How Sevastack compares to the alternatives

It depends on what you are replacing. For accounting alone, Indian NGOs commonly evaluate Tally, Zoho Books or a spreadsheet — none of which do fund accounting, 80G receipts or Form 10BD. For fundraising, the alternatives are crowdfunding marketplaces such as Ketto and Give, or payment platforms such as Danamojo, which collect donations but leave receipting, compliance and accounting elsewhere. For an all-in-one NGO platform, Good Karma and NGO Partner are the closest Indian comparisons. Each comparison page here sets out the differences feature by feature.

For non-profit accounting, yes. Tally has no fund accounting, no 80G receipting and no Form 10BD or 10BE, so an NGO running on Tally re-enters data into a second system for compliance. Sevastack does fund accounting, generates the Receipts & Payments, Income & Expenditure and Balance Sheet Indian auditors expect, and files 10BD and 10BE from the same ledger. It also imports existing Tally data and exports Tally-importable XML, so a CA who works in Tally can carry on doing so.

Those are crowdfunding marketplaces: donors give on the platform's website, a fee applies to each donation, and the platform holds the donor relationship. Sevastack is fundraising software an NGO runs itself — donations arrive on your own branded page at 0% platform fee, settle directly to your bank account, and every donor stays in your CRM. Many Indian NGOs use both: a marketplace for reach on a specific campaign, Sevastack as the fundraising base they own.

No. Sevastack charges 0% platform fee. Your NGO keeps 100% of what donors give, aside from the standard charge levied by your own payment gateway, and funds settle directly into your NGO's bank account — Sevastack never holds donor money.
