A one-time WordPress build, a yearly system that runs your receipting and compliance, or a coded platform made to order. They are not tiers of the same thing — they are different answers, and the right one depends on whether your problem is the website or everything behind it. All three prices are on this page.
If you only need to be found, be trusted and collect a donation, the first one is enough. If you are issuing 80G receipts and filing 10BD, the second is the honest answer. The third exists for organisations whose way of working does not fit either.
Your organisation needs to be represented properly online and to accept donations — but the receipting, compliance and donor systems are handled elsewhere, or not yet needed.
You issue 80G receipts, you file 10BD, you keep donor records, and you would rather all of it lived in one register than in six systems and a spreadsheet.
You have a way of working that no platform will accommodate — an unusual programme structure, an integration with something you already run, or a portal your beneficiaries log into.
Where a row says “built to your requirement”, that is not a dodge — a coded build can do any of it, and the cost depends on how much of it you ask for.

The question that decides it. Ask who issues your 80G receipts today, and how. If the answer involves a spreadsheet, a template and somebody’s evening, the website is not your problem — and a website will not fix it.

Hosting and domain are ₹2,500 + GST for the first year if you do not already have them. Payment is 50% to begin, 30% at first draft, 20% on handover — and the clock starts only once the advance, your content and your access credentials are all in.
Answer this instead: in twelve months, do you want to be maintaining a website, or running an organisation on a system? If it is the second, start on Give Setu — the website is included inside it, so you are not buying one twice. If owning the code outright matters more to you than any of the rest of it, buy the ₹35,000 WordPress build instead. It is yours on handover, and we would rather say that than sell you a subscription you did not want.
