Best GST Billing Software for Small Business in India (2026)

The case for

• Yearly pricing is published in rupees at ₹3,490 for Diamond and ₹3,990 for Platinum, with Enterprise from ₹570 a month.
• Every plan includes an extra CA login alongside your own user, so your accountant does not consume a paid seat.
• All plans carry a 7 day money back guarantee, and payment works over UPI, net banking, cards and wallets.

The catch

• Diamond and Platinum both give exactly 1 user plus 1 CA, so a second biller forces you onto the Enterprise plan.
• E-way bills and e-invoicing are Enterprise only, which starts at ₹570 a month billed annually against ₹291 for Diamond.
• The desktop app arrives only at Platinum, so Diamond buyers are limited to Android, iOS and the web app.

The case for

• Prices are published in rupees with GST stated separately, and a 360 day subscription starts at 5,000 rupees for a single user.
• E-invoice and e-way bill generation, GST reconciliation and audit trail are built in rather than sold as separate Indian compliance add-ons.
• A free Express edition exists for a single user, so a very small trader keeps real books without paying anything.

The catch

• Perpetual licences still need an annual BUSY License Subscription, and letting it lapse switches off e-invoice, e-way bill, GST reconciliation and audit trail.
• Renewal charges vary by edition and by how late you renew, so a lapsed licence costs more than an on-time renewal.
• Plans are capped by e-invoice count, 10,000 on SMART and 20,000 on POWER, so invoice volume alone pushes you up a tier.

The case for

• Annual pricing is published in full, with Accounts Lite at ₹5,900, Accounts Pro at ₹15,000 and Workflows at ₹22,000.
• GST work is built into Accounts Pro, covering e-invoices, e-way bills, GSTR-1, GSTR-2B reconciliation and GSTR-3B summaries.
• The free tier allows 15 documents with 2 users and unlimited cloud storage, enough to judge the product before paying.

The catch

• All listed prices exclude GST, so the invoice you actually pay is 18% above every figure shown on the pricing page.
• Seats are tight, with 2 users on Accounts Lite, 3 on Accounts Pro and 5 on both Workflows and Operations.
• Several features inside paid plans carry further charges, including the Freya AI assistant, digital signatures and multi-business management.

The case for

• The Android only Silver licence costs 699 rupees for a full year, which is a cheap way to run GST billing from a phone.
• Prices are quoted in rupees by an Indian company, so there is no forex markup and no dollar invoice to reconcile later.
• A three year Gold desktop and mobile licence at 9,899 rupees works out near 3,300 rupees a year, well under annual renewal pricing.

The catch

• Desktop and Android are separate licences, so billing from a shop computer and a phone means buying the Desktop plus Mobile plan rather than one.
• Every plan shows a struck through MRP roughly 40 to 50 percent above the selling price, so the discount is permanent and the headline saving unreal.
• The licence is tied to a device ID, and changing your phone or updating the software makes Vyapar ask you to buy or transfer it again.

The case for

• TallyPrime Silver is a one time licence at 22,500 rupees plus GST, so there is no per user subscription climbing every year.
• The software keeps running after TSS lapses, so an expired renewal does not lock you out of your own books.
• GST, TDS and TCS statutory updates ship through TSS, so return formats stay current with government changes while the subscription is active.

The catch

• TSS renewal costs 4,500 rupees a year on Silver and 13,500 on Gold, and without it GST format updates stop arriving.
• Advertised licence prices exclude 18 percent GST, so Silver actually lands at 26,550 rupees and Gold at 79,650 rupees.
• Remote access, data sync and every internet dependent feature stop the moment TSS expires, even though local data entry keeps working.

The case for

• Cloud-native with strong India GST support
• Connects to the wider Zoho suite

The catch

• Switching cost if your accountant is Tally-only
• Advanced needs may require higher tiers or add-ons
