How to choose a Gen GST alternative

Count your GSTINs and suppliers. Reconciliation value scales with supplier count; a business with fifty suppliers rarely needs a dedicated tool.
Check the filing path: direct GSP integration is faster and more reliable than JSON upload through the portal.
For CA firms, look for client-level dashboards, multi-user roles and bulk operations rather than a single-business product.
