At a glance — coverage scores
Percentage of 26 features across project management, BOQ & costing, client approvals, billing & compliance, and platform/AI that each platform covers.
The only platform combining BOQ costing, client approvals, and GST billing built for Indian interior design studios.
Genuinely full-featured — but USD-priced, US-centric, and has no GST invoicing for India.
Free and familiar, but nothing is linked — BOQs, approvals, and invoices all live in separate places.
Best-in-class 3D rendering, but no BOQ, no approvals, no billing — a different tool for a different job.
The tools we're comparing
What each one is actually built for — and where it runs out of road for an Indian design studio
Foyr also sells a separate product, Foyr Manage, for project and billing workflows — this comparison covers Foyr Neo, the design/rendering product, since that's what interior designers most often evaluate against a business platform.

Why interior design studios choose Grovia
Six things Grovia offers that no single competitor combines for an Indian studio
BOQ Built for Design Studios
Room-by-room line items across material, labour, hardware, and furniture — not a generic spreadsheet. Revise a rate and totals recalculate instantly.
Approvals You Can Prove
Every design, material, or variation sent for sign-off is timestamped — sent date and response date both recorded automatically.
GST-Native Invoicing
GSTIN, CGST/SGST/IGST — invoice straight from the platform your BOQs and approvals already live in.
WhatsApp-First Reminders
Approval and billing reminders reach clients on the channel they actually read — not a portal they forget to check.
One Flat INR Plan
₹1,550/month flat for up to 50 projects and 10 staff accounts. No dollar pricing, no per-seat upsell ladder.
Runs From a Site Visit
iOS & Android app included — check a BOQ, log an approval, or see project status without opening a laptop.
