EveryAction costs ₹30,000 to ₹1,50,000+ per month ($350 - $1,800/mo USD) and was built for US 501(c)(3) rules. Sangathan is built specifically for Indian Income Tax 80G/12A receipts, CSR-1 grant accounting, Darpan ID tracking, and double-entry cash books for ₹0 to ₹1,000/mo.
“EveryAction couldn’t even print a PAN-verified 80G receipt or handle UPI, and quoted us ₹50,000/month. Sangathan automated our entire annual donor audit in one afternoon for ₹1,000/mo.”
