Greenio

Greenio is a carbon-accounting service for Indian businesses that need to track emissions and prepare local sustainability reports. It is best suited to smaller companies whose operations or finance teams lack specialist carbon-accounting staff. Its central appeal is the combination of Scope 1–3 tracking and India-focused reporting; the right plan depends heavily on how often you export reports and how many people need access.

Overview

Greenio tracks Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, with views by month, source and hotspot. That gives teams more to work with than a single footprint total: they can identify where emissions are concentrated over time. Users can enter electricity, gas, fuel and refrigerant data, and estimates are supported, a useful option for non-specialists working with incomplete records.

The India-specific methods are a strong fit for companies preparing local disclosures. Greenio says it uses BEE-standard methods and CEA/BEE emission factors, and offers BRSR and ESG reporting alongside CCTS Verify and Snapshot downloads. Board-ready PDF exports help turn tracking into reporting material. The limitation is that export allowances on the lower tiers can constrain teams that report regularly.

Key features

Data collection and reporting

Bulk data import, bill scanning and Tally integration can help bring business records into the accounting workflow. Supplier engagement and an audit trail support work that extends beyond one company’s direct activity. These features make Greenio more suitable for ongoing reporting than a basic footprint calculator, though the plan limits still matter: the Free tier allows only four PDF reports annually, while Growth allows 12 reports in PDF, CSV or Excel format.

Security and data retention

Greenio says it stores data on EU-based Supabase servers and protects it with TLS in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, row-level security and role-based access controls. It says it does not sell user data or use it to train AI models without explicit consent, and uses only essential session cookies. Account and emissions data remain while an account is active and for seven years after closure; users have 30 days after closure to export their data. That retention period is worth considering before adopting the service for long-term records.

Pricing

Greenio has a free plan and three paid tiers, with a 30-day trial on Growth and Pro and a 14-day trial on Enterprise. The plan structure makes the trade-off clear: more reporting capacity, collaborators and specialist modules arrive at substantially higher monthly prices.

• Free — free: Unlimited data entry, Scope 1–3 tracking, AI recommendations, an activity log and four PDF reports per year. It is a sensible starting point for a single team that wants to build an account and reports infrequently, but the PDF-only annual cap is a significant constraint.
• Growth — ₹2,999 a month: 12 PDF, CSV or Excel reports per year, BRSR and ESG reporting, monthly logging reminders, email support and a 30-day free trial. It suits smaller teams that need regular India-focused reporting and formats beyond PDF, but the 12-report quota remains a ceiling.
• Pro — ₹5,999 a month: Unlimited exports, up to 10 team members and 10 suppliers, Snapshot and refrigerant automation, plus a 30-day free trial. This is the more practical choice when export volume or supplier work outgrows Growth; the fixed team and supplier caps make it less suitable for larger organizations.
• Enterprise — ₹49,999 a month: CCTS and BEE PAT modules, unlimited team members and suppliers, multi-entity support, audit packages, API access, dedicated onboarding and support, and a 14-day free trial. It is aimed at organizations with more complex reporting structures or a need for API access, but its price is a major step up from Pro.

Platforms

Greenio is available on the web and through an API. Enterprise includes API access; that makes the top tier the relevant option for organizations that need to connect the platform programmatically. Greenio’s other listed platform features include bulk import, Tally integration and bill scanning.

Who it's for

Greenio is designed for Indian companies with 1–250 employees and for non-specialists, including operations and finance teams. It is a particularly good fit when a smaller business needs Scope 1–3 accounting tied to BRSR, ESG or CCTS workflows. Companies that need more than 10 team members or suppliers, multiple entities, or API access should weigh Enterprise against the sizeable price increase; businesses without India-focused reporting needs may find its strongest differentiator less relevant.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Scope 1–3 tracking with monthly, source and hotspot views gives teams ways to examine their footprint, not just record a total.
• Pros: BEE-standard methods, CEA/BEE factors and BRSR, ESG and CCTS outputs suit Indian reporting needs.
• Pros: Data entry and estimates, plus import, bill scanning and Tally integration, give non-specialist teams multiple ways to assemble an account.
• Cons: Free limits users to four PDF reports per year, and Growth to 12 reports annually, so frequent reporting requires Pro’s unlimited exports.
• Cons: Pro caps capacity at 10 team members and suppliers; unlimited capacity and API access require the much more expensive Enterprise tier.
• Cons: Seven-year post-closure retention and a 30-day export window may not suit every organization’s data-handling requirements.

Alternatives

Compare carbon accounting software if you want to evaluate more options category by category. Carbonfact is worth considering when the priority is supplier environmental-data exchange and free LCA verification, rather than Greenio’s India-focused reporting mix. CarbonTool offers a 30-day full-access Starter plan with Scope 1+2 core measurement, so it may suit a buyer who wants to begin with those emissions scopes. EcoReko has a forever-free plan limited to one user and one site, making it an alternative for a very small operation seeking a narrower free setup. CarbonInk is a free desktop option for macOS and Windows, rather than a web-and-API service. Hedgehog Carbon Platform has a free web plan for one user and one entity with five emissions sources, which may fit a smaller, tightly scoped inventory. Persefoni offers a free single-user self-service plan with unlimited assets and historical reporting years, making it another option for an individual user. CO2 AI is an alternative with enterprise positioning and a 30-day free trial. ACT Group Decarbonization Platform uses program-based pricing rather than per-seat pricing, which may be preferable when the scope and complexity of a decarbonization program drive the purchase.

Verdict

Greenio is a strong choice for an Indian small or midsize company that needs Scope 1–3 accounting and BRSR, ESG or CCTS reporting without a specialist team. Its most compelling reason to choose it is the pairing of local reporting support with broad data collection and emissions views. Look elsewhere if your work does not depend on those India-specific outputs, or if your team needs higher capacity or API access without moving to Enterprise.
