3 Simple Steps
How It Works
Versatile Accounting and Billing Software for Every Sector
When do businesses outgrow Vyapar?
Vyapar is a popular billing app for small shops, and it is quick to start with. Businesses usually look for an alternative when the accounting side starts to matter: the CA wants proper ledgers and a trial balance, more staff need access, stock has to be billed by sqft, weight or batch, or the owner wants controls such as an audit trail. hisabkitab is built by Chartered Accountants for that next stage.
What does hisabkitab add?
Compared with a billing-first app, hisabkitab gives you:
Full double-entry books with Day Book, Trial Balance, Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet
Custom fields and formulas at item, invoice and ledger level, for example sqft = length × breadth × pieces
Multiple users and companies on one plan, plus a login for your CA
Audit trail and transaction freeze on the Advanced plan
AI that reads bank statements and supplier bills into entries
How does pricing compare?
Vyapar sells yearly plans by device type, with a free basic mobile app. hisabkitab costs ₹2,999, ₹4,999 or ₹6,999 a year (exclusive of 18% GST), and each plan works across the browser, Android and iOS with the same login, along with e-invoicing, e-way bills and WhatsApp reminders.
How do I move from Vyapar?
Export your parties, items and opening balances from Vyapar to Excel and share them with hisabkitab’s team. The data is imported and checked at no extra charge, so you can start billing with your existing masters.
When is Vyapar enough?
If you run a single small shop, bill mostly from one phone and do not need your CA to work in the same books, Vyapar may be all you need. Once you add staff, branches, complex stock or audit needs, hisabkitab’s free plan is an easy way to compare.
