Frequently asked questions

What is a good all-in-one app for NGOs in India?

An app for an Indian NGO ideally covers the full field-research cycle in one place: survey data collection, voice/interview capture, participatory (PRA) exercises, GPS verification, M&E dashboards, and donor/CSR reporting. FieldNotes combines all of these and adds India-specific tools — 12 Indian languages, FCRA and CSR compliance tracking, and a CSR funding map — so teams don't have to stitch several apps together.

Are there free apps for NGOs?

FieldNotes offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, and two tools — the Bharat CSR Funding Map and the M&E Indicator Library — are free to use without any login. Paid plans start from ₹29/day (about ₹870/month) for individual researchers, with team and enterprise plans available. All prices are in INR.

Can apps for NGOs work offline in rural areas?

Yes. FieldNotes is built offline-first: surveys, voice recording, PRA tools, and GPS capture all work without internet using on-device storage, then sync automatically when you reconnect. This is designed for villages and remote field sites where connectivity is unreliable.

Which features should an NGO app have?

For Indian NGOs the practical checklist is: multilingual data collection, offline capability, GPS/timestamp verification for data integrity, a built-in M&E framework (Theory of Change and LogFrame), and reporting that supports CSR and FCRA requirements. FieldNotes was built around this checklist rather than as a generic form builder.

Is FieldNotes suitable for small grassroots NGOs?

Yes. Small organisations can start on the individual plan, use the free CSR Funding Map and Indicator Library, and run the whole field-to-report workflow without a separate data team. Role-based team workspaces are available when you grow.
