HisaabKro vs Vyapar
A Vyapar alternative with no subscription and no plan-gated features
Vyapar is billed as a subscription, and features like multi-company support are plan-dependent. HisaabKro's core workflow — sales, purchases, GRN, inventory with godowns, and GST returns — is free on every account, with multi-company included from the start. It runs in the browser rather than as a phone-first app, and it is open source if you want to self-host.
