Different ways of getting it done." canonical: https://mytribe.in/compare/mytribe-vs-livspace last_updated: 2026-10-09 --- # mytribe vs Livspace. Which is right for planning your home interiors? Most of the really good interior designers in your city are not at Livspace. They have their own studios, a small team, a particular way of seeing rooms, and a waitlist. They work independently because that is how good design work gets done. mytribe is how you find them, and how you hire them directly. ## The honest version. **Livspace is the big-brand option for your home renovation. mytribe is the independent-creatives option.** With Livspace, their team runs the project with their designer, their vendors, their material supply. With mytribe, the independent designer whose taste you would actually trust with your home does the work — hired directly, working for you. ## Two different ways of getting it done. | | Livspace | mytribe | | --- | --- | --- | | **What you are buying** | A home renovation service from Livspace. They are your designer, contractor, and supplier rolled into one platform. | The independent designer's work directly. She is your designer. You hire her, she works for you. | | **Who designs your home** | Picked from Livspace's pool of designers. Some choice within their roster. | The designer you picked, because you picked them. | | **How the work is scoped** | Package-based, material and labour bundled, project-managed end-to-end. | A custom proposal from the designer, based on what you actually want and what they actually charge. | | **Customisation** | Inside Livspace's process and material catalog. | Whatever the designer can do, which is usually a lot more. | | **What you control** | Choices inside Livspace's options. | Who you hire. Their style. The proposal. The relationship. | | **What it knows about a provider** | Their roster. You meet the designer after the project is sold. | What they are genuinely good at and what they are not, what they really charge at different scales, and what went wrong last time. We call it their Kundli. | | **What it knows about the market** | Their own package pricing and material catalog. | What a job actually costs, what goes wrong in that category, what to ask before you book. | | **Speed** | A sales call, then a designer is assigned. | A shortlist with real prices, usually within minutes. Fast and right, not fast and wrong. | | **Getting a reply** | You wait for the designer they assign you. | You do not wait, and nobody is asked. We already hold their prices and their scope, so real quotes come straight back. | | **If nobody fits** | You work within their roster and their catalog. | We go and find somebody. Usually inside 24 hours. About 1 in 4 requests we get is for something outside our listed categories. | ## Neither is right for everyone. Here is how to tell. ### Use Livspace when you want a full home renovation managed end-to-end by one platform. - You are doing a whole-home renovation or modular kitchen and want one platform managing materials, labour, and timeline. - You are happy with bundled package pricing. - You are fine with the designer being assigned from their roster. - Their catalog covers the look and feel you want. ### Hand it to us when you want a specific independent designer, with no platform in between. - The independent designer whose work you saw on Instagram, or who a friend swears by, that is who you want. - You want a custom proposal from someone whose taste you trust. - You want to pick. Nobody assigning. - You want the designer working for you, not for a platform. - Every booking teaches the system something about that category, so the next brief like yours gets a better answer than yours did. ## Fast is easy. Fast and right is the hard part. Because anyone can be fast, this list is instant, definitely, but also of no use. Fast answers are good but they are worth having only if somebody already knew the exact answer to what you're asking. When we keep a file on providers, it is not their marketing content. For example their Instagram is actually their best work, which is chosen by them only but our file says what they are actually good at and where they are not good. What will they charge at 5,000? What will they charge at 20,000? If it's a photographer then who is the actual person who is holding the camera on your wedding day? If they have some history of doing something wrong, we call it their Kundli and it is built with a video interview, seeing their real work and taking reviews from their old customers. We also have a second file to understand that market: what one job will actually cost and there is no published price for it. What can go wrong in any sort of service? What should you know before making a booking? What is multi-day pricing? Whether a decorator takes the paint off your wall, this is written nowhere in India. That is why a shortlist comes back in minutes with real prices on it, and why the three names are the right three. We have done over 1,000 bookings so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 from around 250+ reviews. Fully live in Bengaluru. Building in Delhi NCR and Mumbai. ## One brief on WhatsApp. The right few back.
