Anyone comparing web gst software price is really asking two questions: what will this cost me this year, and what will it cost me when I have grown. The pricing page answers the first. This page answers the second.
What GST software is worth paying for
Not features. Almost every product in this market lists the same features, and most of them are genuinely there.
What is worth paying for is what happens on the days that go wrong: whether the tax split can be got wrong at all, whether the return summary reconciles without repair, whether a second person can be given a login safely, and whether you can leave with everything.
Those are the four things that decide whether a year from now this was a good purchase. Everything else is decoration.
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.
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.
Why we do not publish competitors’ prices
Pages comparing web 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.
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.
CGST, SGST and IGST — worked out, not chosen
Whether a sale attracts CGST and SGST or IGST is not a preference. It follows from the place of supply: same state as your registration means the tax splits into central and state halves, a different state means one integrated tax at the combined rate.
That sounds simple and goes wrong constantly, because it is a dropdown in most billing software and a dropdown is something a tired person clicks past. In Billixo the split is derived from the state on the customer record against the state on your registration, and it changes the moment either does.
The consequence of getting it wrong is real: an IGST invoice raised as CGST/SGST has to be credited and reissued, and if the return has already gone in, amended.
Where this fits in a working day
Morning: yesterday’s supplier bills get photographed and become purchase records. Through the day: invoices go out as goods do, shared on WhatsApp before the customer has left. End of the week: the receivables list says who to call. End of the month: the GST summary is a download, not a project.
None of that requires a new habit, which is the point. A billing system that needs discipline to work is one that stops working the first busy week.
What "free" means here, exactly
The Free plan costs nothing, needs no card, and has no expiry date. It is not a trial that turns into a bill; it is a plan you can run a small business on indefinitely.
What it gives you:
- Real GST invoices with the full Rule 46 field set
- Customers and products, with HSN/SAC held against each
- A daily and monthly invoice allowance, generous enough for a small operation
- One login
- Export of your own data, whenever you want it
What it does not give you:
- A watermark-free PDF
- GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B export
- The AI features — bill scanning, HSN lookup, the assistant
- Extra team logins, bulk import, recurring invoices and reminders
Every new account also gets the full paid feature set for its first 14 days, so you can see what the ceiling looks like before deciding whether you need it. When that ends nothing is charged and nothing is deleted — the account simply settles onto Free.
Start free now — it takes an email address and about a minute.
Where your data lives
On the server this platform is installed on. Every record carries a company identifier and every query is scoped to the signed-in account at the framework level, so one business cannot read another’s data by any route, including a crafted one.
Sign-in is rate limited, sessions can be restricted to one device per user, and passwords are stored hashed. Exports are available on every plan, free included: if you ever want to leave, your data leaves with you.
Frequently asked questions
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 is the cheapest way to run GST billing legally?
A free plan that produces complete, compliant invoices. That is genuinely enough for a small business — the paid features here are conveniences and reports, not compliance.
Are the invoices valid for GST?
Yes. Every invoice carries the fields Rule 46 requires — GSTIN, HSN/SAC on each line, place of supply, the correct CGST/SGST or IGST split, and a consecutive invoice series that restarts each financial year.
Can I move my existing customers and products in?
Yes. Bulk import from CSV or Excel on any paid plan, and export back out in CSV, Excel or JSON at any time, including on Free. Most people bring their party and item lists across in one pass and carry outstanding invoices as opening balances.
Try it — the demo is the product
There is no sales call and no scheduled demo, because a recorded walkthrough of somebody else’s data tells you nothing about your own. Open an account instead and raise a real invoice for a real customer; it takes about a minute and costs nothing.
