HisaabKro vs Marg
A Marg ERP alternative that runs in the browser, not on one counter PC
Marg ERP is a Windows desktop install sold as a paid license in several editions. HisaabKro has no license fee and nothing to install: open it in any browser, invite your accountant with a role, and keep sales, purchases, godown stock, and GST reports on one double-entry ledger. The source is published under MIT if you would rather self-host it.
