Questions about switching
Can I still share invoices on WhatsApp?
Yes — WhatsApp and email sharing, plus a UPI pay-by-QR printed on the invoice itself.
Is there a mobile app like myBillBook?
LekhaPro is desktop-first (offline) for full accounting; a companion mobile app is on the roadmap.
What does myBillBook do better than LekhaPro?
very easy mobile-first GST billing popular with small shops and traders, whatsApp invoice sharing, staff access and quick setup and affordable entry point with a familiar app experience. On the comparison above, myBillBook also matches us on gst returns, e-invoice/e-way & 2b reconciliation and modern ui · light & dark. We would rather list those than pretend otherwise — if they are what your business turns on, myBillBook is a reasonable choice and this page is not trying to talk you out of it.
When should I NOT switch from myBillBook?
If your accountant is fluent in myBillBook 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.
Can I move my data over from myBillBook?
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 myBillBook 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.
What is the actual difference between LekhaPro and myBillBook?
On the matrix above it comes down to works fully offline, full core in every plan, posted double-entry gl + chart of accounts and gst error catcher & notice-risk score. 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 myBillBook?
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.
Is the GST handling as reliable?
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.
Will it keep working when the internet is down?
On the Desktop edition, entirely — the database is a file on your machine, so billing, accounting, GST and stock behave identically with the network unplugged. AI and billing are the only two things that reach out. The Cloud edition needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.
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.
