Ekam vs Zerodha Kite
Zerodha Kite is a trading terminal (zerodha). Ekam is the household ledger — every account and asset class in one honest number, built from statements you already have. Here's how they actually differ — and where Zerodha Kite is the better tool.
A broker-agnostic personal-wealth aggregator built on statements you already have — no broker login — folding equity, mutual funds, US stocks, EPF, FDs, bonds and cash into a single net worth, with advisor-grade analytics on top and nothing to sell you.
Zerodha's flagship trading terminal for fast execution and live charts. It's a place to trade, not to aggregate — and the statements it hands you are exactly what Ekam reads.
Kite is where you trade; Ekam is where you understand the result — it reads the statement Kite gives you and turns positions into a whole-wealth picture.
Where Ekam fits better
- Aggregates the very Zerodha data Kite shows — plus every other broker and asset — into one net worth.
- Advisor-grade analytics and a household view Kite isn't built for.
- Offline-resilient: your net worth stays visible with no live session anywhere.
- Combines funds, US stocks, EPF, FDs and cash that Kite never sees.
Where Zerodha Kite is stronger
- Fast, reliable trade execution — the thing Ekam deliberately never does.
- Live charts, GTT orders and watchlists for active trading.
- The API and ecosystem Ekam itself depends on.

Two plans, no add-ons, and no trial — Individual is free forever, not a runway: one net worth across every Indian asset class for one person, with unlimited accounts, imports, holdings, XIRR, end-of-day prices, in-app alerts and the whole Indian tax year (realised gains, the estimate and harvesting room), plus 12 months of rolling history and 2 open goals. Family (₹3,999 a year + GST) covers six people under one roll-up with a per-member view, and folds in the Wealth Lab — stress test, liquidity ladder, tax drag, real return, fund-rating changes — plus foreign assets and accounts, the tax year per member, the Sunday email digest, and unlimited history and goals; people beyond six are ₹399 + GST each a year (introductory, ₹499 later) on the same invoice, up to 12. Prices exclude GST. Billing is not open yet: accounts opened before it starts keep a founding price of ₹2,499 + GST a year for as long as they stay subscribed. Schedule FA/Form 67, PDF reports, an estate register and a CA share link are described as on the way, not sold. A Wealth Advisor tier (₹9,999/yr reference price) for CAs, RIAs and family offices managing several clients' books is on the roadmap, not yet built or sold.

Sources & methodology
Capabilities were compiled from Zerodha Kite's own pages and reputable reviews (checked June 2026). Indian fintech features and pricing change frequently and are often promo-driven; treat figures as point-in-time. "Partial" marks a real but narrower capability or one we could not fully verify — hover any dotted mark above for the specific caveat.
