Pulley alternatives by what you need

How to choose a Pulley alternative

  • Match the tool to the jurisdiction. Cap-table software built for US structures handles Indian share allotment and ROC paperwork poorly, and the gap surfaces at the worst moment.
  • For non-profits, confirm 80G receipt generation and, if you receive foreign contributions, how the tool handles FCRA-designated accounts.
  • Check payment costs end to end. Platform fees plus gateway charges decide how much of each rupee actually reaches you.
