- Create & share invoices over WhatsApp

Why businesses pick KhataBuddy over Vyapar
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 Vyapar is a good fit
No tool is right for everyone — Vyapar may suit you better if:
- You need full offline desktop billing that works without any internet connection.
- You prefer a long-established Windows desktop app with a very large existing user base.
- Your workflow is built around Vyapar’s offline data files rather than the cloud.
