StockMitra vs Khatabook: which is right for your shop?
Khatabook is one of India's best-known free digital khata apps, focused on credit/debit ledger tracking. StockMitra also offers a full free khata, but built into the same app as GST billing and inventory — so credit sales, bills and stock stay in sync without switching apps. Here's an honest comparison.
△ = partial or indirect support. Khatabook features as publicly listed, July 2026 — exact premium pricing not independently confirmed, so no figure is quoted for it. StockMitra pricing is the current launch offer.
Choose Khatabook if
All you need is a free digital ledger for customer credit, you already bill customers a different way, and built-in UPI/QR collection matters more than billing or stock features.
Choose StockMitra if
You want khata, GST billing and stock tracking in one free app instead of separate tools, or you handle physical inventory and want to scan stock and supplier bills instead of typing them.
Is Khatabook or StockMitra better for tracking udhaar?
Khatabook is a well-known, free, khata-only ledger app — a strong choice if all you need is customer credit tracking. StockMitra also offers a full free khata, but keeps it in the same app as GST billing and inventory, so a credit sale, the bill and the udhaar entry stay linked automatically.
Does Khatabook do GST billing and inventory?
Khatabook's core free app is a digital ledger; billing, delivery challan and inventory-style features sit in its paid plans as add-ons. StockMitra includes GST billing, inventory and khata together on its free plan from day one.
Does StockMitra have camera-based stock features like Khatabook?
StockMitra has camera-based stock-in, purchase-bill OCR and bulk QR label printing. These are not core Khatabook features, since Khatabook's product is built around the khata/ledger use case rather than physical stock management.
Is StockMitra available in Hindi like Khatabook?
Yes. StockMitra is available in 6 Indian languages — Hindi, English, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati and Marathi.
