What the Free Plan includes in India

GST filing is the job most Indian small businesses need done, so the Free Plan includes it.

  • Unlimited GST filing — GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B
  • GSTR-2B reconciliation with ITC tracking
  • 2 users · 1 GSTIN
  • 200 AI-categorised transactions per year
  • Unlimited invoices, bills & quotes
  • AP/AR aging · P&L · Balance Sheet · Cash Flow
  • Full mobile app (iOS & Android)
  • Robust email support
  • "Powered by HelloBooks" badge on invoices

How filing works

Returns are filed to the GST portal from inside HelloBooks through our GSTN-authorised GSP. You do not export a JSON and upload it yourself.

What is not in the Free Plan

Annual and specialist returns (GSTR-9, 9C, 7, 8 and ITC-04) and e-invoice or e-way bill volume are on paid plans. Free covers one GSTIN and two users. Invoices sent from Free carry a small “Powered by HelloBooks” badge.

When the 200 AI-categorized transactions are used up, AI categorization pauses and you continue by hand. Your books, invoices and filing keep working. Recharge AI credits any time with a credit pack, or upgrade.

How it compares on price

Other options charge for filing. ClearTax starts around ₹499/month. Busy’s GST tier is ₹8,000 per 360 days. Vyapar and myBillBook generate GST reports but do not file returns. Zoho Books’ free tier stops at ₹25 lakh turnover and 1,000 invoices a year. HelloBooks Free caps neither.

When you outgrow Free, Pro is ₹499/month with unlimited users, GSTR-9 generated ready to file, e-invoicing and Tally sync.
