Pry (now part of Brex) is a clean forecasting and dashboard tool — but it lives inside Brex's ecosystem. Runway is independent, free, and native to Indian payment rails. Here's the honest split, including where Pry fits better.
| Feature | Pry | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| Price for founders | Free with Brex | Free forever |
| Independent (no bank account required) | ||
| Driver-based financial modeling | Strong | Lightweight scenarios |
| Live operating dashboard | ||
| AI chat over your financials | Limited | |
| Auto-drafted investor updates | ||
| Data room for investors | ||
| Investor ↔ founder matching | ||
| Built for India | ||
| INR-native + GST/TDS | ||
| Razorpay / Cashfree / Tally | ||
| Stripe / QuickBooks | ||
| Best fit | US startups already on Brex | Founders who want one free, independent tool (global + India) |
You're a US startup already banking on Brex, you want forecasting and a hiring plan bundled with your account, and India-native rails aren't a concern. Pry is a polished fit inside the Brex ecosystem.
You want a tool that isn't tied to a US bank account — one that syncs Razorpay, Cashfree, Tally, Zoho Books, Stripe and your bank, computes GST-aware runway, answers questions with an AI CFO, and drafts your investor update. And you want it free, independent of any banking provider.
Free forever for founders. Independent. INR-first. GST-aware.
