Shop-owner comparison · Reviewed 3 October 2026
Compare the way your counter actually works: internet availability, devices, godown stock, GST submission and the total cost of the required plan.
Prepared by Dukanam. Competitor statements come from linked official pages; they are not independent performance tests.
Vyapar advertises offline billing on desktop and mobile applications. If billing during internet outages is essential, test that workflow before considering Dukanam, which does not currently promise offline billing.
| Buying question | Dukanam | Vyapar |
|---|---|---|
| Can the counter bill without internet? | Dukanam does not promise offline billing. Plan for an internet connection and test your everyday counter setup before switching. A compatible USB scanner can enter a stored barcode as keyboard input; test receipt printing with your own browser and printer. Dukanam workflow | Vyapar advertises offline billing with later synchronization. Confirm the supported application, synchronization behaviour and plan on your own devices. Official source |
| Which devices can staff use? | Dukanam has a browser-based web application and Android and iOS apps for supported business workflows. Check the app page for official store links. Test your scanner, receipt printer and counter setup separately; app availability does not imply every hardware integration. Dukanam workflow | Vyapar advertises desktop and mobile access. Its product page also contains an iOS availability notification form, so verify current app-store availability and the exact platform included in your purchase. Official source |
| What happens when GST records are ready? | No. Dukanam provides plan-gated GST preparation, including GST-aware documents and return working data. Review and export those records for your filing process. GST preparation is separate from direct GST portal filing, IRP submission and e-way submission; Dukanam does not currently promise those submissions. Dukanam workflow | Vyapar advertises e-invoice and e-way workflows. Confirm plan access, registration prerequisites and whether the chosen workflow submits the record or only prepares it. Official source |
| What should a shop with a godown check? | Yes, on a plan with warehouse stock. Maintain locations and transfers within the same business and check each location’s stock. A transfer changes location quantities without changing total stock. This does not promise a complete multi-outlet ERP or automatic box-to-piece conversion. Dukanam workflow | Vyapar advertises godown management. Verify the included locations, users, transfers and stock reports in the device and plan you will buy. Official source |

There is no universal price winner. Compare the active Dukanam plan with the Vyapar plan for the same devices, staff, locations, billing term, tax and hardware requirements. Promotional prices and included workflows can change.
No complete automatic Vyapar migration is promised here. Dukanam supports defined spreadsheet imports; verify the supported fields and separately reconcile opening stock, balances and historical documents before switching.
Check your own items, staff, stock locations and opening balances against the plan you need.
