Can I import my existing Tally data into HisaabKro?

Not yet — there is no automated Tally import tool today. You set up your company fresh (GSTIN, state, financial year) and enter opening balances for parties and stock.

Does HisaabKro work offline like Tally?

No. HisaabKro is a browser-based, always-online workspace. If you self-host it, it runs on your own infrastructure, but it is still a web app, not an offline desktop program.

HisaabKro vs Tally

A Tally alternative that runs in the browser, not just on the counter PC

Tally is a Windows desktop application with a paid, renewable license and no published source code. HisaabKro is the opposite on every one of those points: it runs in any browser, ships as MIT-licensed open source, and can be self-hosted on Cloudflare Workers and Neon if you would rather not use the hosted version. Sales, purchases, inventory, party ledgers, and GST returns work the same way either way.
