Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Inventory Lab
- InventoryLab is no longer sold standalone and is now bundled into Three Colts' Seller 365 plans starting at $69 per month for a single user, rising to $199 per month for the Pro tier
- Multichannel listing requires the separate UniCon add-on, priced from $49 to $449 per month depending on tier
Razorpay
- It requires an Indian legal entity and settles only to Indian bank accounts, so it is not an option for a business incorporated elsewhere no matter how many Indian customers it has.
- The transaction percentage applies to the full order value including shipping and tax rather than to the product price, so low margin categories with heavy shipping give up more of their margin than the quoted rate suggests.
- Payment aggregator authorisation sits with the Reserve Bank of India and has been withheld from aggregators before while applications were reviewed, so a dependency exists that no commercial contract term protects you from.
- Default settlement runs on a delayed cycle with faster settlement sold as a paid add-on, so a business that buys stock from its takings either waits for cash or pays extra for it, and that cost belongs in the effective rate.
- International card acceptance is priced higher and requires separate approval rather than being a configuration change, so cross-border revenue takes longer to switch on and earns less per order than a domestic sale.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Inventory Lab: What is the free trial period for Inventory Lab?
Inventory Lab offers a 14-day free trial, with bonus days awarded when connecting Amazon accounts.
SourceRazorpay: Can I use Razorpay if my company is not in India?
No. It requires an Indian entity and an Indian bank account for settlement. Overseas businesses selling into India need a different arrangement.

Yes, annual billing saves money: Standard saves $48/year, Teams saves $120/year, and Pro saves $192/year compared to monthly billing.
SourceRazorpay: What is the real effective rate?
The domestic percentage on the full order value including shipping and tax, plus higher international rates, plus any charge for faster settlement and dispute handling. Compute it from a month of settlement reports, not the pricing page.
Inventory Lab: Is there an add-on to use Inventory Lab on channels beyond Amazon?
Yes, the UniCon multichannel add-on is available starting at $49/month for expanding beyond Amazon.
SourceRazorpay: How quickly do I get paid?
On a delayed settlement cycle by default, with faster settlement available as a paid feature. Plan working capital around the default, not the add-on.
Razorpay: What is the main structural risk?
Regulatory. Indian payment aggregators operate under RBI authorisation and have previously been barred from onboarding new merchants. Keep a second processor integrated if payments are business-critical.
Razorpay: Does it support recurring billing?
Yes, built on India's mandate and e-mandate framework, which has its own rules on authentication and notification that differ from card-on-file recurring elsewhere.
