Pricing breakdown

BillRaja pricing:

  • Free plan — unlimited invoices, full GST billing, inventory, restaurant and membership workspaces.
  • Pro — ₹99/month (increased limits, priority support).
  • Enterprise — ₹199/month (advanced features, multi-device).
  • 3-month trial on all paid plans.

Vyapar pricing (approximate, as of June 2026):

  • Android only — free (limited).
  • Android + Windows desktop — approximately ₹1,499 / year (billed annually).
  • Multi-business or advanced plans at higher prices.

BillRaja's Pro plan at ₹99/month (₹1,188/year) is comparable to Vyapar's combined Android+Windows plan but includes restaurant and membership workspaces that Vyapar does not offer. If you only need Android billing, BillRaja's free plan outpaces Vyapar's free tier in feature breadth.

Where Vyapar wins

  • Windows desktop app — Vyapar has a well-regarded desktop billing app useful for businesses that prefer a PC counter.
  • Barcode scanning — Vyapar's barcode integration is more mature, useful for high-SKU retail operations.
  • Bank reconciliation — Vyapar can match bank statement entries to recorded transactions, helpful for accounts reconciliation.
  • Established community — a larger user base means more YouTube tutorials, CA support, and community forums.

Where BillRaja wins

  • Restaurant billing — KOT, table management and a public QR menu are built into BillRaja; Vyapar has none of these. See the restaurant workspace.
  • Membership management — gym enrolment, plan renewals, and attendance tracking are native in BillRaja. See the membership workspace.
  • Customer bill portal — customers view their bills at /customer by logging in with their phone number and OTP. Vyapar has no equivalent.
  • Price — ₹99/month Pro vs Vyapar's ₹1,499/year (~₹125/mo); BillRaja is cheaper on a monthly basis and offers a longer 3-month trial.
  • Web app — BillRaja works in a web browser in addition to Android and iOS; Vyapar's web support is limited.

Choose Vyapar if…

  • You run a retail or trading business from a Windows desktop PC.
  • You need mature barcode scanning for a high-SKU catalogue.
  • You want bank reconciliation or basic P&L from the billing app.
  • Your accountant or CA is already familiar with Vyapar exports.

Choose BillRaja if…

  • You run a restaurant, dhaba, or café and need KOT and table management.
  • You manage a gym, yoga studio, coaching centre, or club with membership plans.
  • You want a single app for multiple business types (e.g. a bakery with a seating area, or a sports club that sells merchandise).
  • You want a customer bill portal where your clients can review their own invoice history.
  • You prefer monthly billing at ₹99 over an annual commitment.
  • You work primarily from Android or the web (not a Windows desktop).

Verdict

For a straightforward retail or trading business billed from a Windows PC, Vyapar's desktop app is a strong, well-tested choice. For any business that touches restaurant service, memberships, or needs a public customer portal — or for a business that wants the most capable free plan — BillRaja is the better starting point in 2026.

Try both on Android (both have free plans) before committing. If you decide BillRaja is the right fit, read about the retail workspace, restaurant workspace, and membership workspace, or see the full pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Is BillRaja better than Vyapar?
It depends on your business type. BillRaja is better if you need restaurant billing (KOT, QR menu), membership management (gyms, clubs), or a customer bill portal — and prefer a lower monthly price. Vyapar is better if you need a Windows desktop app, a well-established ecosystem, or mature barcode scanning.
Is BillRaja free to use?
Yes. BillRaja has a free plan that includes GST invoicing, inventory, purchase orders, and the customer bill portal. Pro costs ₹99/month and Enterprise ₹199/month. A 3-month trial is available.
Does Vyapar have a free plan?
Vyapar has a free Android plan with basic GST billing. The Windows desktop app and advanced features require a paid subscription, which starts at approximately ₹1,499/year for Android+Windows combined.
Can I use BillRaja for a restaurant as well as a retail shop?
Yes. BillRaja includes three workspaces — retail (GST billing, stock, purchase orders), restaurant (KOT, table management, QR menu), and membership (gym plans, renewals, attendance) — all within a single app and subscription. Vyapar does not include restaurant or membership modules.
Which is more suitable for an accountant or CA — BillRaja or Vyapar?
Vyapar has a more established presence among accountants and CAs, with a wider user base and more years of development. Both apps produce GSTR-3B-ready reports. For CA-grade accounting (P&L, balance sheet, bank reconciliation), Tally Prime remains the industry standard; both BillRaja and Vyapar are billing-first tools rather than full accounting suites.
