Before you switch
- Billing: ask each vendor whether it invoices in rupees with GST. Where we have not read the answer, the table says “Not checked”, not “No”.
- Data: exports differ. Try one real export from Cashfree Payments into the new tool on a free plan before you pay for a year.
- Price: a monthly figure is for one seat or the entry plan. Work out your own number of users, and read the vendor page linked under each tool.
- Indian-built options are marked on the table and shown first. They are not better for that reason alone; they are easier on rupee billing, GST invoices and support in your time zone.

How this page is made
This page is built by a script from the same files as our tool pages, so it changes when a price, a score or an India-fit answer changes. Alternatives are picked by what we list for Cashfree Payments (its curated alternatives, the same use case and sub-category, shared tags and the compare pages we have), then ordered with Indian-built tools first, then by our score. A tool is left out when we have fewer than five real matches. Prices come from each vendor's own pricing page as read on our tool pages; the dates above are the days we read them. We may earn a commission on some vendor links elsewhere on the site; it does not change the order here. How the score works.
