Just talk to your billing — something Swipe can't do
Swipe is a tap-through-screens app. With KhataBuddy you simply type or speak what you want — in the app, on the web, or right inside WhatsApp — and the AI does it. Create bills, chase payments and pull GST reports without learning any software.
- Create & share invoices over WhatsApp
- Type or send a voice note — the AI handles the rest
- Ask for any report in plain English or Hindi

Why businesses pick KhataBuddy over Swipe
The same GST billing, invoicing and inventory you expect — plus an AI that does the work for you.
Bill by chatting with AI
Create invoices, record payments and pull GST reports just by typing or speaking to the built-in AI — no menus, no data-entry forms to hunt through.
Runs inside WhatsApp
Operate your whole business from the same WhatsApp chat your customers already use — not just share a PDF after the bill is made.
Works from ChatGPT & Claude
KhataBuddy connects to ChatGPT and Claude via MCP, so you can run billing right from the AI assistant you already use every day.
Simple, affordable pricing
Plans from ₹1,599/year with no steep learning curve — built for Indian small business owners, not just accountants.
Where Swipe is a good fit
No tool is right for everyone — Swipe may suit you better if:
- You want a free plan to start with very basic billing.
- You rely on Swipe’s invoice templates or its Tally / Shopify integrations.
- You need Swipe’s online store features specifically.
