Best for free GST invoicing for small Indian businesses
Swipe is an invoicing and billing app for small Indian businesses, with unlimited invoices on a free plan. The catch is that online payments, GSTR-1 and the unwatermarked bills sit on Pro, e-way bills on Jet, and e-invoicing has a separate plan whose price isn't shown.
Who Swipe is for
- Fits if you run a small Indian shop and want GST invoices without paying
- Works for sellers who keep stock and ship through Shopify or Shiprocket
Who Swipe is not for
- Skip it if you need e-invoicing, since that's a separate plan with no price shown
- Tight if you stay free, because online payments and watermark-free bills need Pro
- Watch out: unlimited e-way bills, batch tracking and POS billing are Jet at ₹3,799 a year
- Not for you if you run several businesses or warehouses, which means the custom Advanced plan
- Watch out: Pro and Jet are billed yearly or for three years, and these prices are the India edition only
Why Swipe gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyThe paid plan is ₹2,799 a year on the India page, roughly $3 a month, under 60% of the $9 where this category's cheaper quarter starts. The free plan also has unlimited invoices.
- BFree plan and trialUnlimited invoices, items and customers for 1 user and 1 business, free. One person can live on that, but 512 MB of storage and 10 AI scans are the edge.
- CFeaturesInvoices, quotes, inventory, GST reports and POS billing. The listing shows gaps: e-invoicing is a separate plan, POS is web only, and several businesses or warehouses need the custom plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a web app and two phone apps, and billing, GST and inventory need setting up before you're productive.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Android and iOS, with Tally, Shopify, Shiprocket and an API. No desktop app.

Keep Swipe, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Swipe you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 109 of the 127 other accounting and invoicing tools we grade. It costs $29.45 a year.
What you could make
- Invoicing, inventory, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Tally, Shopify and Shiprocket among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Swipe’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
