Vyapar vs myBillBook vs Gaddibook (2026)

Vyapar vs myBillBook is one of the most common questions shop owners ask when they move from paper bills to software. Both are popular GST billing apps in India. In this guide we compare Vyapar vs myBillBook, and add Gaddibook (our own app) to the table, so you can see the differences on price, features and fit. We have tried to keep this fair: check each company's official website for current prices before you decide.

Quick comparison table

Competitor prices above are taken from third-party comparison sites published in 2026 and can change. Plan names and limits also change, so confirm on the official websites.

Vyapar: strengths and limits

Vyapar is one of the best-known billing apps in India, with a large user base and a lot of Hindi video content. Its strengths are a simple interface, strong offline desktop software, and wide coverage of everyday billing needs: GST invoices, inventory, basic accounting and WhatsApp sharing.

Points to consider: the most useful features sit on paid plans, and desktop and mobile access are priced differently. If you need more users or advanced reports, check which plan includes them.

myBillBook: strengths and limits

myBillBook works well on mobile and web, with a clean interface, barcode billing, invoice customisation and good GST reporting. It is popular with small retailers and service businesses who mainly bill from a phone.

Points to consider: entry plans are designed for a single business and user. Features such as multi-user access, POS billing and e-invoicing are generally on the higher Enterprise plan, so growing businesses should compare that price.

Gaddibook: strengths and limits

Gaddibook is newer and smaller than both. Its strengths are interfaces in Hindi, Bengali and Hinglish as well as English, a built-in khata with WhatsApp reminders, and on-site setup by our team in our service area, which helps owners who are not comfortable setting up software alone.

Points to consider: Gaddibook has fewer users and a smaller library of tutorials than the older apps, and our paid plans are priced above the entry plans of Vyapar and myBillBook. We think the Starter plan is worth it for shops that need its features, but compare carefully for your own needs.

Features compared in detail

GST compliance. All three create GST tax invoices with HSN codes, CGST/SGST or IGST, and export GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data. If your turnover is above the e-invoicing limit, check that e-invoice (IRN) generation is included in the plan you pick, not only in the most expensive one.

Inventory. All three track stock, low-stock alerts and item-wise reports. For batch and expiry tracking (pharmacies, FMCG), godown-wise stock or serial numbers, compare the specific plan carefully, since these are often limited to higher tiers.

Customer credit. Each app records credit sales. Gaddibook builds the khata into billing, with WhatsApp reminders and credit limits in its plans. Compare how reminders are sent and whether they cost extra.

Users and devices. This is where costs usually rise. A shop with one counter and the owner as the only user can stay on a basic plan. Once you add a second counter, a salesman or an accountant login, check the price of the plan that allows it.

Support. All three offer phone or chat support. Owners who want hands-on help often value a person who can visit; Gaddibook offers this within our service area in North Bengal.

Working out the real yearly cost

Plan prices alone can mislead. Add up what you will actually pay in a year:

1. The plan you need for your number of users and features.
2. GST on the subscription, if not already included.
3. Any add-ons, such as extra users, extra businesses or bulk SMS.
4. Hardware: a thermal printer and barcode scanner, which work with all three apps.

A plan that looks cheaper can end up costing more once you add a second user. Compare like with like.

Which app suits which business?

• Single-counter kirana or general store, owner bills alone: all three work. Take a demo or trial and see which interface your staff prefers.
• Shop that bills mostly from a phone: myBillBook and Gaddibook are both mobile-friendly; Vyapar's mobile app is also widely used.
• Distributor or wholesaler with salesmen: compare multi-user pricing and e-way bill support across all three. Our distributor billing software page explains Gaddibook's approach.
• Owner who prefers Bengali or Hinglish: Gaddibook supports both.
• Business that wants someone to come and set it up: Gaddibook offers on-site setup in our service area.

How to choose: a 7-day test

Do not choose from a comparison article alone, including this one. Instead:

1. Shortlist two apps.
2. Enter 20 of your real items with HSN codes and rates in each.
3. Make a week of real bills in both, side by side, during quiet hours.
4. Print on your own printer, and share a bill on WhatsApp.
5. Export a GSTR-1 report and show it to your CA.
6. Ask your staff which one they found easier.
7. Compare the yearly cost of the plan you will actually need, not the cheapest one.

Moving your data from one app to another

Most apps let you export items, customers and suppliers to Excel. Import those into the new app, and enter opening stock and customer balances on a fixed date, such as the first day of a month. Keep the old app's data for at least the period your CA needs it. Gaddibook's team helps with this import for shops in our service area.

Things that matter more than the brand

Whatever app you choose, the results depend on a few habits: a clean item list with correct HSN codes, every sale billed (including credit sales), and a daily cash and UPI tally. Our kirana store billing tips cover these in detail. You can also see Gaddibook's plans on the pricing page.
