Comparison

StockMitra vs myBillBook: which is right for your shop?

myBillBook is a widely used billing and invoicing app for Indian small businesses, built around GST compliance and low-cost plans. StockMitra covers billing too, but adds a dedicated customer khata and an inventory workflow designed around photographing stock and supplier bills instead of typing them. Here's how they actually compare.

How they actually compare

GST billing

Both apps do this well — myBillBook is built around GST billing and invoicing first, with a genuinely low-cost free tier. StockMitra also includes GST-ready billing with PDF invoices on its free plan, so on billing alone the two are closer than anywhere else in this comparison.

Khata and udhaar tracking

The biggest gap. myBillBook's own positioning is as a billing-software alternative, not a khata app — no dedicated customer khata or udhaar experience with reminders. StockMitra builds a full khata into the same app as billing: record a credit sale, send a WhatsApp reminder, watch the running balance update as the customer pays it down. If most of your daily friction is chasing udhaar rather than printing bills, that difference is the whole decision.

Stock and supplier bills

StockMitra's camera-based stock-in, purchase-bill OCR and bulk QR label printing aren't part of myBillBook's feature set. myBillBook does offer barcode scanning in a more limited form, useful if your stock already carries manufacturer barcodes — but it doesn't extend to reading a supplier's paper bill or printing your own labels for unbarcoded stock.

Offline use and language

StockMitra runs fully offline and syncs the moment connectivity returns. myBillBook's offline support is more limited for some features, so test your specific workflow if that's a daily concern. Both support multiple Indian languages; StockMitra currently covers six — Hindi, English, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati and Marathi.

Pricing

myBillBook has a free tier with paid plans from roughly ₹399 a year — hard to beat on raw price if billing is genuinely all you need. StockMitra's free plan covers up to 50 items and 150 bills a month with billing, khata and inventory together; past that, paid plans start at ₹249 a month, with three months free on annual billing.

Choose myBillBook if

  • Low-cost GST billing is the main job, and your inventory needs are simple enough to type in by hand.
  • You don't need a dedicated khata/udhaar workflow with reminders.
  • Barcode scanning on manufacturer-labeled stock covers what you need.

Choose StockMitra if

  • You extend regular credit to customers and want a proper khata with reminders, not a workaround.
  • You receive physical stock often and want to scan instead of type — stock-in, supplier bills, your own QR labels.
  • You want billing, khata and inventory to stay linked in one free plan rather than paying to add each piece separately.

Bottom line

myBillBook is hard to beat on price if billing is the whole job. StockMitra earns the switch once customer credit or physical stock handling becomes a real part of your day.
