Before you buy
What to check before you buy
Check what the price is per
A headline under ₹1,000 can be per user, per organisation, per branch or per employee. At this price point the difference decides whether the product is cheap or merely cheap-looking. Multiply by your real user count before comparing.
Annual versus monthly
Most Indian SaaS at this level discounts annual billing heavily, and some quote only the annual-equivalent monthly figure. Ask for both numbers, and ask what the renewal price is in year two.
Watch the usage-metered extras
SMS credits, WhatsApp conversations, e-invoicing and payment-gateway charges sit outside the licence and scale with how much you actually use the product. On a sub-₹1,000 plan these routinely exceed the subscription itself.
FAQs
Payroll software under ₹1,000 per month — questions buyers ask
Which payroll software has under ₹1,000/month in India?+
16 products on App Advisor match. The most compared are Zimyo, sumHR, uKnowva HRMS. 13 are built in India, which usually means GST, TDS and statutory updates ship as routine releases and support runs in your timezone. Every listing shows the vendor's own published pricing.
What is the cheapest payroll software in this list?+
Timelabs has the lowest published starting price at ₹40/mo. Compare on total first-year cost rather than the headline — user minimums, implementation and usage-metered extras such as SMS or WhatsApp credits often matter more than the licence.
Does App Advisor charge for this shortlist?+
No. App Advisor is free for buyers and takes no payment for ranking. Products are ordered by how much buyers compare them and by our rating, never by what a vendor pays.
How current is this list?+
The list is generated from our live catalogue, so it changes as products, pricing and free plans change. Pricing shown is the vendor's own published figure — always confirm current terms directly before you buy.
