A modern, AI-native alternative to Marg ERP

It covers live stock, weighted-average or FIFO valuation, reservation on orders, barcode POS and COGS. Batch/expiry-level tracking is on the roadmap — confirm your exact needs before switching if you rely on it heavily.

Yes — your books live in local SQLite with encrypted backups; only AI and billing need connectivity.

deep inventory and distribution features popular with pharma, FMCG and wholesale, mature billing with batch and barcode support and a large install base and local install with established GST and statutory reporting. On the comparison above, Marg ERP also matches us on works fully offline, posted double-entry gl + chart of accounts and gst returns, e-invoice/e-way & 2b reconciliation. We would rather list those than pretend otherwise — if they are what your business turns on, Marg ERP is a reasonable choice and this page is not trying to talk you out of it.

If your accountant is fluent in Marg ERP 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.

Masters — customers, vendors, products — and opening balances come across; transaction history stays where it is, as a read-only archive. There is no automated import from Marg ERP today, and we would rather say so than oversell it. You start clean on a date you choose, which is why most businesses switch at a financial-year or quarter boundary.

On the matrix above it comes down to full core in every plan, gst error catcher & notice-risk score, deterministic ai insights (offline) and modern ui · light & dark. 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.

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.

It is correct by construction rather than at filing time: CGST/SGST and IGST split from HSN or SAC and place of supply as each invoice is raised, GSTR-1, 3B and 2B reconciliation come off those same books, and an error catcher flags wrong-head, wrong-rate, missing-HSN and duplicate invoices before you file rather than after a notice.

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.

Yes, and you should check this about any product including ours. On the Desktop edition your books are a database file on a disk you chose, with scheduled backups you control — stopping payment leaves you holding readable data. On Cloud, your data is isolated to your business and exportable from the reports it feeds.
