Which should you choose?

Razorpay: Payment gateway with UPI, cards, netbanking and wallets, plus payment links, pages, subscriptions and invoices.

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.
