Is HisaabKro free GST billing software?

Yes. HisaabKro is free to use and open source under the MIT licence. There is no licence fee and no credit card needed to sign up. You can also self-host it.

Does it make GST invoices and GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?

Yes. Sales invoices split CGST, SGST and IGST by place of supply, and the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries, GSTR-2B reconciliation and HSN summary come from the same books.

Can I use it if my business has no GSTIN?

Yes. Businesses without a GSTIN bill without GST, and invoices print as a Bill of Supply instead of a Tax Invoice.

Where is my data stored?

On the hosted service, business data lives in PostgreSQL (Neon). We do not sell user data, and you can download a company backup at any time. See the privacy policy for details.

Can my accountant or staff use it too?

Yes. Run several companies under one account and invite people with roles such as accountant, billing, inventory or read-only.

Do I still need a CA?

For filing strategy, notices and advice, yes. HisaabKro keeps invoices, books and GST reports organised so your CA works from clean data.

Built to be trusted with your books

Accounting software has one job above all: the numbers must be right.

Books that always balance

Every invoice, bill and payment posts both sides of the entry in one database transaction. It saves completely or not at all.

Who did what, and when

An audit log records changes, and roles (owner, admin, accountant, billing, inventory, read-only) limit who can post or see reports.

Your data stays yours

Download a full company backup from Settings at any time, and request account deletion whenever you want.

Code you can inspect

The whole app is open source, so how GST, stock value and ledgers are calculated is visible to anyone.
