Proactiq OS is an AI-powered all-in-one business operating system built for Indian SMBs and enterprises. It combines 18 modules — CRM, HR, Payroll, Finance, GST, Projects, Helpdesk, Marketing, LMS, Procurement, Inventory, Documents, Workflow Automation, Contracts, Field Service, Business Intelligence, Collaboration, and an AI Command Brain — in a single platform. Pricing starts free and scales to ₹12,999/month for unlimited users.

Is Proactiq GST compliant?

Yes. Proactiq natively handles GST-compliant invoicing with automatic CGST/SGST/IGST splits, HSN/SAC code suggestions, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B preparation, ITC reconciliation, e-invoicing (IRN generation for businesses above ₹5 crore turnover), and e-way bill generation. No add-ons required.

Does Proactiq handle Indian payroll — PF, ESIC, and Professional Tax?

Yes. Proactiq's payroll module is built for Indian compliance. It automatically calculates Employee Provident Fund (PF at 12% of basic salary, capped at ₹15,000 wage ceiling), ESIC (for employees earning up to ₹21,000 gross — 0.75% employee and 3.25% employer contribution), state-specific Professional Tax (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Telangana and others), and TDS under Section 192 with investment declarations. It exports ECR files for the EPFO portal and generates ESIC and PT challan data.

What is the pricing for Proactiq?

Proactiq offers four plans, all priced in INR with no per-user fees: Free (3 users, 1 module), Starter at ₹2,999/month (10 users, all 18 modules, AI Command Brain), Growth at ₹6,999/month (25 users, AI Autopilot with automations), and Business at ₹12,999/month (unlimited users, full AI autonomy, SSO). Annual plans are available at a 20% discount.

What is the best Zoho One alternative in India?

Proactiq OS is the leading Zoho One alternative for Indian businesses. Unlike Zoho One (which is priced in USD and charges per user), Proactiq is priced in INR with no per-user fees, includes a free plan, and offers modules specifically built for Indian compliance — including GST-native invoicing, Indian payroll (PF, ESIC, PT), and a GST AI Assistant. Proactiq starts at ₹2,999/month for all 18 modules.

What is the best Tally alternative for growing companies?

Proactiq OS is a modern cloud-based alternative to Tally for growing Indian businesses. Unlike Tally, Proactiq combines accounting and GST filing with CRM, HR, payroll, projects, and helpdesk in one platform. It offers real-time collaborative access for multiple team members, AI-generated financial insights, and automated GST return preparation — features Tally does not offer natively.

Best Zoho Alternative for Indian Businesses in 2026

Zoho charges per user, forces you into a maze of products, and still doesn't handle GST natively. Here's why Indian SMBs are switching to Proactiq OS.

Why Indian businesses loved Zoho — and why they're leaving

Zoho was built in India. You'd expect it to nail Indian compliance. But the reality is different.

GSTR-1 export isn't part of Zoho CRM — you need Zoho Books, which is a separate product with a separate subscription. Payroll that handles PF, ESIC, and PT automatically? That's Zoho Payroll, another subscription. Projects, CRM, HR, Finance — each is a separate Zoho app, each with its own pricing, data, and interface.

By the time you run an Indian SMB on "Zoho", you're often paying for 4-6 Zoho products and spending a week just getting them to talk to each other.

The real cost of Zoho for an Indian team

Let's be specific. A 15-person Indian business using Zoho typically needs:

Proactiq OS Growth Plan: ₹2,999/month. All modules. All 15 users. No extra products.

What Proactiq does differently

GST-native, not GST-bolted-on: Every invoice in Proactiq auto-calculates CGST/SGST/IGST based on the customer's state. GSTR-1 data is always ready. No separate Books product needed.

One platform, 19 modules: CRM, Projects, HRMS, Payroll, Finance, Helpdesk, LMS, Marketing, Inventory — all under one login, one data model, one price.

AI across everything: The AI in Proactiq works across all modules. Ask it about sales, projects, payroll, or compliance — same AI, same context.

Indian payroll built-in: PF, ESIC, PT, TDS calculations are in the core HR module. No separate payroll subscription.

Who should switch from Zoho to Proactiq?

Switch if you:

Are spending ₹8,000+ per month on multiple Zoho products

Have a team of 5-25 people

Run operations primarily in India

Spend too much time syncing data between Zoho apps

Are frustrated with per-user pricing that grows with your team

Stay on Zoho if you:

Have complex international operations needing deep Zoho integrations

Are a large enterprise with a dedicated IT team managing Zoho

Have heavily customised Zoho with hundreds of custom workflows
