Cheap society management software is a search born of AGM budgets. Fair. What is not fair is a landing page that says free and bills you for accounting in month two.
Inexpensive and complete vs cheap and hollow
A low sticker price that excludes dues, extra guards, or “premium support” is not cheap. DGate’s compact floor is ₹999/month after a free month, and the module list does not shrink.
What you should still pay for outside the app
A CA. GST. Gateway fees. Cameras. A security agency. Software that claims to replace all of that is selling a fantasy.
Run the trial like a sceptic
One walk-in timed. One cash receipt. One owner opening My dues. If those three work, the price is in the right league. If they do not, walk.
