Vyapar's "offline mode" only works on a Windows desktop app. When your internet goes down, Vyapar on mobile or browser stops working completely.
Running 2+ shops? Vyapar charges extra for multi-branch. You need a separate paid plan per business entity.
Neither Vyapar nor Tally has a built-in loyalty points system for retail customers. Billux is the only billing software with loyalty points integrated directly at the POS counter.
Vyapar costs ₹3,500/year. Tally Prime costs ₹18,000/year and charges per user. Billux is ₹2,500/year with no per-user charges.
Tally Prime has no POS counter. It's an accounting tool, not a retail billing tool. You cannot run a fast-billing counter on Tally without expensive third-party add-ons.
Tally has zero WhatsApp integration. Sharing invoices requires printing to PDF, opening WhatsApp, and attaching manually — every single time.
Tally requires training and a Tally-certified operator. Most shop owners cannot use it without hiring an accountant. It's designed for CAs, not shopkeepers.
Tally Prime's cloud access (TallyPrime.net) costs extra and has limitations. Your data is tied to a Windows machine in your shop.
