Khata vs Khatabook
You keep customer credit in Khatabook and are wondering whether to move the rest of your books into the same place.
What Khatabook is
Khatabook started as a digital replacement for the paper udhaar bahi and grew into broader billing and business tools. It is focused on the Indian market.
Their pricing and feature list change over time, so we do not reproduce them here — check the source directly:
Khatabook's own siteWhat you get with Khata
Every point below is something you can verify in the app on the day you install it.
Free, with nothing held back
One business plan with every feature in it, at no cost. No trial that expires, no card required, and no checkout anywhere in the product.
India and Nepal, not India alone
GST formats for India, VAT for Nepal, billing in INR or NPR, and filing-deadline tracking for Nepali VAT and advance income tax.
Billing that survives a dead signal
Bills are written to the device first and queued. When the connection returns they sync automatically, with duplicate protection so a retry cannot double-count a sale.
Phone, tablet and web — no desktop licence
Android, iOS and the web dashboard all use the same account and the same data. Nothing is tied to one machine.
Staff logins with real permissions
Give each staff member their own login and control what they can see. A cashier can bill without seeing your profit margins.
English, हिन्दी and नेपाली
The app ships in all three, so staff who are not comfortable in English can still run the counter.
When Khatabook is the better choice
Khata is not right for everyone. Some honest reasons to stay where you are:
- You only need a credit ledger and nothing else
- Your customers already recognise Khatabook's payment reminders
- You use their lending or financial-services features
