The short answer

Swipe and Vyapar both make GST invoices, e-way bills and stock tracking easy for small Indian businesses. Swipe runs on the web and phone, prints to thermal printers and syncs with Tally. Vyapar works offline-first, has a Windows desktop app, and supports 9+ Indian languages. Pick Swipe for browser access and Tally sync; pick Vyapar for counter billing that must keep working when the internet drops.

Swipe or Vyapar: our take

The two apps cover much the same ground. Both create GST-compliant invoices and estimates, generate e-invoices and e-way bills, track stock, record payments and send bills and reminders over WhatsApp. Neither is a full double-entry accounting system; both are built for quick billing by shops, traders and distributors, and both are of little use outside Indian GST.

Swipe leans on the web and the phone. It shares invoices by WhatsApp, email or SMS, prints on A4 or on 2-inch and 3-inch thermal printers, exports GSTR JSON, and syncs with Tally so an accountant can take over the books. It supports several users and businesses on one account. Basic invoicing is free, with paid plans for the advanced GST and inventory features, though its pricing page is hard to compare at a glance.

Vyapar leans on offline use and the desktop. Billing keeps going when the connection drops and syncs between the mobile and Windows apps through cloud backup. Its interface comes in 9+ Indian languages and it records cash, UPI and card payments with barcode-based stock. Mobile has a lifetime free plan with limited access; paid plans start at ₹699 a year (Silver, mobile), with Gold at ₹799 a year on mobile, Silver desktop at ₹3,799 a year and Platinum at ₹9,999 a year. The Windows app needs a paid licence after a 7-day trial, and there is no macOS app.

A business that works from a browser, wants thermal receipts and hands its books to a Tally-using accountant will find Swipe a natural fit. A shop with patchy internet, staff more comfortable in a regional language, or a Windows PC at the counter is better served by Vyapar.

What is Swipe?

Swipe is an invoicing and billing app built mainly for small and medium businesses in India. It creates GST-compliant invoices, quotations, purchase orders and estimates in a few seconds and shares them over WhatsApp, email or SMS, with automatic reminders for unpaid bills. Beyond invoicing it tracks stock in and out, records payments and expenses, and produces sales, purchase, ledger and profit-and-loss reports. India-specific features include e-way bills, e-invoices, GSTR JSON exports and a sync with Tally, and bills can be printed on A4 or on 2- and 3-inch thermal printers for counter billing. It runs as a mobile app and in the browser, and supports several users and businesses on one account. Basic invoicing can be started free, with paid plans unlocking the advanced GST and inventory features. It suits shops, distributors and freelancers who want quick billing rather than a full accounting package.

What is Vyapar?

Vyapar is a billing and accounting app made for Indian small businesses such as shops, distributors and small manufacturers. Owners use it to create GST-compliant invoices, estimates and delivery challans, generate e-invoices and e-way bills, track stock with barcodes, record payments by cash, UPI or card, and send bills and payment reminders over WhatsApp. It also produces GST reports, profit-per-bill figures and basic books for the accountant. Vyapar works offline-first, so billing keeps going when the internet drops, and syncs data between the mobile and desktop apps through its cloud backup. The interface supports several Indian languages. On Android and iOS there is a lifetime free plan with basic features; the Windows desktop app starts with a seven-day trial and premium features need a paid licence. It suits retailers and traders who want quick billing at the counter rather than a full double-entry accounting package like TallyPrime.
