What is ERPNext Cloud?

ERPNext Cloud is the managed hosting of ERPNext, the open-source ERP built by Frappe Technologies Pvt. Ltd. from Vidyavihar, Mumbai. You do not buy ERPNext licences. The software itself is free with no per-user fee, and Frappe Cloud charges only for the compute, database and storage your site uses. Frappe says over 30,000 companies have adopted ERPNext, and the company is backed by Zerodha's Rainmatter.

For an Indian SME the appeal is breadth at a low running cost. One site covers accounting, buying, selling, stock with batch and serial tracking, multi-level BOM manufacturing, projects, POS, quality and a support desk. GST, e-invoicing, e-way bills and TDS/TCS come through the free India Compliance app, which installs from the marketplace on the same site. Frappe HR adds payroll if you need it. Since plans have no user cap, a 40-person trading company pays the same hosting fee as a five-person one, as long as the CPU allowance holds.

The weak spot is support. The hosting plans cover infrastructure and Product Warranty bug fixes only, and Frappe states this does not include functional help such as configuring your chart of accounts or GST templates. Most Indian buyers therefore pair Frappe Cloud with an implementation partner or a Success Pack. ERPNext is also configuration-heavy, so a team without someone comfortable with doctypes, workflows and print formats can struggle in the first months.

Pricing is usage based and billed daily. Shared site plans start at Rs 410 a month (0.5 CPU hours a day, 250 MB database, 2.5 GB storage on AWS Mumbai) and go to Rs 4,100 a month. Dedicated servers start around Rs 3,600 a month. Watch the CPU limit: once a site uses up its CPU time for the plan, Frappe drops further requests, and its billing FAQ advises upgrading if that happens often. For a live business on AWS, budget at least the Rs 2,050 plan, which adds offsite backups. There is a 14-day free trial.

What works well

  • +No per-user licence fee, so adding staff does not raise the hosting bill
  • +Entry site plan costs Rs 410 a month with servers in Mumbai on AWS
  • +India Compliance app adds GST, e-invoice, e-way bill and TDS/TCS handling
  • +Covers accounting, stock, manufacturing, CRM, POS and projects in one database
  • +Billing is prorated daily, so an unused site deleted mid-month stops charges
  • +Marketplace lists around 375 apps including HR & Payroll, Helpdesk and WhatsApp connectors
  • +Open source code means you can move to self-hosting later without losing data

What to watch out for

  • −Hosting plans exclude functional support; configuration help needs a partner or Success Pack
  • −Once the plan's CPU time is used up, Frappe drops further requests to the site
  • −Product Warranty bug-fix cover starts only at the Rs 4,100 site plan on AWS
  • −Pricing page does not state whether GST is added to INR charges

Best suited for: Indian manufacturers and traders wanting full ERP without per-user licence costs · Companies with an in-house tech person or partner to configure ERPNext · Growing teams that may add users often and want a flat hosting cost · Businesses that want open-source software and freedom to self-host later

ERPNext Cloud — frequently asked questions

How much does ERPNext Cloud cost in India?+

ERPNext Cloud on Frappe Cloud starts at Rs 410 a month per site, which gives 0.5 CPU hours a day, a 250 MB database and 2.5 GB storage on AWS. Higher site plans cost Rs 820, Rs 2,050, Rs 3,075 and Rs 4,100 a month, and dedicated servers start at about Rs 3,600 a month. The ERPNext software itself carries no licence or per-user fee.

Is GST charged on Frappe Cloud bills?+

Frappe's ERPNext Cloud pricing page lists INR prices but does not say whether 18% GST is included or added. Frappe Technologies is an Indian private limited company in Mumbai, so ask its billing team for a GST invoice with your GSTIN before you commit, especially if you want to claim input tax credit on the hosting.

Does ERPNext Cloud have a free trial or free plan?+

ERPNext Cloud offers a 14-day free trial on Frappe Cloud. There is no permanent free hosted plan. If you want ERPNext at zero cost, the software is open source and you can self-host it on your own server, but then backups, upgrades and security become your responsibility rather than Frappe's.

Does ERPNext Cloud support GST e-invoicing and e-way bills?+

Yes. ERPNext Cloud handles Indian GST through the India Compliance app, which you install from the Frappe marketplace. It covers GST setup, GSTIN and HSN/SAC codes, tax templates, GST reports, e-invoice generation, e-way bills and TDS/TCS. Features depend on the installed app and ERPNext versions, so test them during the trial.

Is there a user limit on ERPNext Cloud plans?+

No. ERPNext Cloud site plans on Frappe Cloud have no cap on users. The real limit is daily CPU hours. Once a site uses up its plan's CPU time, Frappe drops further requests, and its billing FAQ advises moving to a higher plan if that happens often, so size the plan to your transaction volume rather than headcount.

ERPNext Cloud vs Tally: which is better?+

ERPNext Cloud is a full browser-based ERP with manufacturing, CRM, projects, POS and stock, with no per-user fee and hosting from Rs 410 a month. Tally is simpler accounting and inventory software that most Indian accountants already know. Choose ERPNext if you need multi-department workflows and can configure them; choose Tally if accounting and GST returns are your main need.

Does Frappe Cloud help me set up ERPNext?+

Not as part of hosting. Frappe Cloud plans include infrastructure and, on higher plans, Product Warranty bug fixes, but Frappe states this excludes functional support. For chart of accounts, GST templates or workflows, use one of ERPNext's 200-plus implementation partners or a Success Pack, which Frappe offers to small businesses under 50 users in some regions.

Where is ERPNext Cloud data hosted?+

ERPNext Cloud lets you pick the provider and region when you create a site. AWS, Oracle Cloud and Hetzner all list a Mumbai region, and Frappe recommends AWS or Oracle for production because Hetzner is positioned for testing and demos. Higher plans add offsite backups, and the Rs 4,100 plan adds database and SSH access.

Is there an ERPNext mobile app?+

Frappe presents ERPNext Cloud as fully mobile friendly, meaning every module works in a phone browser. We could not verify a current dedicated ERPNext app on the Play Store. For field sales or warehouse staff, test the mobile web screens during the 14-day trial before rolling out.

Who makes ERPNext and is it Indian?+

ERPNext is made by Frappe Technologies Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in Vidyavihar West, Mumbai, and founded by Rushabh Mehta. Frappe also runs Frappe Cloud, the hosting service. The company is backed by Zerodha's Rainmatter, and Frappe says more than 30,000 companies have adopted ERPNext worldwide.
