Less than one hour of your rate, a year of clean books.

You drop to Free, and nothing is deleted. Invoices you raised past the 5-a-month cap stay readable and downloadable; drafts stay drafts. The Pro areas — GST returns, TDS, the tax planner, expenses and reports — lock rather than disappear, and everything is exactly where you left it if you upgrade later. No card is on file, so nothing is charged at the end of a trial.

No. ₹299 is what leaves your account. HourSlip is not GST-registered yet, so no GST is added — and, for the same reason, the receipt we email you is a payment receipt rather than a tax invoice, so there is no input credit to claim on it. If that changes we will say so before it does.

You pick monthly or annual when you upgrade. There is no one-click switch between them yet: cancel from Settings → Billing — Pro runs to the end of the period you have already paid for — and start the other plan after that, or email support@hourslip.com and we will move you across without the gap.

Cancel from Settings → Billing and Pro runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, then drops to Free. Subscription payments are final — we do not pro-rate or refund the unused part of a billing period. If you were charged in error, email support@hourslip.com and we will sort it out. Your invoices stay readable and downloadable as PDFs on Free, indefinitely.

UPI, cards and netbanking through Razorpay. Renewals are automatic through a Razorpay subscription, and you can cancel it yourself from Settings → Billing at any time.

Five GST-shaped invoices a month, up to three clients, domestic and foreign currency with the FX rate locked at issue, a share link carrying a UPI QR and your bank details (plus card and netbanking if you connect your own Razorpay keys), quotes and credit notes, and time tracking. All 18 tax calculators are free and need no account at all. What Free does not include is the compliance machinery — GSTR assembly, TDS and 26AS, the tax planner, expenses, reports — because that is the work Pro exists to do.

No. Registration is a milestone, not an entry gate — below the ₹20L threshold you raise plain invoices headed "Invoice" with the GST fields dropped, and HourSlip warns you as your turnover approaches the line. TDS and advance tax start biting from your first invoice regardless of registration, and those are handled either way.

Coming soon. There is no multi-seat workspace today — every account is a single user, and Pro is priced for one person. We are building shared clients, roles and a team P&L; if you are two to twenty people billing under one GSTIN, write to support@hourslip.com and tell us what you need, because that is what we are shaping it against.

No, and it should not try. Filing your ITR and GST returns still wants a CA's sign-off. What HourSlip replaces is the prep work — the spreadsheet archaeology, the late-night PDF hunt, reconciling invoices against bank statements. Your CA reviews instead of reconstructs, and gets a read-only link with Tally and ITR-4 exports rather than a folder in a mail.

Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), hosted in Mumbai (ap-south-1). GSTIN, PAN, UPI ID and bank details are encrypted at the column level, not just at the disk. Every CSV, Tally and GSTR-1 JSON export lives in the Pro areas, so those come with Pro — but nothing is ever held hostage: your invoices download as PDFs on any plan, and if you want a full dump of your data on the way out, ask and we will send it. We do not share data with third parties.
