About GST Software for CA and how we rank

Disclosure: GST Software for CA is independent and is not owned by or affiliated with any GST software vendor, including the tools we rank. Some outbound links may be affiliate or sponsored links; they don't change a tool's score. A tool is left out of a ranking where it doesn't do the job — for example, Finexo GST is our overall #1 but is not in our return filing rankings because it doesn't file returns.

How we score

Every tool is scored out of 5 on the same five criteria. The overall rating is their average, and the rankings are ordered by it.

Ease of use
GST features
Value for money
Support
Security

Sector pages re-order the same tools by fit for one job — reconciliation, tracking, filing, free use or small firms — so a tool can rank higher there than in the overall list.

Where the facts come from

Features, returns covered and prices are taken from each vendor's own website and pricing page. Where a vendor doesn't publish a fact, we say "Not confirmed" or "on request" rather than guess. Prices exclude 18% GST unless stated. Reviews of tools we could not verify are kept off search engines until we can.

How often we check

We re-check vendor facts at least once a quarter and whenever GSTN changes a return or launches a feature such as IMS. Last full check: 12 Nov 2026. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we'll re-check it.
