Salesforce alternative
A Salesforce alternative for small businesses in India
Salesforce is the most powerful CRM on the market — and a CRM only, priced per user in US dollars. A small Indian business usually needs the CRM and the invoicing, accounts and payroll behind it. Grovia includes all of them, priced in rupees for the whole team.
Salesforce in brief
Salesforce Sales Cloud is a CRM used by companies of every size, with a huge ecosystem of apps and partners. Its Starter Suite is aimed at small teams; larger editions add automation, forecasting and AI.
Accounting, payroll and GST invoicing are not part of Salesforce; they come from separate products connected to it.
How Grovia is different
- Priced in rupees, per team: ₹4,999 a month covers up to 15 users.
- GST invoicing, accounts, TDS and Tally export are built in, not connected apps.
- Projects, HR & payroll, field staff and support are in the same product.
- Set up yourself in a day — no admin or consultant needed.
What a 10-person team pays each month

| Salesforce Starter Suite | US$250 ($25 per user) | CRM with basic service and marketing |

Everything included in every plan
What Grovia costs
That works out to about ₹300 per user per month. Prices exclude 18% GST. 14-day free trial, no card needed. Full pricing
What Grovia does not do
So you don't buy the wrong tool:
- No stock, warehouse or manufacturing management (no MRP or bills of materials). Grovia is built for service businesses — agencies, consultants, CA and law firms, IT and field-service companies.
- GST returns are prepared and exported for filing; Grovia does not file them for you, and e-invoices are uploaded manually.
- It is a single cloud product, not a platform you customise with code or host on your own servers.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cheaper alternative to Salesforce for a small business?
For an Indian small business that also needs invoicing and accounts, Grovia costs ₹4,999 a month for up to 15 users with every module. Salesforce Starter Suite is US$25 per user per month for the CRM, before taxes.
Does Grovia have Salesforce's features?
No — Salesforce has far deeper sales automation and a large ecosystem. Grovia trades that depth for having the CRM, invoicing, accounts, projects and HR in one product that a small team can run itself.
