Sevastack vs Good Karma
Both are NGO management platforms for Indian non-profits. The differences that matter are pricing transparency, how far the compliance coverage goes, and whether your NGO gets a public presence.
Sevastack or Good Karma — which should an Indian NGO choose?
Sevastack and Good Karma are both NGO management platforms, so the question is depth rather than category. Sevastack publishes its pricing openly, runs a free forever plan, and covers the Indian statutory stack end to end — 80G receipts with URN and PAN, Form 10BD and 10BE, FCRA fund tracking, fund accounting with the statutory statements, payroll under the 2025 labour codes, and volunteer and beneficiary management — plus a public NGO directory that makes your organisation findable by donors searching for a verified 80G NGO. Where a platform does not publish pricing, an NGO cannot budget before a sales call, which is the practical difference for a small organisation. Verify Good Karma's current features and pricing directly with them before deciding.
Choose Sevastack if
- You want to see pricing before speaking to anyone, and start on a free plan
- 80G, Form 10BD, FCRA and fund accounting all have to be covered
- A public NGO profile that donors can find matters to your fundraising
- You would rather one platform than a donation tool plus an accounting tool
Look at Good Karma if
- They cover a workflow specific to your programme that Sevastack does not
- You are already deployed on it and migration cost outweighs the gap
- Their pricing, once quoted, works better for your size

Frequently asked
What is the main difference between Sevastack and Good Karma?+
Sevastack publishes transparent, public pricing with a free-forever plan and no credit card required. Good Karma positions itself as a broader NGO stakeholder management platform covering donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, compliance, and finance, but does not publish pricing publicly as of this comparison.
Does Good Karma have a free plan like Sevastack?+
Sevastack's free plan is publicly listed and includes unlimited 80G receipts, up to 50 donors, and 2 projects with no credit card required. Good Karma's pricing is not publicly listed — contact Good Karma directly to confirm current plans.
Which platform has a public NGO directory?+
Sevastack maintains a public, searchable directory of 80G/12A certified NGOs at sevastack.in/ngos. We did not find an equivalent public directory feature on Good Karma's website.
Can I migrate from Good Karma to Sevastack?+
Sevastack supports bulk CSV import for donors and donation history, so you can migrate your existing data by exporting it from your current platform and importing it into Sevastack — the same process used by NGOs migrating from Excel.
Which is better for a small NGO just starting out?+
For NGOs prioritizing a transparent free tier, fast setup, and 80G/FCRA compliance automation out of the box, Sevastack's public free plan removes the need for a sales conversation before you can start. Larger NGOs needing broader beneficiary-management workflows should evaluate both platforms against their specific requirements.
