Where 399Apps wins on value

Zoho Books is capable software, but its paid plans are priced per organisation with user limits per tier, so the cost rises as you add staff or your accountant. Its free plan is restricted to businesses under ₹25 lakh turnover with one user plus an accountant.

Nidhi Books includes unlimited users on every plan with no per-seat fee and no client cap — from ₹399/month for your first app, with each add-on at ₹99/month (prices exclude GST). For a growing team, that flat, user-independent pricing is usually the bigger long-run saving.

On compliance you are covered either way: GST invoicing, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, TDS and e-invoicing are built in, and migration from Zoho is a guided CSV/Excel import of contacts, items and balances.
