the honest comparison

ExtinctBook vs myBillBook: free khata vs paid billing software — which does your shop need?

myBillBook is India's billing app for 1 crore+ businesses. ExtinctBook is a free, focused udhar khata. They solve different problems. Here's how to know which one — or if you need both.

the pricing reality

What you actually pay for in myBillBook

WhatsApp reminders are a paid feature

myBillBook's WhatsApp marketing and SMS marketing are available on Platinum and higher plans — not in the basic Silver (₹33/month) or standard paid tiers. If WhatsApp reminders are why you're looking at myBillBook, check the current plan pricing before you sign up.

iOS and web access require ₹2,599/year

The Silver plan is Android-only. The Diamond plan at ₹2,599/year adds iOS access, web access, and multi-device sync. If you run the counter from a phone and review accounts from a laptop, that's the plan you need.

25+ reports — but daily profit isn't one tap

myBillBook has impressive reporting depth for accounting. The daily hisab a shopkeeper needs at closing time — how much udhar was given today, how much was collected, what's today's profit — requires navigating the reports menu rather than a home-screen tap.

where it matters

Three places the tools diverge.

the cost difference

Free vs ₹2,599/year

ExtinctBook's full khata — unlimited customers, entries, and WhatsApp reminders with payment links — is completely free. myBillBook's equivalent tier with web access and WhatsApp features costs ₹2,599/year. For a kirana shop that needs only udhar tracking and reminders, that's a real cost difference.

the reminder difference

Payment links vs paid marketing

ExtinctBook sends per-customer WhatsApp reminders with an embedded payment link, automatically. The customer taps and pays. myBillBook's WhatsApp feature is a marketing broadcast tool on a paid plan — not the same as automatic per-customer reminder with a payment link.

the focus difference

Khata tool vs billing suite

myBillBook is built for formal billing — invoices, GST compliance, 25+ reports. If you need all of that, it's excellent. If you need to quickly note that Sharma ji took ₹350 on credit and want an automated reminder to go out in a week, ExtinctBook is the sharper tool.

before you decide

Frequently asked questions.

Is myBillBook free?

myBillBook has a Silver plan starting at ₹33/month for basic Android-only billing. The first plan with iOS and web access is Diamond at ₹2,599/year. WhatsApp marketing features are on Platinum and above — not included in basic plans. ExtinctBook's core khata (unlimited customers, unlimited entries, WhatsApp reminders with payment links) is completely free.

Does myBillBook have WhatsApp reminders?

myBillBook offers WhatsApp marketing and SMS marketing on higher-tier paid plans. These are broadcast-style marketing tools, not automatic payment reminders tied to individual customer balances. ExtinctBook automatically sends WhatsApp reminders per customer with an embedded payment link they can tap to pay directly.

Is myBillBook a khata app or a billing app?

myBillBook is primarily a GST billing and invoicing app — it handles e-invoicing, e-way bills, 25+ business reports, inventory, and POS billing. It has a party ledger for tracking outstanding balances, but it is not designed for quick counter-side udhar entries. ExtinctBook is built purely for the khata use case.

Can I use both myBillBook and ExtinctBook?

Yes. If your shop needs both GST billing for business customers and quick udhar tracking for regular credit customers, running both tools is a practical approach. Use ExtinctBook at the counter for credit entries and reminders. Use myBillBook for formal invoicing and GST compliance.
