What computax gst software price looks like once you count the things no pricing page lists — setup, time per invoice, and the errors a cheap system lets through. Plus a free plan that makes the first comparison easy.
The costs that are never on the pricing page
Setup. Hours to configure, plus whatever it costs to have someone do it if you cannot.
Time per invoice, forever. Thirty seconds saved on each of forty invoices a day is an hour a week. Over a year that dwarfs any licence in this market.
Errors. An invoice with the wrong tax split costs a credit note, a reissue, sometimes an amended return, and a phone call about a customer’s missing input credit.
Leaving. If the export is poor, the cost of a bad choice compounds because the exit is expensive. Test the export before you buy, not after.
The licence fee is usually the smallest of the four.
The costs that are not on any pricing page
- The second user. This is where most pricing steps up, and it is what most small businesses need within a year.
- Renewal, as against any first-year or introductory price.
- The edition you actually need, rather than the one that was quoted.
- Setup, data migration and training — real money for installed software, and usually quoted separately.
- Time per invoice. Thirty seconds against two minutes, across a year, costs more than any licence difference. Nobody invoices themselves for it.
- Errors the system lets through, paid for at return time in somebody's hours.
- Being late, which carries a per-day late fee per return plus interest on tax paid late.
- Getting your data out, if export turns out to be a paid feature.
How Billixo is priced
- Free plan — ₹0. No card, no expiry. Volume limits, one login, a watermark on the PDF, no GST return export and no AI features. Everything else works.
- Paid plans — bought for a term. One payment for the period, not a subscription.
- No auto-renewal. No card is kept on file. When a term ends the account settles back onto Free rather than stopping or charging.
- No per-invoice charge. Volume is a plan limit, not a meter.
- Team logins included on the paid plans rather than sold per seat.
- Export on every plan, free included — CSV, Excel and JSON.
- Fourteen days of the full paid product on every new account, free, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.
- A money-back window on paid purchases, stated on the pricing section.
Working out what you should actually pay
- Count your invoices in a normal month, and in your busiest month. The busy month is the number that matters.
- Count how many people need to raise an invoice or see the numbers. That decides whether per-user pricing works for you.
- Decide whether you need the GST return export monthly, or whether your CA assembles it anyway.
- Decide whether the AI features — bill scanning especially — would actually save you time. If you enter more than twenty purchase bills a month, they will.
- Start on the free plan and see which limit you hit first. That limit is what you are buying, and nothing else.
Why we do not publish competitors’ prices
Pages comparing computax gst software price usually list every vendor’s pricing in a table. Those tables are almost always out of date, and being wrong about somebody else’s prices is both unfair to them and useless to you.
Ours are on the home page and are current by definition. For anybody else’s, go to their site. Any comparison table on a vendor’s own website — including this one — should be read with that in mind.
Free, cheap, and expensive — in the long run
The cheapest software in this market is not the one with the lowest price. It is the one that stops you making the expensive mistakes: wrong tax heads, broken invoice series, a return that does not reconcile, purchases entered twice.
That is why the free plan here is a real plan rather than a demo. If a ₹0 tier removes those mistakes for a small business, the business should be allowed to stay on it — and upgrade when its own growth, not a countdown, makes the case.
Reverse charge, exports and the supplies that behave differently
Not every supply is a straightforward taxable sale. Some notified supplies put the tax liability on the recipient rather than the supplier. Exports and supplies to an SEZ can be made under a bond or LUT without payment of tax, or with tax and a refund claimed afterwards. Composition dealers cannot charge tax at all and must say so on the bill.
Each of these changes what the invoice has to say — the reverse charge marking, the LUT reference, the "composition taxable person" declaration. They are not exotic cases; most businesses hit at least one.
The fields are on the invoice in Billixo whether or not you use them, so the day you need one you are not looking for a workaround.
What a GST invoice legally has to carry
Rule 46 of the CGST Rules sets out what a tax invoice must show, and it is a longer list than most invoice templates carry. Getting one field wrong does not usually cost you anything the day you raise it — it costs your customer their input credit months later, which is a harder conversation.
The fields are:
- Your name, address and GSTIN
- A consecutive invoice number, unique within the financial year
- The date of issue
- The customer's name, address and GSTIN where they are registered
- Place of supply, and the state code, for inter-state supplies
- HSN or SAC against every line
- Description, quantity, unit, rate and taxable value per line
- Rate and amount of CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess, shown separately
- Whether tax is payable on reverse charge
- Signature or digital signature of the supplier or an authorised person
Billixo fills these in from the customer and product records rather than asking you to remember them, which is the only reliable way a busy counter gets them all right every time.
Who it is built for
Small and mid-sized Indian businesses that are registered under GST and bill regularly. One person doing everything, or a counter with three people billing at once and an accountant who needs the month to close cleanly.
The design assumption throughout is that whoever raises the invoice is busy and is not a tax specialist. So the tax is computed rather than asked for, the compliance fields are populated rather than presented as questions, and the report the accountant wants is a download rather than a request.
Try it free — the free plan needs no card and does not expire.
Free, and what it costs you instead
Free software usually costs you something that is not money: your data held hostage, an export that does not work, ads inside your invoice, or a "free" tier so narrow it is a demo with a login screen.
The line here is drawn differently. Export works on the free plan — CSV, Excel and JSON — because data you cannot get out is not data you own. The invoice is a real compliant invoice, not a sample. The limits are on volume and on the conveniences, not on whether the thing works.
Start free now. If it does not suit you, take your data with you.
Reliability, backups and getting your data out
Cloud billing software is only as good as its worst day. Two things matter more than any feature list: that your data is backed up somewhere you can reach, and that you can export it in a format something else can read.
Exports here are CSV, Excel and JSON, on every plan including the free one, covering customers, products, invoices and payments. That is the honest test of whether software respects you — not what it promises, but what it lets you take when you leave.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge per user?
No. Team logins are included in the paid plans rather than sold per seat. The Free plan is a single login.
Do you charge per invoice?
No. Volume is a plan limit rather than a meter, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.
Is there a refund if it does not suit me?
There is a money-back window on paid purchases — the current period is stated on the pricing section. More usefully, the free plan and the 14 days of full access mean you can answer the question before paying at all.
What happens to my data if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted. The account settles back onto the Free plan: the paid conveniences switch off, the volume limits return, and every invoice, customer and product you created stays exactly where it is — including the export.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It is a browser application that adapts to the screen, so the same account works from a desktop at the counter and a phone in the market. There is no separate app to keep in step.
Start free, decide later
You do not have to choose a plan to begin. Start on Free, use it for as long as it suits you, and upgrade only when a limit actually gets in your way — never automatically, and never because a countdown ran out.
