Vyapar overview: who it is for and what it does.
Vyapar is built for shopkeepers, traders, distributors and service businesses that need GST-compliant invoices and simple books without hiring an accountant. Its core is billing: sale and purchase invoices, estimates, delivery challans, payment-in and payment-out entries, with stock levels updating as documents are saved.
Licences are sold per platform. Independent price trackers list Gold and Platinum licences for mobile, desktop and desktop-plus-mobile, billed annually, and Capterra lists a Desktop Gold licence at INR 3,399 for one year or INR 8,848 for three years. Platinum adds more advanced features such as additional reporting and multi-firm options over Gold.
A price tracker recorded Vyapar cutting its annual USD list prices by about 10 percent in June 2026 and restoring them in early July 2026, so the price you see may depend on a running offer. There is no permanent free plan in the sources reviewed; a free trial is listed.
Main problem it solves
