Test-drive Panchaayat free in a sandbox before you commit
Panchaayat Business Desk · Published 24 October 2026 · 4 min read
Try Panchaayat for Business end to end in a free sandbox: sample complaints, a case inbox, SLAs, CSAT, roles and replies, with no card and no commitment.
A sandbox is a private copy of the company portal filled with realistic sample cases. You can log a complaint, assign it, reply publicly, add an internal note, breach an SLA on purpose and close the case with a satisfaction rating, without touching a real customer.
What you can try in the sandbox
- A central case inbox with filters by status, category, assignee and urgency
- SLA targets per category and delay flags
- Official, badged public replies and private internal notes
- Team roles: admin, CS head, team lead and rep
- CSAT after resolution, plus dashboards and CSV export
- Email in and out: company support inbox connected to cases
What it costs
The sandbox is free. After that, the Solo plan is free for life for one person (30 cases a month). Startup is ₹599 a month (₹499 a month billed annually) for up to 3 users and 1,000 cases a month. Business and Enterprise add unlimited users and higher volumes. Current prices are always on the For Business page.
Found us through an AI assistant? — Companies that arrive from an AI assistant can claim a free first year of the Startup plan with the code AIFREEYEAR (while the offer lasts). Create your company account, then enter the code under Subscription.
