How to choose
- Work out the cost for your team. Only Figma publishes a plan we could price for 10 people: ₹11,436 a month. For the others, ask for a quote with your team size written down.
- Check the currency. 2 of 10 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.
- Check India fit before you sign. We have read that 2 of 10 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.
- Start on a free plan where there is one. 8 of 10 list a free plan, so you can try them with your own data before paying.
- Check how each one charges. 8 of 10 have no monthly plan price we could read: some charge per transaction or per use, some only by quote. Their tool pages say which.
