myBillBook alternative

Thinking of moving from myBillBook?

myBillBook is a widely used billing app. If your shop uses only part of what a billing app offers and the rest gets in the way, or your connection drops in the evening rush, this page explains how BillCountr is different, and what it deliberately leaves out.

What you need to know

What moving from myBillBook would change.

01 · Smaller

A short list, chosen rather than unfinished

BillCountr does five things: bills, stock, customer credit, reports and, on paid plans, staff access. It has no payroll or attendance, no CRM, no loyalty programme and no marketing campaigns. That is a decision, not a gap on a roadmap: every feature added to an app used by someone new to smartphones is one more thing between them and the next bill, and we would rather a new counter hand could learn it in an afternoon.

  • Bill, stock, udhaar and reports — that is the list
  • Shopkeeper words: bill, stock, udhaar, due, party
  • No payroll, CRM, loyalty or campaigns
  • Settings that hide what your shop does not use

02 · Offline

Built for the evening the tower is busy

The shop's data lives on the phone first and the server holds a copy. So at seven in the evening in a crowded market, when the network is slowest, the bill is already printed. Invoice numbers are assigned on the phone as well, so they stay in sequence without a connection and the server never renumbers them.

  • Every bill written to the phone before it is sent
  • Consecutive invoice numbers with no signal
  • Stock, khata and printing all work offline
  • Sync happens by itself when the signal returns

03 · History

A finalized bill cannot be changed by anyone

A bill keeps the settings it was calculated with, so changing your tax setup tomorrow does not quietly restate what you handed someone last month. Mistakes are cancelled and re-billed, with the original kept and marked; on Pro, returns become credit notes with their own numbers. On Business, every change in the shop also records who made it and what it was before, and nobody can delete that record — the owner included.

  • Finalized bills are never edited
  • Cancel and re-bill, original kept and marked
  • Returns as credit notes in their own seriesPro
  • An activity log nobody can deleteBusiness

05 · Honestly

What you would give up

BillCountr does not generate e-invoices, e-way bills or GSTR returns, does not track batches or serial numbers, does not print barcode labels, and does not keep accounts or expenses. If your business needs any of these, BillCountr is the wrong move, and it is better to know that now.

  • No e-invoice, e-way bill or GSTR generation
  • No batch or serial-number tracking
  • No barcode label printing
  • No accounting or expense tracking

Common questions

Questions about switching from myBillBook.

Can I bring my items and customers across from myBillBook?

On the Business plan, if your current software can export your item and customer lists to a spreadsheet, BillCountr imports them in one go. Those two lists are what take longest to retype. On any plan, you can add items as they come up rather than all at once, and what customers already owe you goes in as an opening balance when you set them up.

What happens to the bills I have already made?

They stay in the software that issued them, which is where they belong: a GST invoice is part of the numbered series it was issued in. BillCountr starts its own series from the day you begin, so neither series has a gap.

Do I have to stop using myBillBook before I start?

No, and it is safer not to. Run a week or two of billing in parallel, or start with one counter. Your stock figure can only be right in one place while you do, so decide which one that is and stick to it until you have made up your mind.

Is BillCountr connected to myBillBook?

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

Can I take my data out later?

Yes, on every plan: your items, customers and ledger are yours to take out. On Pro, reports also export to Excel and a branded PDF. Nothing is locked in.
