The short answer

myBillBook suits Indian retailers and wholesalers who want simple GST billing synced across phone, web and PC. TallyPrime suits SMEs that need full accounting, inventory, payroll and compliance on Windows, usually with a Tally-trained accountant. The biggest difference: myBillBook is a multi-device billing app, while TallyPrime is a full desktop accounting package.

myBillBook or TallyPrime: our take

myBillBook, from FloBiz, focuses on billing. It creates GST and non-GST invoices with HSN codes, tracks stock and godowns, records payments and dues, and produces GSTR-1, GSTR-2 and GSTR-3B reports. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, with a desktop app on the Pro plan and above, and every plan includes access for an accountant. TallyPrime is a broader accounting package covering accounting, inventory, invoicing, banking, payroll and statutory compliance including GST returns, e-invoicing and e-way bills. It is a Windows desktop application at heart, fast from the keyboard once learned but with a dated look; cloud access, remote reports and WhatsApp sharing are paid add-ons.

The two often work together rather than against each other: myBillBook can export data to Tally, so a shop can bill on phones while its accountant keeps the books in TallyPrime. myBillBook is sold as a subscription starting at ₹3,490/year for the Plus plan billed annually, with a free trial for new mobile users and a 7-day money-back guarantee, but no permanent free plan. E-invoicing and POS billing are only on its top tier. TallyPrime comes in Silver (single user) and Gold (multi-user) editions, either as a lifetime licence with a yearly subscription for updates or as a rental starting from ₹750.

Choose myBillBook if your main need is quick GST invoicing and stock tracking from several devices, and your books are not complex. Choose TallyPrime if you need complete double-entry accounting, payroll and compliance in one package, prefer a lifetime licence option, or rely on an accountant who already knows Tally. Businesses that want both mobile billing and Tally-based books can use myBillBook's Tally export.

What is myBillBook?

myBillBook, made by FloBiz, is a billing and inventory app for small and medium businesses in India. It creates GST and non-GST invoices with HSN codes and automatic tax, tracks stock and godowns, records payments and outstanding dues, and generates GSTR-1, GSTR-2 and GSTR-3B reports that can be shared with an accountant or exported to Tally. Higher plans add e-invoicing, unlimited e-way bills, POS billing, recurring invoices, loyalty points and SMS or WhatsApp marketing. Data syncs across Android, iOS and the web, with a desktop app on the Pro plan and above, and each plan includes access for an accountant. It is sold on monthly or yearly subscriptions in rupees with discounts for longer terms, a free trial for new mobile users and a seven-day money-back guarantee. It suits retailers, wholesalers and service businesses that want straightforward GST billing on several devices; it isn't meant to replace full accounting software for complex books.

What is TallyPrime?

TallyPrime, from Tally Solutions, is the current version of the accounting package that most small and mid-sized businesses in India and many in the Middle East and Africa have grown up with. It handles accounting, inventory, invoicing, banking, payroll and statutory compliance such as GST returns, e-invoicing and e-way bills, and it is fast to use from the keyboard once learned. It is a Windows desktop application at heart, with paid add-ons for cloud access, remote reports and WhatsApp sharing. Licences come as Silver for a single user or Gold for multi-user setups, either as a lifetime licence with a yearly software services subscription for updates, or as a rental. A free trial and an educational mode are available. The huge pool of Tally-trained accountants is its biggest strength; the main drawbacks are a desktop-first design, a dated look, and weaker fit outside its core markets.
