Giddh vs Tally Prime (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Giddh if

• Fits if you keep Indian GST books and have several people entering data
• Works for accountants managing a few client companies

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, because it stops at 1,000 invoices and 1,000 bills
• Watch out: every extra voucher over your plan's count costs INR 1
• Pricey if you need many companies, since Vine is INR 10,000 for up to 10
• Watch out: prices are rupees excluding GST, and the monthly toggle prices weren't read
• Not for you if you're outside India, because UK and UAE pages price in other currencies

Pick Tally Prime if

• Fits if you run a small business on Windows and want accounts and stock in one program
• Works for Indian businesses that need GST-style tax compliance built in

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you use a Mac or want a phone app, because it is Windows only
• Not for you if you want cloud access in the price, as that is bought separately
• Watch out: prices differ by region, with the India page quoting 750 rupees a month plus 18% GST
• Watch out: the trial length is not stated, and the multi-user Gold plan showed placeholder prices on the North America page

Giddh

• Prices shown are the India set, in rupees and excluding GST; the UK and UAE pages use other currencies.
• The pricing page counts invoices and bills per plan; extra vouchers cost INR 1 each.
• The Month and Year toggle on the pricing page shows yearly prices by default; monthly prices were not read.
• The site says students and teachers can use it free of charge.

Tally Prime

• Runs as a Windows desktop program; the pages read list no Mac, iOS or Android app.
• Prices differ by region: the India page shows 750 rupees a month (plus 18% GST) for the single-user Silver edition, and the North America page shows dollars.
• On the North America page, the multi-user Gold plan showed rupee placeholder prices when read, so no dollar Gold price is recorded here.
• Cloud access and WhatsApp sharing are not part of the plan price and are bought separately.
