Tally facts are from its public website, checked on 17 October 2026. Prices are before GST unless stated. Points we could not confirm are left out.

When Tally may suit you better

  • You want GST returns, e-invoices and e-way bills sent straight to the portal from the software.
  • Several computers in your office share one set of books over a network.
  • You need full accounting depth for a larger business, or your CA team works in Tally.
  • You use a Mac (through Tally’s paid Cloud Access).

When StoreSathi fits

  • You run a shop counter and want a phone to bill alongside your PC.
  • You want a lower price: a one-time licence or ₹300 a month, PC and phone together.
  • Your staff should bill without seeing profit, each with their own PIN.
  • You want udhar khata, offers and WhatsApp bills built in, and to keep your Tally keys.

Questions

Can I move my data from Tally to StoreSathi? Yes. One Tally export brings in customers with udhar, vepari with balances and items with opening stock. Old bills stay in Tally.

Can my CA keep using Tally? Yes. StoreSathi exports ledgers and vouchers as a Tally XML file for TallyPrime or ERP 9.

Are the keyboard shortcuts the same? The voucher keys match (F4 to F9). A few other keys do something different; the Switch from Tally page lists them.

Does StoreSathi file GST returns directly? Not yet. It prepares the GSTR-1, e-invoice and e-way bill files that you upload on the portal.
