Does Invoay split CGST and SGST on invoices?

Yes — Invoay advertises "GST-ready billing (CGST, SGST, IGST) in less than 5 seconds". Bloom does not do this today: it shows GST as a single inclusive line rather than a separate CGST/SGST split, and does not add HSN/SAC codes. If your CA needs the CGST/SGST breakdown on every invoice, Invoay is ahead of Bloom on this specific point.

Which is more established?

Invoay. It states it is trusted by 7,000+ businesses across 355 Indian cities, and it is based in Noida. Its product also serves retail and other stores, not only salons, which reflects a point-of-sale background. Bloom is newer, smaller and built only for salons and beauty businesses.

Can I try either before paying?

Bloom gives you 14 days free with no card. Invoay's site offers a free live demo rather than a self-serve trial. It also states there are "No onboarding, set-up, or training fees", so neither product charges you to get started.

Veloqit Bloom vs Invoay: Honest Comparison for Indian Salons (2026)

The short version

Invoay is an established, Noida-based platform that states 7,000+ businesses across 355 Indian cities, with a point-of-sale background that shows in its retail, inventory and payroll depth. It is also ahead of Bloom on one thing Indian accountants care about: it advertises CGST, SGST and IGST invoicing, where Bloom shows a single inclusive GST line. On pricing, Invoay publishes only a headline "₹24/Day*" figure — roughly ₹730 a month before GST, usually on an annual contract — and no per-edition prices, so a fair price comparison needs a quote. Bloom publishes every plan, GST included, month-to-month or annual, with a 14-day trial and a WhatsApp bot that books inside the chat. Pick Invoay if CGST/SGST invoicing or retail depth matters most; pick Bloom if you want to see the full price up front.

Common questions

Invoay does not publish per-edition prices. Its pricing page names three editions — Start, Grow and Expand — and shows a single headline figure, "Starting at Just ₹24/Day*", with no matching footnote for the asterisk and no edition attached. Taken at face value, ₹24 a day is roughly ₹730 a month (₹24 × 365 ÷ 12). The page also states that prices are "exclusive of GST" and that "Most Invoay products use annual contracts." For an exact figure you would need a demo.

It is not possible to say from what Invoay publishes. Its ₹24/day figure works out to roughly ₹730 a month before GST on what is usually an annual contract, but it is a "starting at" figure with an unexplained asterisk, so it may not be the edition you need. Bloom's prices are published for every plan and include GST: ₹799 a month billed monthly, or ₹625 a month billed annually. Compare a real Invoay quote against those, GST-inclusive to GST-inclusive.

Invoay advertises WhatsApp for automated messages and reminders — "Send automated WhatsApp messages when a consumer does (or doesn't) anything" and "automated SMS/WhatsApp reminders" — and 24/7 online booking through a website or app. A conversational bot that completes the booking inside the WhatsApp chat is not advertised on its site. Bloom's bot holds the conversation in WhatsApp and confirms the slot itself.
