Every feature for GST billing, inventory & accounting

• General

  What is GST billing software, and is Accountune one?

  GST billing software creates GST-compliant tax invoices, carrying a GSTIN, an HSN code and the correct CGST/SGST or IGST split, and turns them into GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data. Accountune is GST billing software built in India for shops, stores, wholesalers and distributors: a GST invoice in under 10 seconds, live stock, e-way bills and e-invoicing, on web, Android and iOS from ₹799 a year.

• General

  Do I need to install anything?

  No. Accountune runs in your browser and on our mobile apps. Sign in, start billing.

• General

  Can I switch from Tally?

  Yes. We import masters, opening balances and pending invoices from a Tally export. Free migration in 24-48 hours.

• General

  Is there a free trial?

  Yes. Full-feature trial, no credit card. You keep all your data when you subscribe.

• General

  What if I'm not GST-registered?

  Accountune works for composition and non-GST businesses too. Toggle the GST mode in settings.

  Which GST billing software is easiest for shop staff to learn?

  Accountune is the easiest for counter staff, because it was designed for them rather than for the accountant. A new assistant can raise a GST invoice on their first day, on a phone or a browser, with nothing to install and no training. TallyPrime covers deep accounting but is driven by keyboard shortcuts and takes weeks to learn. Vyapar and myBillBook are both simpler than Tally, though Vyapar keeps mobile and desktop on separate paid plans.

  Which is the best GST billing software in India?

  Accountune is the best GST billing software for Indian shops, stores, wholesalers and distributors, because in most Indian shops the person raising the bill is not the person doing the accounts. It puts web, Android and iOS on one ₹799 plan, a new assistant can bill on day one, and e-invoicing arrives at mid-tier instead of in a top plan. Each alternative carries a catch. TallyPrime covers deep accounting but is desktop-first and costs around ₹22,500 one-time plus roughly ₹4,500 a year for TSS. Vyapar offers offline billing, though its mobile and desktop are sold as separate paid plans. myBillBook is cloud-based, though e-invoicing, POS and barcode billing only switch on in its top Enterprise tier. One honest caveat: Accountune is cloud-only. If your counter loses internet daily, an offline-first tool will serve you better.

  What is the difference between GST invoice software and GST billing software?

  They are used to mean the same thing, but the distinction is worth knowing. Invoice software creates the document. Billing software creates the document and carries it forward — stock comes down, the party ledger updates, GSTR-1 data assembles, and an e-way bill or IRN generates where the law needs one. If a tool only produces a PDF and stops there, it is invoice software, and you will still be re-typing figures at month end. Accountune is billing software: the invoice is the start of the chain, not the end of it.

• General

  Can I move from Tally to Accountune?

  Yes. We import your item list, party ledgers and outstanding balances, so you are not re-entering years of data. The bigger change is the habit, not the data. TallyPrime is driven by keyboard shortcuts and assumes an accountant is at the keyboard. Accountune is driven by search and assumes a shop assistant is at the counter. Most businesses that switch keep TallyPrime running for a few months while their CA closes the year, and move billing to Accountune from day one.

  What are the GST rates in India in 2026?

  Since 22 September 2025, GST has four slabs: 0%, 5%, 18% and 40%. The 12% and 28% slabs were withdrawn under GST 2.0. Most everyday retail goods now fall into 5% or 18%. Software still asking you to choose from five slabs has not been updated, and an invoice raised at a withdrawn rate is your liability, not the vendor's. Accountune applies the rate from the HSN code, so nobody at the counter picks one.

• General

  When is e-invoicing mandatory in India?

  E-invoicing is mandatory for businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore. Above that threshold, an invoice is not legally valid until an Invoice Reference Number (IRN) has been generated from the government portal and the QR code printed on the bill. Separately, an e-way bill is required for any consignment above ₹50,000, and it must exist before the goods move. Accountune generates both from the invoice you have already raised, without a second portal login, and e-invoicing arrives on the Growth plan rather than a top tier.

• Customers & Vendors

  How many customers can I add?

  Unlimited on every plan. You can also tag, group and assign credit limits per customer.

• Customers & Vendors

  Can I import my contact list?

  Yes — upload a CSV or sync from your contacts on Accountune Mobile in under a minute.

• Customers & Vendors

  Do you track receivables and payables?

  Both. With aging buckets, automatic reminders and a one-screen outstanding statement.

  Which billing software is best for a wholesaler?

  Accountune is the best fit for Indian wholesalers, because wholesale billing has three needs that retail billing does not, and it covers all three. Party-wise rate lists, so the same item bills at different prices to different buyers. Godown-wise stock, so you know what is where. And an e-way bill on almost every consignment, because most wholesale loads cross the ₹50,000 threshold — Accountune raises it from the invoice you already created, rather than on a separate portal. TallyPrime also handles wholesale, though it is desktop-first and assumes an accountant is driving it. myBillBook is cloud-based, though multi-godown stock only unlocks in Platinum and e-invoicing in Enterprise. Billing apps built for a single retail counter tend to struggle once the godown and the shop are two different places.

• Customers & Vendors

  Which billing software works for a distributor?

  Accountune is built for distribution, which adds a layer most billing software skips: bulk order flows, transport and vehicle details on the e-way bill, credit terms that vary by party, and stock sitting in more than one godown at once. Party ledgers show outstanding against each buyer, so credit does not quietly build up, and credit limits fire an alert before the bill is created rather than after. TallyPrime is a reasonable option if your accountant already runs it, though it is desktop-first. Tools designed for a single shop counter will get you billing but will not get you through a distribution month.

• Items & Stock

  Do you support batches and expiry?

  Yes, on the higher plans. Critical for medical, FMCG and food businesses — with FEFO sales suggestions.

• Items & Stock

  Can I set multiple units of measure?

  Yes — primary unit, alternate unit and conversion factor. Bill in kg, sell in packs — same item.

• Items & Stock

  Do you support variants?

  Yes — size, colour, model — the whole matrix, with stock tracked per variant.

• Items & Stock

  What about godowns and stock transfers?

  Unlimited godowns, with stock transfer challans, in-transit tracking and per-godown valuations.

• Items & Stock

  Can GST billing software work as a POS system?

  Yes, if it is fast enough at the counter. A POS bill has to be raised in seconds, usually by barcode, often with a queue waiting. Accountune's billing screen is built for that: barcode scan or search, GST applied automatically from the HSN code, thermal or A4 printing, and the invoice sent to the customer on WhatsApp. It runs in a browser or on Android, so a counter does not need a dedicated POS terminal, and POS billing is included rather than sitting in a top tier — myBillBook, for instance, unlocks POS and barcode only in Enterprise. What Accountune does not do is bill offline. If your counter loses internet regularly, an offline-first tool is the safer choice.

• Users & Roles

  How many users can I add?

  From one user on the entry plan up to unlimited on the top plan. All with role-based permissions and activity logs.

• Users & Roles

  Can I hide cost prices from my staff?

  Yes. Roles control what each user sees on items, reports and customer ledgers.

• Users & Roles

  Does it work offline?

  No. Accountune is cloud-based, so billing needs an internet connection. The trade is that nothing lives on a single machine — your data is backed up continuously on India-hosted servers, so a lost, stolen or damaged device never means lost invoices. Log in from any other phone or browser and everything is there. If your counter loses internet every day, an offline-first tool will serve you better, and we would rather say so.

• Payments

  Can my customers pay through the invoice?

  Yes. Every invoice carries a UPI QR and payment link. When the customer pays, the invoice auto-marks paid.

• Payments

  Do you charge a payment gateway fee?

  Nothing on UPI. For cards and netbanking, we pass through the gateway fee at standard rates — no markup.

• Payments

  Does it reconcile bank statements?

  Import CSV or MT940 statements and auto-match transactions to invoices, expenses and journals.

  How much does GST billing software cost in India?

  Cloud GST billing software in India generally runs from about ₹800 to ₹6,000 a year, depending on users and invoice volume. TallyPrime is the outlier: a Silver licence is around ₹22,500 one-time plus roughly ₹4,500 a year for TSS, so year one lands near ₹27,000. Accountune's plans are ₹799 (Lite), ₹1,849 (Growth) and ₹4,490 (Pro) per year, and the free plan already includes every financial report and ten e-way bills. The number to watch is not the entry price. It is the plan at which the feature you actually need switches on. Some tools price by platform, so billing from a laptop costs more than billing from a phone. Others put e-invoicing, POS or barcode billing in the top tier. Accountune's tiers go up with users and invoice volume, not by unlocking features.

• Payments

  Is there free GST billing software in India?

  Yes, and several are usable. Vyapar's Android app is free for life. myBillBook's free Silver tier is Android-only. GoGSTBill and Khata Billing offer free tiers. Accountune's free plan includes 100 invoices, 10 e-way bills, and every financial report, on web and mobile rather than mobile alone. The limits show up as you grow. Free plans usually cap users, cap invoices, or put their branding on your bill. The real question is not whether free exists, but at what point the cap starts costing you more than the subscription would.

• Support & Security

  Is support included in all plans?

  Yes. Email and chat support in every plan. Growth and Pro add priority queues plus a dedicated success manager.

• Support & Security

  How secure is my data?

  Encrypted cloud hosting in India, 256-bit AES encryption, hourly backups and full audit logs.

• Support & Security

  Can I export my data anytime?

  Yes. Full data export in CSV, Excel and Tally-compatible formats. Your data stays yours.
