Choose Vyapar if you're a small or medium Indian business that wants a complete, affordable GST billing and inventory solution. It works offline, is incredibly easy to use, and has plans for every business type — from kirana shops to distributors and manufacturers.
Choose Tally Prime if you have a chartered accountant, run a medium-to-large business, or need advanced features like payroll, multi-currency, or full double-entry accounting. It's the most powerful option but requires training and costs more.
Choose My BillBook if you're just starting out and want a free or very low-cost billing tool. It's simple, mobile-first, and works well for tiny shops. Upgrade to Vyapar once you need more inventory control or GST report features.
Choose Zoho Books if you run a service business or freelance work, need client portals and automated payment reminders, or want cloud-based accounting with strong automation. The free plan for businesses under ₹50L turnover is excellent value.
