Khatabook and OkCredit alternative

Outgrowing your khata app?

Khatabook and OkCredit are credit-ledger apps, and for keeping track of who owes what, many shops need nothing more. BillCountr is a billing app that keeps the same khata — with the difference that the credit comes from the bills themselves.

What you need to know

What moving from a khata app would change.

01 · The khata

Udhaar that comes from the bill

A ledger records the amount you enter. BillCountr records the sale: when a bill goes on credit, that bill is the udhaar, with its date and its items. So when a customer asks why they owe four thousand rupees, the answer is a list of bills rather than your memory against theirs. And when they pay, the money settles the bills it clears.

  • Nothing to write twice
  • Every balance traces to dated bills
  • Part cash and part udhaar on one bill
  • Payments allocated to the bills they clear

02 · More

The khata is one screen of the shop

The reason to move is that one act, selling something, also has to take stock down, produce a GST bill, and end up in the day's sales. Doing all of that in one app means doing it once. If all you need is who owes what, a ledger app is lighter, and you should stay with it.

  • GST bills with HSN codes and numbers in sequence
  • Stock that moves from the bill
  • Suppliers and purchases on the other sidePro
  • Stock and tax reports alongside sales and duesPro

03 · Reminders

We do not message your customers

BillCountr never messages your customers on its own. You get told which customers have reached the date you agreed with them, and you decide who to call and how. A message that chases someone's uncle on the wrong day costs a shop a relationship it cannot get back, and that decision should stay with you.

  • A payment-by date per customer, set by you
  • Nothing said about them before that date
  • Overdue customers grouped, oldest first
  • You choose who to contact

Common questions

Questions about moving from a khata app.

Is BillCountr a khata app?

It contains one, but it is a billing app first. If you only want to record who owes what and never make a bill, a dedicated ledger app is lighter and you will be happier with it.

Can I carry over what customers already owe me?

Yes. Record an opening balance against each customer when you set them up, and that carries over what they owed. From then on, new credit comes from bills.

Will it send payment reminders to my customers?

Not on its own, and it will not start. You are told who has reached the date you agreed, and you contact them yourself.

Is BillCountr connected to Khatabook or OkCredit?

No. BillCountr is an independent product with no relationship to either. We name them here only because people looking for an alternative search for them by name.

Do I need GST registration to use it?

No. Tax can stay off, and bills print with no tax lines. You can turn it on later without changing bills you have already made.
