About SPEQTA GST

SPEQTA GST is desktop tax-compliance software for Indian chartered accountants, consultants and tax firms preparing GSTR-1, 3B, 9, 9C and related returns, downloading 2A/2B data and reconciling invoices against books. The vendor describes offline preparation, validation, Excel/Tally/BUSY/Marg imports and local client-data storage, with network access when filing or downloading GST portal records. Current plan names are Startup, Gold, Platinum and Additional LAN, with GSTIN capacity tiers; an ICAI member promotion advertises free Startup use, while the ICAI partner portal also publishes discounted paid rates, so eligibility and charge need written confirmation.

Best for

Practicing Indian chartered accountants handling GSTR filing and purchase/ITC reconciliation for 20 to 100 or more client GSTINs, who prefer desktop-oriented work.

SPEQTA GST pros and cons

Pros

  • Vendor documents preparation for multiple GST return formats including GSTR-1, 3B, 9 and 9C.
  • Matching workflows cover GSTR-2A, 2B, GSTR-3B and books/invoices, including annual comparisons.
  • Can ingest Excel, Tally, BUSY and Marg-related templates for client records, subject to current import compatibility.
  • Desktop/offline preparation can keep working files locally between GST portal uploads and downloads.
  • Startup, Gold and Platinum plans disclose 20, 100 and unlimited GSTIN capacity; qualifying ICAI members may activate a free Startup entitlement.

Cons

  • −Pricing information conflicts: the vendor says ICAI members can use Startup free for three years, while ICAI's partner page lists discounted Startup and other paid rates.
  • −A Windows desktop installation and LAN licensing workflow are less suited to teams needing a mobile-first, centrally hosted client portal.
  • −Published website text names Google Drive backups alongside local data storage, so actual privacy, encryption, account permissions and disaster recovery require testing.
  • −Independent review-site coverage is thin: SoftwareSuggest lists zero reviews and no exact G2/Capterra aggregate was verified.
  • −Some website items are expressly marked upcoming, including client SMS/email reminders; they must not be presented as delivered features.
