Gen GST is filing software with its prices on the page: an installation charge, then a yearly update, in desktop and online editions. It files the regular and annual returns and has separate editions for e-invoice and e-way bill. Greenote files nothing, so on the central question the answer is simple.
Greenote sits before it. Gen GST imports data from Tally; Greenote is how a lot of that data reaches Tally in the first place, and it checks the 2B, GSTR-1 and 3B figures against the books before you carry them into whatever you file with. The two are more often used together than swapped.
Who Gen GST suits
A CA or tax professional filing for many GSTINs who wants a low yearly update charge.
A practice that wants a desktop edition and a browser edition from one vendor.
An office that needs e-invoice and e-way bill work beside returns.

Gen GST and Greenote, side by side
When Gen GST is the better choice
Greenote does not do what Gen GST does. These are the cases where it is the one to buy.
You need to file. Gen GST files GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-4, GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C, with DSC or EVC. Greenote does not file.
You want unlimited GSTINs at a low yearly update charge. Their desktop e-filing edition has a low price, and it is published.
You need e-invoice and e-way bill generation. They sell editions for both. Greenote does neither.
You want a browser edition and a mobile edition as well as a desktop one.

- The GST work is in the Books and GST plan, which is ₹11,999 a year for one person and includes everything in Starter.

- Does Greenote issue a GST invoice?
- No. Greenote is not GST-registered, so no GST is added to the listed price and the amount shown is the amount charged. The trade-off is that there is no GST invoice and therefore no input tax credit for your firm. If input credit matters more to you than the headline price, a GST-registered vendor is the better commercial choice.
