Runway vs Pryfor startup financial planning

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.

When to pick Pry

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.

When to pick Runway

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.
