All software listed handle Indian GST compliance: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 annual return, e-invoicing (IRN), e-way bill, HSN/SAC codes, place of supply rules. Differences are in usability, accounting depth, and industry specialisation. Annual TSS (Tally) and AMC (Marg) keep your software updated as GST laws change — these renewals are essential for compliance.
WhatsApp +91 98119 98370. As authorised partner for Zoho Books, Tally Prime, and Marg, we install/configure your chosen software, create company with GST registration details, set up chart of accounts and HSN/SAC codes, import opening balances, and train your accountant or business owner.
Vyapar Free is the cheapest at ₹0/month, but desktop-only on free tier. For mobile-first billing, Vyapar Premium at ~₹300/month is the cheapest paid option. For full accounting (not just invoicing), Zoho Books Standard at ₹599/month is the best value. Tally Prime is cheapest long-term as a one-time purchase if you plan to use it for 3+ years.
For businesses with turnover under ₹20 lakh (GST registration threshold), Excel may work but you cannot file GST returns. Once registered, GST software pays for itself by automating return filing, e-invoicing, and avoiding compliance errors that can cost ₹10,000+ in penalties. Even free options like Vyapar are dramatically better than Excel.
For CA firms and businesses where the CA does the accounting, yes — Tally is still the dominant choice because 95%+ of Indian CAs are trained on it. For business-owner-led accounting (where the owner does it themselves), Zoho Books has a much friendlier interface and is increasingly preferred.
Yes — Vyapar Premium supports e-invoicing (IRN generation via GSTN portal). However, for high-volume businesses (1,000+ invoices/month), Zoho Books, Tally, or ClearTax handle e-invoicing more reliably and offer better error recovery.
Yes, both directions are supported. Zoho Books has a built-in Tally import that handles chart of accounts, customers, vendors, stock items, and opening balances. Going from Zoho Books to Tally is also possible via XML export. Migration typically takes 1-3 weeks including parallel-run period.
