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 Sarvam AI 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.

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 Sarvam AI (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.
