Common questions

Which is the cheapest GST billing software for a retail shop?

Among the apps compared here, RichPOS is ₹2,000/year with all features, Vyapar Silver desktop is about ₹3,399/year, Marg ERP Nano is ₹5,550 and Zoho Inventory Standard is ₹999/month billed yearly. Khatabook's ledger is free but it does not make GST invoices. Prices are as listed by each vendor in September 2026, excluding GST.

Is RichPOS a good Vyapar alternative?

Yes, if you bill at a counter with a barcode scanner, run more than one store or repair phones. RichPOS runs in any browser with cloud backup and costs ₹2,000/year. Vyapar suits very small businesses that mostly send invoices from a desktop or mobile app.

Can Khatabook make GST invoices?

No. Khatabook is a credit (udhaar) ledger with payment reminders. For GST invoices, barcode billing and stock you need billing software such as RichPOS, which also keeps a customer credit ledger.

Do I need Tally if I use RichPOS?

Not for billing. RichPOS makes GST bills and GST reports by HSN that you can export to Excel or PDF for your CA. Some CAs still keep final books in Tally; RichPOS exports make that easy.
