Does PyInvesting give a GST invoice in India?

Whether PyInvesting issues an India GST invoice is not verified yet. Foreign-billed tools usually don't, in which case a registered business reclaims GST via reverse charge; confirm the vendor's billing before you buy.

Is PyInvesting good for Indian small businesses?

It suits self-directed investors who want to test a rule-based portfolio idea against a benchmark before using real money. It bills in a foreign currency, so expect the card forex markup on every charge. It is not the right pick for traders who need broker integration, order placement or intraday data.

Does PyInvesting have a free plan?

PyInvesting lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.

FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling

Shortlist PyInvesting if you are a self-directed investor who wants to test a momentum, trend or allocation rule before putting money behind it, and you would rather click through a form than write Python. The free tier is enough to run three backtests and judge whether the workflow suits you, so there is no reason to pay first.

Read the full verdict

Before paying, run one test on the NSE stocks or ETFs you actually hold and check that the price history goes back far enough and the numbers look sane, because the site is clearly US-first and we saw one Indian stock page with earnings labelled in USD. Billing is monthly only in US dollars through an unnamed Singapore-law operator, so expect forex charges on an Indian card and no GST invoice. Compared with charting platforms that bundle backtesting with live broker connections, this is narrower: research only, no execution and no alerts to your broker.

FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 12 public sources visible for buyer verification.

In short

PyInvesting is listed under Finance & Money, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹1,949/mo for a GST-registered business ($19.9/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). FindThatSoftware rates it best for self-directed investors who want to test a rule-based portfolio idea against a benchmark before using real money; a poor fit for traders who need broker integration, order placement or intraday data.

What PyInvesting costs in India

The rupee price a business actually pays, after the card forex markup, with GST shown both ways.

True India price

Registered business, per month

₹1,949

PyInvesting advertises $19.9/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹1,949 a month (₹23,386/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹2,300 a month.

Sticker price: $19.9/mo
Card forex markup: about 3.5% over mid-market
GST: 18%, reclaimable if registered
Registered per month: ₹1,949
Registered per year: ₹23,386
If you can't reclaim GST: ₹2,300

Try first: Has a free plan, so you can start without a card.
Watch for: Prices are shown only in US dollars and only on monthly billing; no annual option is offered.
More
Eligible new subscribers get the first Premium month free, after which it renews monthly until cancelled; the vendor does not define eligibility or say whether a card is needed to start, and the Terms say cancelling stops future renewals but does not ordinarily refund a period already started. The Terms put taxes, currency conversion and payment provider charges on the buyer, do not name the payment provider and say nothing about GST invoices.

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.

Who PyInvesting fits

What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.

What is PyInvesting?

PyInvesting is a web app for testing investment rules on historical market data, run by an unnamed operator whose Terms are governed by Singapore law. The vendor offers five no-code backtest builders (relative strength, moving average, fundamentals ranking, strategic allocation and breakout trading), a stock screener covering 19 exchange universes, a breakout parameter optimiser and a library of published example strategies. Each result shows return against a chosen benchmark alongside drawdown, turnover, holdings and simulated trades, and the vendor says Premium users can have up to five saved strategies rerun daily on end-of-day data. India coverage is real but secondary: the vendor's instrument search returns NSE-listed stocks and Indian ETFs (for example RELIANCE.NSE, INFY.NSE, NIFTYBEES.NSE), the screener has an India Stock universe and the breakout optimiser offers INR as a reporting currency, but no BSE-listed instruments turned up in search and the example strategies, sample charts and tutorial are built around US stocks and ETFs. The vendor states plainly that it does not connect to any brokerage, place orders or give investment advice.

What you gain, and what you give up.

The case for

Free tier with no payment method required lets you run three full backtests before deciding
Results put drawdown, turnover, holdings and trades beside the return, and the vendor's tutorial actively warns against overfitting
Instrument search includes NSE stocks and Indian ETFs, the screener has an India Stock universe, and the breakout optimiser offers INR as a reporting currency

The catch

No legal entity name anywhere on the Terms or privacy policy; the privacy policy says references to PyInvesting do not imply any corporate form
Monthly billing only, in US dollars, with no stated GST invoice and no named payment provider; the Terms say you bear taxes, currency conversion and provider charges and that started periods are not ordinarily refunded
Indian coverage is secondary: NSE stocks and ETFs are searchable but no BSE listings appeared, the example strategies and tutorial are US-focused, and the RELIANCE.NSE page labelled its earnings and cash flow figures in USD
No brokerage connection or execution, so monitored strategies only report model positions you must act on yourself

Best for

Self-directed investors who want to test a rule-based portfolio idea against a benchmark before using real money
Indian investors who also hold or research US stocks and ETFs, where the tool's examples and data are deepest
Learners who want drawdown, turnover and trade history shown next to the headline return

Who should avoid it

Traders who need broker integration, order placement or intraday data
Investors who only trade BSE-listed stocks or Indian F&O
Anyone looking for buy or sell recommendations, which the vendor explicitly does not give
