JustBill vs myBillBook: a myBillBook alternative for GST billing

myBillBook suits you if you want native Android and iOS apps, a desktop app, a low yearly price for a single user, or built-in SMS and WhatsApp marketing. Its FAQ also says you can bulk import data from Marg, Tally, Vyapar and Busy.

JustBill suits you if you want to start on a free plan, need several staff logins without jumping to a top plan, or raise a high volume of invoices. It runs in a browser, so any phone or PC with your login is ready to bill.

JustBill has three plans. Free is ₹0 for 50 invoices a month and one user. Silver is ₹349 a month or ₹3,399 a year, with 500 invoices a month, 3 users, reports and WhatsApp. Gold is ₹399 a month or ₹3,799 a year, with unlimited invoices, unlimited users, e-invoicing, CA sharing and priority support. See JustBill pricing.

myBillBook’s pricing page listed Plus at ₹3,490 a year, Pro at ₹3,990 a year, and Pro Max from ₹570 a month billed yearly. These were shown as discounted from higher regular prices. The page does not say whether GST is included, and first-time users can take a free trial.

For one person billing alone, myBillBook’s Plus or Pro plan can cost less per year than JustBill Silver. The picture changes as you add staff or need e-invoicing, so price the plan that matches your team size, invoice volume and GST needs on each side.

• Native apps. myBillBook has Android and iOS apps, plus a Windows desktop app from the Pro plan. JustBill runs in the browser and can be installed as a web app, but it has no app-store apps.
• Importing from other software. Its FAQ says you can bulk import from Marg, Tally, Vyapar and Busy as well as Excel. JustBill imports customers, suppliers and items from CSV or Excel only.
• Lower entry price for a single user. Plus and Pro were listed below JustBill Silver’s yearly price.
• Marketing extras. Plus includes an online store, Pro adds SMS and WhatsApp marketing, and Pro Max adds loyalty and rewards.
• An accountant seat on every plan. Each listed myBillBook plan includes one CA login.

• A free plan. Start on Free for up to 50 invoices a month and upgrade only when you need to.
• More users earlier. Silver includes 3 users and Gold 10, each with admin, staff or view-only access and an audit log of changes.
• No invoice cap on Gold. Useful for busy counters and distributors.
• GST return files. Download GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 JSON for the GST portal and match purchase bills with GSTR-2B (Silver and above). See GST return filing.
• Billing when the line drops. New invoices and payments made offline are saved in the browser and sync when you reconnect.
• Ten document types. Quotations, proforma invoices, delivery challans, returns, credit and debit notes and purchase orders, with quotations that convert into invoices.

JustBill is a good myBillBook alternative if you want a free starting point, need several staff logins, or bill at high volume. If you rely on app-store apps, want to import from Marg, Busy or Vyapar, or only need one user at the lowest yearly price, myBillBook may suit you better.

1. 1

   Choose a start date

   Pick the first day of a month or the financial year and finish that period in myBillBook.

2. 2

   Get your lists into a spreadsheet

   Prepare a CSV or Excel file of customers and suppliers with opening balances, and one of items with HSN/SAC, GST rate, prices and opening stock. myBillBook’s Tally export produces XML, which JustBill cannot read, so check with myBillBook for a spreadsheet export or build the lists yourself.

3. 3

   Import into JustBill

   Upload the files from the Parties and Items pages. JustBill accepts .csv, .xlsx and .xls, checks each row and lists any errors by row number before saving.

4. 4

   Set up godowns and billing

   Create your godowns, add GSTIN, bank account and UPI ID, logo, signature and invoice theme.

5. 5

   Invite your team

   Add staff as admin, staff or view-only users, and on Gold share reports with your CA through a read-only link.
