How to choose
- Work out the cost for your team, not the headline price. For 10 people, the plans we could price run from ₹480 a month (Zoho People) to ₹3,499 a month (RazorpayX Payroll). 2 of these 3 charge per person, so their bill grows with every hire; the rest are flat. Try other team sizes in the seat calculator.
- Check the currency. 2 of 8 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 1 of 8 bill in rupees, 0 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. 1 of 8 list a free plan, so you can try them with your own data before paying.
- Check how each one charges. 2 of 8 have no monthly plan price we could read: some charge per transaction or per use, some only by quote. Their tool pages say which.
