Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Shortlist Clear if you are a CA practice or a mid-size to large Indian business filing GST across several GSTINs and want reconciliation and e-invoicing tied to your ERP. Before paying, get the quote in writing for the GSTIN count, invoice volume and users you need, and ask how renewal pricing is set, because none of this is public.
Read the full verdict
It does not replace books, so pair it with Tally, Zoho Books or your ERP. A small business filing a couple of returns a month may find the GST module inside its accounting software, or a local CA, simpler and cheaper than a separate compliance suite. Individuals should treat the expert ITR plans as a managed service and compare the sale price against a local CA.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 6 public sources visible for buyer verification.
In short
Clear (ClearTax) is listed under Finance & Accounting, reviewed for Indian buyers. It costs about ₹4,131/mo before GST, billed in rupees. It issues an India GST invoice, so you can claim input credit. FindThatSoftware rates it best for Indian businesses managing GST filing and reconciliation; a poor fit for small businesses that already file GST from Tally, Zoho Books or another accounting tool.

More
Expert ITR plans and managed services are priced publicly in rupees per filing or per year, shown as a large struck list price beside a much lower sale price; the vendor pages do not say whether GST is included. ITR plans come with an accuracy money-back guarantee, but no general refund policy page was found.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

What is Clear (ClearTax)?
Clear, sold to consumers as ClearTax, is run by Defmacro Software Private Limited from Bangalore. For businesses it sells a cloud compliance suite covering GST return filing, GSTR-2B reconciliation for input tax credit, e-invoicing, e-way bills, TDS and vendor management, with connectors for SAP and Microsoft ERPs. For individuals it offers free self ITR filing with prefilled data and paid expert-assisted plans where a tax expert files the return, plus managed services such as GST registration and a yearly GST return filing service for small businesses. It automates compliance and reconciliation rather than bookkeeping, so it sits beside your accounting software. Business software pricing is not published and is sold through a demo and sales quote.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- GST filing, GSTR-2B reconciliation, e-invoicing and e-way bills come from one Indian vendor with SAP and Microsoft ERP connectors
- Security basics a finance team will ask for are documented: 2FA, IP whitelisting, audit trails, ISO 27001 and SOC 2
- Individuals can self file an ITR for free with prefilled data, or pay for an expert to file it
The catch
- Business software pricing is quote only, so you cannot compare cost before a sales call
- No SSO or SAML login is mentioned on the vendor's security pages, which large IT teams may require
- Expert service prices are shown as steep struck list prices against a permanent looking sale price, and the pricing FAQ quotes lower starting prices than any plan card
- The vendor pages read do not say whether prices include GST or that it issues GST invoices, so confirm both before paying
Best for
- Indian businesses managing GST filing and reconciliation
- CAs and tax professionals serving multiple clients
- Enterprises needing e-invoicing and e-way bills
Who should avoid it
- Small businesses that already file GST from Tally, Zoho Books or another accounting tool
- Buyers who need a published price or self-serve signup for business software
