Questions about switching
Can I move my Tally data over?
You start fresh with masters import (customers, vendors, products) and opening balances; transactional history stays in Tally for reference. A guided import is on the roadmap.
Is it as compliant as Tally for GST?
Yes — GST invoices are correct by construction, with e-invoice (IRN), e-way bill, direct GSTR-1/3B filing via your GSP and 2B reconciliation, plus posted double-entry books and a GST error catcher Tally doesn’t have.
Does it work offline like Tally?
Fully offline — your books live in local SQLite with encrypted backups. Only AI and billing need connectivity.
What does TallyPrime do better than LekhaPro?
deep, mature accounting trusted by lakhs of Indian businesses and CAs, strong statutory coverage and a vast ecosystem of accountants who know it and local data and proven reliability at scale. On the comparison above, TallyPrime also matches us on posted double-entry gl + chart of accounts, gst returns, e-invoice/e-way & 2b reconciliation and your data stays on your machine. We would rather list those than pretend otherwise — if they are what your business turns on, TallyPrime is a reasonable choice and this page is not trying to talk you out of it.
When should I NOT switch from TallyPrime?
If your accountant is fluent in TallyPrime and your year-end depends on that fluency, the switching cost is real and it is yours to pay, not ours. If you need a public API to wire accounting into other systems, we do not have one. And if payroll must live in the same product, we have none at all. Those are three good reasons to stay.
What is the actual difference between LekhaPro and TallyPrime?
On the matrix above it comes down to works fully offline, full core in every plan, gst error catcher & notice-risk score and deterministic ai insights (offline). Underneath those rows the difference is one decision: everything posts to a single double-entry ledger that the returns, the reports and the AI all read from — so there is no second set of numbers anywhere in the product to reconcile.
Is LekhaPro cheaper than TallyPrime?
Often — our entry plan carries the whole double-entry core, GST returns, inventory and banking, with no separate AMC and no module that unlocks later. Compare what is inside the tier rather than the headline number, though, because that is where these products usually differ. Prices are shown ex-GST with the rate and gross beside them, and there is a 14-day trial with no card.
How do I evaluate the two properly?
Run a fortnight of your own real documents through both. 14 days, no card. Enter your awkward cases rather than clean ones — the inter-state sale, the credit note, the scheme discount, the batch return — because those are where accounting products differ, and where a demo dataset is designed to be silent.
What does support look like after switching?
Email and WhatsApp, from an India-based team that reads ledgers rather than scripts. The realistic expectation for the first month is that things you did by muscle memory in TallyPrime take longer here — that is a real cost of switching, and pretending otherwise would just make the second week worse.
