myBillBook Alternative for Kirana Shops
If you are looking for a myBillBook alternative, the real question is how far you want to go. Billing-focused apps do one job well — they make a clean GST bill. e-Kirana does that too, and then gives your kirana shop its own branded online store, home delivery with live order tracking, all in one paid Windows app. So your customers do not just get a receipt — they get a shop they can order from.
Billing-only app vs e-Kirana — at a glance
Most digital-khata and billing apps (like myBillBook and similar tools) are built around invoicing and ledgers. e-Kirana starts there and adds the things a kirana shop needs to actually sell more. Here is how the capabilities compare:
| Capability | Typical billing-only app | e-Kirana |
|---|---|---|
| Billing & POS | Yes | Yes |
| GST invoicing with HSN codes | Usually | Yes |
| Inventory (bulk import by barcode) | Varies | Yes |
| Your own branded online store | Not the focus | Yes — your own subdomain |
| Customer mobile app + offline PWA | Not the focus | Yes |
| Home delivery with live GPS tracking | Not the focus | Yes — batching & route optimisation |
| Automatic UPI payment verification | Varies | Yes |
| Works offline, then syncs to cloud | Varies | Yes |
| Indian languages | Some | 22 Indian languages |
Billing-only apps differ in their exact features and plans — check each vendor for current details. The column above describes that category in general terms, not any one product.
Why e-Kirana, beyond just billing
The biggest difference is simple: e-Kirana gives your shop its own online store and home delivery — not just a bill or a ledger.A billing app helps you record a sale that already happened. e-Kirana helps you make new sales. Your customers open your branded "online dukaan" on its own web address, browse your real stock, place an order on the app or on the offline-capable PWA, and pay by UPI — which e-Kirana verifies automatically.
When an order comes in, e-Kirana handles the delivery side too: it batches nearby orders, optimises the route, hands them to your delivery person through a dedicated delivery-partner app, and shows the customer live GPS tracking until the bag reaches the door. Behind the counter you still get the everyday essentials — fast billing and POS, GST invoicing with HSN codes, and inventory you can bulk-import by barcode. It runs offline and syncs to the cloud when you are back online, so a patchy connection never stops a sale.
Honest pricing — premium, no ads
e-Kirana is paid software, billed once a year. Standard is ₹2,999/year and Business is ₹4,999/year, both plus 18% GST. There is no free trial and no ad-supported free tier — you pay upfront and, in return, you own your store and your data, there are no ads, and you are not the product. For a shop that wants its own online store and delivery, that is a working sales channel, not just a billing subscription.
