Is there a GST billing software cheaper than Tally?
Short answer
Yes. 399Apps’ Nidhi Books is cloud GST billing software from ₹399/month for your first app, with unlimited users and no upfront license — far cheaper to start than TallyPrime’s ₹22,500 one-time Silver license (single user, plus GST and a yearly renewal). You bill, file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and run your accounts from any device.

Why it works out cheaper
Tally is sold as a perpetual desktop license: TallyPrime Silver is ₹22,500 one-time for a single user (Gold is ₹67,500 for multi-user), plus GST and an annual TSS renewal of roughly ₹4,500. That is a large upfront cost before you bill a single invoice, and it is tied to one PC.
Nidhi Books is a monthly subscription from ₹399/month for your first app (each additional app or add-on is ₹99/month), with unlimited users included and no per-seat fee. Prices exclude GST, which is added per invoice. There is no license to buy and nothing to install — you log in from any browser or phone.
For a new or small business, the cheaper path to start is monthly cloud billing: you avoid the upfront license, get more than one user at no extra cost, and can add inventory or other apps only when you need them.
