What Your Results Look Like

Every invoice is classified into one of four categories so you know exactly what action to take.

Matched

Action: Claim ITC

Track vendor compliance scores over 12 months. Identify improving or worsening vendor patterns before they affect your ITC.

Missing in GSTR-2B

Action: Follow up with vendor

Invoice is in your books but the supplier hasn't filed it in GSTR-2B yet. You may not be able to claim ITC this month.

Missing in Books

Action: Check with accountant

Invoice is in GSTR-2B but not recorded in your purchase register. Could be a missed entry or wrong period booking.

Value Mismatch

Action: Verify with supplier

Invoice exists in both records but taxable value or tax amount differs. Needs investigation before claiming ITC.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 2-month free trial work?

You get access to Trial plan features for 2 months — no credit card required. After 2 months, your account is restricted and you must upgrade to Starter or Professional to continue. All your data is retained.

What happens when the trial expires?

After 2 months, you cannot run new reconciliations until you upgrade. Existing data, reports, and history remain safe. Upgrade anytime to continue from where you left off.

Is pricing per CA or per client?

Per CA account (per login). One subscription covers your entire practice — no per-client charges ever.

What is the difference between Starter and Professional?

Starter covers up to 15 clients with basic matching and core reports — ideal for small practices. Professional unlocks multi-GSTIN reconciliation, ITC Risk analysis (R1–R10), vendor profiling, configurable matching settings, state-wise reports, carry-forward tracking, and all 7 report types. If you deal with clients having multiple GSTINs or need ITC risk insights, Professional is the right choice.

Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing period. All data is retained on any plan change.

Can my articles / staff access the account?

Yes. Trial has no staff access, Starter includes 2 staff sub-users, Professional includes 10, Enterprise is unlimited.

Is annual billing available?

Yes — for Starter and Professional plans. Annual billing saves ₹1,989/year on Starter and ₹4,989/year on Professional. Enterprise pricing is negotiated directly.
