myBillBook aur 21bill dono ₹99/mahina se start karte hain, dono Indian SMBs ke liye hain, dono claim karte hain “simple GST billing.” To sach mein us price pe kaun zyada deta hai?

Pehle se bol doon: yeh 21bill ka blog hai. Agar aap dono ko compare kar rahe ho, yeh bhi padho aur unka bhi (agar kabhi likhein). Main koshish ki hai fair rehne ki — jahaan myBillBook ka real advantage hai bataunga.

Jahaan myBillBook jeetta hai

1. Native Android app with 5M+ installs. myBillBook ka zyada tar user base phone se bill banata hai, aur unka app genuinely polished hai counter-side workflows ke liye. Aap invoice tap kar sakte hain, phone customer ko de sakte hain review ke liye, WhatsApp se share kar sakte hain, UPI payment le sakte hain — sab ek flow mein, app chhode bina. 21bill kisi bhi phone ke browser mein chalta hai (PWA install bhi kar sakte hain home screen pe), lekin native app ship hone tak myBillBook ka phone-only setup mein ergonomic advantage hai.

2. Marketing + awareness. myBillBook ne 2024-25 mein YouTube aur Facebook ads pe significant paisa kharcha. Agar aap dus Indian shopkeepers se poochein kaunsa billing app recognise karte ho, myBillBook probably top 3 mein hoga — Vyapar aur Tally ke saath. Yeh brand recognition family/employees onboard karna thoda aasaan banata hai.

3. App pe offline invoice creation. Agar aapka internet bill ke beech mein drop ho jata hai, app invoice queue karke baad mein sync kar deta hai. 21bill ka PWA partial offline support karta hai previously loaded data ke liye, but full-offline invoice creation roadmap pe hai, shipped nahi.

4. 500 invoices/saal vs hamara 50/mahina. 500/saal average ~40/mahina hai, lekin peak mahino mein (Diwali season, March financial year-end) spike karne ki freedom deta hai bina upgrade ke. Hamara 50/mahina hard monthly ceiling hai. Seasonal business ke liye yeh myBillBook ka plus hai. (Honest trade-off: humne strict monthly cap chuna kyunki scale pe reason karna easier hai; users request karein to adjust kar denge.)

Jahaan 21bill jeetta hai

1. GSTR-1 aur GSTR-3B JSON ₹99 wale plan mein. Yeh single biggest differentiator hai. myBillBook actual JSON nahi deta jo GST portal accept karta hai — unke paid plans mein bhi wo apne offline utility pe redirect karte hain, ya partners ke through extra paisa lete hain GSTR-1 filing ke liye. 21bill ₹99/mahina mein exact GSTN V4.0 JSON ek-click mein deta hai. Aap khud upload karte ho gst.gov.in pe. Full step-by-step yahaan hai. Jo business khud file karna chahta hai (ya CA ko 5 minutes ka kaam de instead of 5 hours Tally mein), wo real paisa bachata hai.

2. Purchase tracking + ITC, included. myBillBook apna Purchase/Expense add-on extra pay karwata hai — exact price publicly dikhta nahi, but base plan se upar hai. 21bill vendor bill tracking ko, CGST/SGST/IGST per bill, aur automatic ITC computation ₹99 tier mein include karta hai. Purchase tracking ke bina, aapka month-end GST number incomplete hai — aap CA ko phir bhi paise dete rehte ho data entry ke liye.

3. Proper multi-user ₹299/mahina mein. Hamara Business tier 5 users deta hai proper role-based access ke saath:

• Admin sab kuch dekhta hai (aap)
• Billing invoices + bills bana sakta hai par customer LTV ya settings change nahi
• Sales quotations + customers dekh sakta hai but financial totals touch nahi kar sakta
• Viewer read-only (CA ke liye useful month-end pe)

myBillBook ka paid Pro mein multi-user hai par role separation shallow hai. Agar aapke paas cashier + salesperson + khud ho, 21bill ka access model real SMBs ke workflow se match karta hai.

4. Audit trail. Har GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B download file ke SHA-256 hash ke saath log hota hai. Agar kabhi dispute ho — GST department se, CA se, business partner se — hum exact bytes dikha sakte hain jo aapko us date pe serve kiye the. myBillBook mein yeh feature nahi hai.

5. Clean browser-first experience. App download nahi, store review nahi, app updates jo purane phone pe brick kar dete hain wo nahi. Aap log in karte ho jo bhi device saamne ho — phone, customer ke office mein laptop, ghar pe laptop — sab waha hai. Aapka data ek device ka hostage nahi hai jo kal toot sakta hai.

6. Modern pricing bina hidden gotchas ke. myBillBook ka pricing page intentionally designed hai “Talk to sales” pe push karne ke liye starter plan ke baad kisi bhi cheez ke liye. Humare teen tiers (₹99 / ₹299 / ₹599) fully published hain, per-invoice fees nahi, per-user add-ons nahi, PDF-download credits nahi. Jo dikhta hai wohi pay karte ho.

Honest verdict

myBillBook lein agar:

• Aap 100% phone se billing karte ho aur polished native app experience chahiye.
• Seasonal ho aur invoice capacity spike karni padti hai Diwali / March ke time.
• Internet unreliable hai aur strong offline invoice creation chahiye.

21bill lein agar:

• GSTR-1 aur GSTR-3B JSON starter plan mein chahiye (paid add-on ki tarah nahi).
• Vendor bills track karte ho aur ITC ka automatic flow monthly GST mein chahiye.
• Multi-device ho — phone, laptop, CA ke office se books access karna chahte ho.
• 2-5 employees hain aur clean role-based access chahiye ₹299/mahina mein.
• Audit trail care karte ho — kya file hua, kab, kisne.
• Billing tool 2026 jaisa dikhna chahiye, 2019 ka nahi.

Jo main sugar-coat nahi kar sakta

myBillBook ke paas native app jo offline kaam karta hai. Hamare paas nahi hai, abhi. Yeh genuinely problem hai ek segment ke liye — pure counter-billing, offline-first small retailer. Agar aap wo ho aur myBillBook successfully use kar rahe ho, sirf hamara filing JSON advantage ke liye switch karne ka obvious reason nahi hai.

Lekin agar aap already laptop aur phone ke beech bounce kar rahe ho, agar aapka CA aapse ₹3,000/mahina leta hai returns file karne ke liye jab wo 5 minutes mein upload kar sakta hai, agar aap cleaner back-office chahte ho myBillBook ke app se — same ₹99 pe 21bill zyada deta hai.

Best test: 21bill ab invite-only platform hai — access ke liye request karein aur ek mahina myBillBook ke saath parallel evaluate karo. March ka GSTR-3B compare karo: humara net-payable automatically compute karta hai invoices + bills se; myBillBook aapko khud compute karwata hai unki UI mein ya unke partner tool mein. Agar humara number aapke CA ke number se match kar gaya, aap jaan lo ga kaun sa phone pe rehna chahiye.
