Fab ERP’s November 2, 2026 launch announcement gives Indian manufacturers two ways to obtain attendance tracking: choose Gold, or add attendance to Silver. A useful comparison starts with the functions your team needs, then adds the stated tax to the monthly price.

Fab ERP’s company-issued launch release: plans and pricing

Put the add-on beside the plan price

The company lists Silver at ₹2,499 monthly and Gold at ₹4,999, plus 18% GST. Attendance is a ₹500 monthly add-on to Silver. Gold adds the Production Board, attendance and priority WhatsApp support. The release describes Silver as covering the dashboard, mailbox, orders, database, transactions, cashbook, clients ledger and Fabio assistant.

  • Silver: ₹2,499 × 1.18 = ₹2,948.82 per month including the stated GST.
  • Silver with attendance: (₹2,499 + ₹500) × 1.18 = ₹3,538.82 per month including the stated GST.
  • Gold: ₹4,999 × 1.18 = ₹5,898.82 per month including the stated GST.

The calculated difference between Gold and Silver with attendance is ₹2,000 before GST, or ₹2,360 including it. This calculation applies the announcement’s 18% rate uniformly to the listed monthly charges. It is an arithmetic illustration, not an inspected invoice, a tax assessment or a complete implementation quote.

Choose the workflow you intend to trial

For a fictional workshop that wants order records and attendance first, Silver with the add-on is one option to ask the supplier about. A second fictional workshop might need to track jobs through production as well. Its evaluation should include the Production Board listed under Gold. The price difference alone cannot establish which setup meets either workshop’s needs.

Write down one ordinary task for each required function. For attendance, use a disposable sample roster and ask an authorised supervisor to demonstrate marking a day and checking the resulting monthly record. For production, ask for a separate demonstration of a sample job’s progress. These are suggested evaluation exercises; no Fab ERP account or workflow was tested for this article.

Record the trial’s billing dates

The company says each plan begins with a 14-day free trial, with an auto-pay mandate set up first and no charge for 14 days. Its companion release repeats those terms. Before enrolling, request the exact trial end, first debit, renewal and cancellation details for your proposed plan and add-on.

Keep the supplier’s dated confirmation beside your worksheet. Include any quoted setup, migration, training or other charges in separate rows, and leave unanswered items pending. Recalculate if the plan, tax treatment or add-on changes. The amounts above compare the published monthly subscription components only; they do not predict savings for a real business.
