Vyapar is a popular billing and accounting app for small businesses, known for being quick to start and for working on a phone. DukanData is built for a shop with a counter, stock on shelves and staff who bill. Both make GST invoices, track stock and work without internet. They suit different shops.
In one line
- Vyapar is an app one person can start billing from in minutes — on a phone or a computer.
- DukanData is a shop's system: several people billing, each with their own login and limits, the owner watching from anywhere.
Side by side
| DukanData | Vyapar | |
|---|---|---|
| Built first for | A retail shop with a counter and staff | Small businesses and single owners who bill themselves |
| Where it runs | Any web browser, plus a counter app for Windows | Android and iOS apps; desktop apps for Windows and Mac |
| Billing from a phone | No phone app yet; reports and the day's figures reach the owner on WhatsApp | Yes — its phone app is its home |
| Without internet | The Windows counter app bills offline and syncs to the shop | Works offline and syncs when connected |
| How it is sold | A monthly or yearly plan, paid by UPI; 14 days free | A free plan on mobile, and yearly paid plans |
| Staff at the counter | A login per person, ten roles, discount and refund limits, approvals, shifts | Role-based access |
| End of the day | The drawer is counted, the day is locked, the report goes to the owner | Daily reports |
| Several counters, several branches | Each counter syncs to one shop; branches share one set of books | Multi-device sync |
Where Vyapar is strong
If you bill from your phone — a service business, a small trader, a stall — Vyapar's app is made for you, and its free plan lets you begin without paying. DukanData has no phone app for billing.
Where DukanData is different
- Built for staff, not only the owner. Every cashier has a login, a discount limit and a refund limit. Past the limit, a manager approves by PIN, phone code or WhatsApp — and the approval is on record.
- Cost and profit stay hidden from those who should not see them, on every screen and every export.
- The day end is a real close. Drawer counted, difference written down, day locked, owner told.
- Counters that agree. Several Windows counters bill at once, each offline-safe, all feeding one shop.
- A person sets it up. Items, parties and opening stock brought in from your Excel on the first call.
Which should you choose
- You bill alone, mostly from a phone: Vyapar fits.
- You have a counter, a helper or two, stock that must match the shelf, and you want to know the cash was right at night: DukanData.
