Which should you choose?

GoCardless: Payment platform for direct debit and bank payments, popular for subscriptions and recurring invoices in the UK and Europe.

CCAvenue: One of India's long-running payment gateways with broad payment method coverage.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
