's rollout runs by country and OpenAI's Business Premium route for dots has no Muse equivalent. Meta's own helper in India today is Meta AI inside WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, which answers questions and does not carry out tasks, per Gadgets Now. Meta's chief AI officer said at Connect on 23 September that Muse will reach more countries, with no list or dates.
Does a VPN work?
The workaround going round pairs a US VPN with muse.ai on a laptop. Gadgets Now reports that it may work for a while but breaks Meta's rule that users must be in a country where Muse is offered, and that Meta's terms let it suspend Meta accounts tied to Muse. For most Indians those accounts hold years of Instagram and Facebook history. On a phone the trick is harder. Apple ties the App Store to the country on the Apple Account, so a VPN still shows India's store, which has no Muse. The same article notes that CERT-In, India's cyber-security body, has said its April 2022 VPN rules leave ordinary users out and fall on VPN firms, which must keep logs for five years.
What works there today?
OpenAI's dots is available on ChatGPT Pro in India, since India isn't in the EEA, Switzerland or UK group OpenAI excludes. OpenClaw and Hermes Agent are self-hosted open source software with no country restriction. Instinct, an invite-only agent reached over WhatsApp, publishes no country list and, per Gadgets Now, worked from Delhi in tests in September. See the full comparison at /alternatives/muse.
Can developers use Muse's model from India?
Gadgets Now notes that Meta sells the Muse Spark 1.3 model through OpenRouter at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens, with a cheaper Contributor tier at $0.10 and $0.20 if Meta may use your prompts. That is the model only, with no agent, cloud computer or WhatsApp chat, so it suits a developer more than someone who wants a table booked.
Common questions
Has Meta said when Muse might reach India?
No date or commitment was found for India. Meta's rollout so far names only the US and Canada.
Can I pay for Muse with an Indian card?
Gadgets Now says an Indian card has no approved way into Muse today, because Meta bills through Apple and Google and Link's agent wallet serves only US users. The free tier needs no card, though the same location rule applies.
Is the free tier the same size everywhere Muse does launch?
No market-specific variation was found. The reported figure is free for up to 100 million tokens a week, then $20 or $100 a month, though Meta has not published the size of the free limit.
Is Grok Bot available in India?
xAI hasn't published a country-availability statement for Grok Bot in any source read for this page, so its India status is unconfirmed despite real search volume for 'grok bot india price'.
