A bigger alternative to OkCredit & Khatabook for your shop
Digital khata apps like OkCredit and Khatabook are great for one job: tracking udhaar (credit) so you remember who owes you money. e-Kirana is the step up — it keeps your accounts and runs the whole shop: GST billing, inventory, your own branded online store, and home delivery.
If you have outgrown a simple ledger and want one tool that bills customers, manages stock and puts your shop online, e-Kirana is built for exactly that.
Digital khata apps vs e-Kirana
Most digital khata apps focus on the ledger — recording credit, sending payment reminders and keeping a running balance. That is genuinely useful. e-Kirana includes that kind of customer-account tracking too, and then adds the parts a growing kirana shop needs next.
| What you need | Digital khata apps | e-Kirana |
|---|---|---|
| Track udhaar / customer credit | Yes — their core strength | Yes |
| Billing & POS at the counter | Usually ledger-only | Yes |
| GST invoices with HSN codes | Limited or none | Yes |
| Inventory (bulk barcode import) | Not the focus | Yes |
| Your own branded online store | No | Yes — your own subdomain |
| Home delivery with live GPS tracking | No | Yes |
| UPI payment auto-verification | No | Yes |
Why e-Kirana, beyond the ledger
The biggest difference is what happens after the sale. A khata app helps you remember a debt. e-Kirana gives your shop its own online store(your "online dukaan" on its own subdomain) and a full home-delivery system — so customers can order from home and you can deliver, not just record what they bought on credit.
Delivery comes with order batching, route optimisation, a dedicated delivery-partner app and live GPS order tracking, so both you and your customer can see where an order is. Customers reach you through a mobile app and an offline PWA — whatever is easiest for them.
At the counter you get proper billing and POS, GST invoicing with HSN codes, and inventory you can bulk-import by barcode. Payments are easier too: automatic UPI payment verification confirms money has landed without you squinting at a phone. It all works offline and syncs to the cloud when you are back online, and the interface speaks 22 Indian languages.
Honest pricing
e-Kirana is premium, paid software — no ads, and you own your store and your data. The Standard plan is ₹2,999/year and the Business plan is ₹4,999/year, both plus 18% GST, billed annually. There is no free trial — you pay upfront, and in return you get a complete shop-management system instead of a single-purpose ledger.
Frequently asked questions
Is e-Kirana just another digital khata app?
No. It tracks customer accounts and credit like a khata app, but it is really a full shop-management system: billing and POS, GST invoicing, inventory, your own online store and home delivery — all in one place.
Can I move on from OkCredit or Khatabook to e-Kirana?
Yes. Shops that have outgrown a simple ledger usually want billing, stock control and a way to sell online. e-Kirana covers all three, so you can run the whole shop from one tool instead of stitching several apps together.
Do customers really get their own store?
Yes — each shop gets its own branded online store on its own subdomain, plus a customer mobile app and an offline PWA. Orders can be delivered to the customer's home with live GPS tracking.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. e-Kirana captures orders and billing offline and syncs to the cloud once you are back online, so a patchy connection never stops you from serving customers.
Is there a free version?
No — e-Kirana is paid upfront at ₹2,999 or ₹4,999 per year plus 18% GST. There are no ads, and you own your store and your data.
