Cons
- Niche, India-Centric Focus: The platform is specifically built for Hindu temples, limiting its applicability to other religious institutions or geographies without significant customization.
- Pricing Not Publicly Listed: No transparent pricing information is available on the website; potential clients must contact the team for quotes, which can slow down decision-making.
- Limited Self-Service Onboarding: Setup appears to require direct engagement with the Shivam team rather than a self-serve trial or demo, which may be a barrier for smaller temples.
