Choosing how to bill

Most small businesses in India start with a notebook or Excel, then move to a billing app, and many keep Tally with their accountant. These pages compare the options plainly — what each is good at, and when it's time to switch.

• Billing software vs Excel (or a notebook) — Excel is free and flexible but doesn't number GST invoices, track stock or file GSTR-1. When a small business should move from Excel to billing software.
• A billing app and Tally: which, or both? — TallyPrime is full accounting for your CA; a billing app is fast billing, stock and WhatsApp for your counter. How HextaBook works alongside Tally with exports.
• Free GST billing software: what to look for — What a free GST billing plan should give you, the limits to check, and when a paid plan pays for itself — with HextaBook's Free plan as an example.
