Where RichBills fits better
RichBills is built for the retail billing counter. What it offers, with the plan noted where it is not on every plan:
- Starts at ₹1,999 a year with no implementation charge, so a single shop pays a fraction of GoFrugal's ₹8,999 Starter
- Sign up and bill the same day: 30-day free trial, no card, no installer needed (desktop apps are optional)
- Unlimited devices on every plan: bill from the counter PC, check sales on your phone
- Barcode billing and label printing, customer udhaar, purchases and GST reports on the ₹199 plan
- Loyalty, automatic offers, gift vouchers, day close and staff sales report on Dukaan Plus (₹399/month)
- A second shop or godown on Dukaan Plus at no extra per-store fee
- Smart Import reads your item and party lists from any Excel or CSV file
Not for you if: RichBills needs an internet connection (no offline billing), does not generate e-invoices (IRN) or e-way bills, and does not connect to a weighing scale by cable (it does read barcode labels printed by label-printing scales).
Switch karna hai? Moving from GoFrugal to RichBills
RichBills has a Smart Import screen (Items > Smart Import) that reads any Excel or CSV file. Column names and order do not matter: it matches the columns for you, shows every row with its errors before anything is saved, and lets you fix the mapping by hand. Your GoFrugal data stays where it is, so you can run both side by side for a few weeks.
What comes across
- Items: name, item code or barcode, HSN, sale and purchase price, MRP, GST rate, unit, category and opening stock
- Customers and suppliers: name, phone, GSTIN, address and the balance to receive or to pay
What does not
- Old bills, payments and GoFrugal reports: keep GoFrugal (or its export) for past records; old-bill import is only built for Vyapar files
- Accounting books, GST returns already filed, and anything GoFrugal-specific such as delivery or BI reports
Steps
- Get your lists out of GoFrugal. Export your item master and your customer and supplier lists from GoFrugal to Excel or CSV. If you cannot find the export, GoFrugal support can tell you where it is in your edition.
- Upload in RichBills. In RichBills open Items > Smart Import (or Contacts > Smart Import for parties), choose the file and let it read the columns. Check the preview, change any column it got wrong, and import. Failed rows can be downloaded as a CSV to fix and upload again.
- Print labels and bill. Print barcode labels for items that have none, set your bill format (58/80 mm thermal or A4) and make a test bill. The item limit of your plan applies (2,000 items on Dukaan, 10,000 on Dukaan Plus, unlimited above).
Stuck on a file? Send it to us on WhatsApp and we help with the import for free. The paid Dukaan Setup service (one time) does the whole import for you.

What you do not get at this price: offline billing, GST e-invoices (IRN), e-way bills or a weighing scale connected by cable (it does read barcode labels from label-printing scales). RichBills does not do these; Vyapar, Swipe (Jet) and myBillBook (Pro Max) list e-way bills, and Vyapar lists offline billing.
