How to choose

  1. Work out the cost for your team, not the headline price. For 10 people, the plans we could price run from ₹1,138 a month (Pabbly Connect) to ₹9,435 a month (Pipedream). All 3 are flat prices, so a bigger team pays the same. Try other team sizes in the seat calculator.
  2. Check the currency. 3 of 15 are priced in dollars on the vendor's page. The rupee figure here is converted at our rate of ₹95.3 per dollar; your bank's rate and card fee change what you pay.
  3. Check India fit before you sign. We have read that 2 of 15 bill in rupees, 1 give a GST invoice and 0 keep data in India. "Not checked" means we have not read it, not that the answer is no.
  4. Start on a free plan where there is one. 14 of 15 list a free plan, so you can try them with your own data before paying.
  5. Check how each one charges. 10 of 15 have no monthly plan price we could read: some charge per transaction or per use, some only by quote. Their tool pages say which.

Something wrong or out of date? Tell us and we re-check the vendor's page.
