RichPOSCommon questions
Which is better, RichPOS or Marg ERP?
It depends on the business. Marg ERP is better for pharmacies, FMCG and distribution, e-invoices, e-way bills, TCS/TDS and on-ground support. RichPOS is better for a retail counter that wants browser-based billing with barcode, offers, loyalty, gift vouchers, day close and staff controls at ₹2,000 a year.
How much does Marg ERP cost compared with RichPOS?
On 18 October 2026 Marg's pricing page listed Nano at ₹5,550, Basic at ₹10,300, Silver at ₹13,900 and Gold at ₹26,000, with 18% GST extra and customisation extra, and ₹3,000 per extra user on the smaller editions. RichPOS is ₹99 a month for the first 3 months, then ₹199 a month, or ₹2,000 a year with all features. Prices change, so check both sites.
Does Marg ERP have features RichPOS does not?
Yes. Marg lists e-invoice and e-way bill support, TCS and TDS on each bill, mobile apps for orders and delivery, and a network of 850+ sales and support centres. RichPOS does not do e-invoices, e-way bills or on-site support.
Does RichPOS have features Marg ERP does not?
On the Marg pages we checked on 18 October 2026 we could not find automatic buy-X-get-Y offers, gift vouchers, day close with cash count or role-based discount limits. They may exist, so ask Marg if one of these matters to you.
Do I need to install RichPOS?
No. RichPOS runs in any browser and has an Android app, with your data in the cloud. You need an internet connection to bill. Marg ERP is installed after a demo.
Which is better for a medical store?
Most pharmacies that need e-invoices, deep pharma workflows and on-site support pick Marg ERP. RichPOS tracks batch and expiry with oldest-expiry-first selling and suits a smaller medical store that bills at the counter and does not need e-invoices or e-way bills.
