How to choose ERP for SMEs
Price the implementation, not the licence; ask for fixed-scope quotes from two partners and reference calls with customers in your industry.
Check the Indian localisation depth: GST, e-invoicing, TDS, e-way bills and state-level compliance should be native, not custom.
Decide between an SMB ERP (Tally-adjacent, Busy, Marg, ERPNext, Zoho One) and a mid-market suite (SAP B1, NetSuite, Dynamics 365) based on users and complexity, not ambition.

ERP for SMEs — frequently asked questions
Which ERP for SMEs is best in India?+
On App Advisor's ranking, Zoho One, Odoo, ERPNext Cloud lead this list of 20 products. "Best" depends on your size and workflow, so use the shortlist tool with your budget and team size rather than taking a ranking at face value.
How much does ERP for SMEs cost?+
Published pricing in this list starts at ₹600 per month. 7 of the 20 products have a free plan. Products sold only on request show "On request" — we never estimate a price a vendor has not published.
Is there free ERP for SMEs?+
Yes — 7 of the 20 products here have a real free tier, not just a trial. Free plans usually cap users, records or transactions, so check the limit against your monthly volume before you commit.

9 of the 20 products listed are built in India. That usually means GST, TDS and UPI are handled natively, support runs in Indian hours and invoices come in rupees.

ERPNext (open source) and Zoho One are the lowest-cost full suites; TallyPrime with add-ons, Busy or Marg cover trading and light manufacturing at a fraction of mid-market ERP cost.

Three to six months for an SMB ERP; six to eighteen months for SAP, Oracle or Dynamics in a mid-size company.
