The real cost comparison
What you save, per year.
Stack costs pulled from public Refrens / Zoho Invoice / ClearTax pricing pages. Time costs cover the manual grind HourSlip turns into a structured worksheet — 26AS cross-referencing and bank reconciliation.

Time costs estimated at ₹1,000/hr — a conservative blended freelancer rate; your actual billable rate is likely higher. CA fees vary by city and turnover (full filing usually ₹15–40K/year); we model only the ~50% you save when your CA reviews instead of reconstructs. Stack costs use Bengaluru / Mumbai mid-range for a ₹20–35L/year freelancer.
Common questions
Frequently asked.
Q01Is my financial data safe?+−
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), hosted in Mumbai (ap-south-1). You can export your data as CSV anytime — even on the Free plan, with GSTR-1 also available as government JSON. We don't share data with third parties, ever.
Q02I'm switching from Refrens or Zoho. How painful is it?+−
Bulk client CSV import is a Pro feature with prebuilt mapping for both Refrens and Zoho Books exports. Most freelancers are fully migrated in under 30 minutes — clients, projects, and outstanding invoices all carry over.
Q03I'm not GST-registered (under ₹20L turnover). Is this still useful?+−
Yes — Free covers you fully. You get unlimited time tracking, manual invoices (Bill of Supply layouts), all 9 tax calculators, and the ITR summary export. The Pro features that matter most for under-₹20L users are the Activity Inbox and email-to-expense.
Q04I'm already paying for ClearTax / Quicko. Why switch?+−
You shouldn't pay both. HourSlip's tax planner covers Section 87A, surcharge, marginal relief, the regime comparison, 44ADA, and quarterly advance tax — the same scope, but tied directly to your invoices and time entries so reconciliation is automatic.
Q05Does this replace my CA?+−
No — and it shouldn't try. Filing your ITR and GST returns still needs a CA's sign-off (especially above ₹15L). What HourSlip replaces is the prep work: the spreadsheet archaeology, the late-night PDF hunt, the back-and-forth reconciling invoices with bank statements. Your CA reviews instead of reconstructs — and typically needs 50% less prep time as a result. Bring HourSlip exports, leave with a smaller invoice.
Q06How does the 30-day Pro trial work?+−
No card required. You get every Pro feature for 30 days. On day 31, you either pay or you drop to Free — your data stays, your existing invoices stay, and Pro-only artifacts (like multi-currency invoices) become read-only. We don't auto-charge.
Q07How do I cancel?+−
One click in Settings → Billing flips a flag and stops the renewal nags — your Pro features stay on until the end of the period you already paid for, then naturally drop to Free. Subscription payments are final — we don't offer pro-rata or partial refunds for the unused part of a billing period. If you were ever charged in error, email [email protected] and we'll sort it out. No exit fees, no win-back calls. Your data stays exportable forever, on every plan.
Q08Is HourSlip India-only?+−
It's built for Indian freelancers, but multi-currency invoicing (USD / EUR / GBP / AUD / CAD with FX locked at issue date) is a core Pro feature. So if you're an Indian freelancer billing Upwork, Toptal, or direct US clients, it's the right tool. We don't support filing for non-Indian tax regimes.
Q09Does Pro support 44ADA presumptive taxation?+−
Yes — the full presumptive flow. Auto-calculates 50% deemed profit, advance tax due dates, regime comparison (44ADA vs ITR-3 with books), and prepares the ITR summary. Free includes the 44ADA calculator; Pro automates it from your live invoice data.
Q10What happens when I reach the 5-invoice free limit?+−
The Send button is blocked for the rest of the calendar month (IST). The invoice is saved as a draft automatically — no data is lost. On the 1st of the next month the counter resets. Upgrade to Pro anytime to remove the cap and send unlimited invoices.
No third tier, no per-seat math
Built for the Indian financial year.
Track hours, send invoices, file GSTR-1, plan advance tax — all on one timeline. Start free, upgrade when you outgrow it.
