HelloBooks — Free GST Software + AI Bookkeeping for Indian SMBs
Free GST + AI Bookkeeping for Indian SMBs.. Truly free for businesses under the ₹40L GST turnover threshold. AI-powered books, direct GST returns, e-invoicing — no credit card required.
HelloBooks is a free GST accounting software and AI bookkeeping platform for Indian small and midsize businesses. It files GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-2B reconciliation directly to the GSTN portal via Fynamics GSP, generates IRN-signed e-invoices, produces e-way bills, and classifies goods and services with HSN/SAC codes automatically.
The Free Plan ships every one of HelloBooks' 154 accounting features — GST-aware invoicing, bills, ledgers, P&L, balance sheet, and bank reconciliation — with 500 AI credits per month and up to 3 users, no credit card required. Pro is ₹499/month (₹4,999/year) with unlimited users and 1,500 AI credits. The free plan is uncapped by turnover; ₹40 lakhs is the GST registration threshold for goods (₹20 lakhs for services, ₹10 lakhs in special-category states) below which most Indian SMBs do not need paid GST features at all.
HelloBooks is built for Indian SMBs across retail, manufacturing, garment and boutique stores, bakery and sweet shops, cloud kitchens, pharmacies, agriculture, construction, education, cooperative societies, and professional services — with an Indian compliance stack covering GST, TDS, TCS, HSN/SAC, e-invoicing, e-way bills, and composition-scheme support. It is a modern alternative to Tally, Vyapar, Marg, BUSY, Zoho Books, and ClearTax.

Why choose HelloBooks
Six concrete reasons businesses pick HelloBooks over QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, and Tally — pulled from real differentiators on the platform today, not roadmap promises.
AI that learns your books
The AI Accounting Agent auto-categorizes transactions with 95%+ accuracy, reconciles bank feeds, and suggests journal entries. It is AI-first, not bolted on after the fact like QuickBooks or Tally.
Real GST e-invoicing, AU BAS & UK MTD compliance
India GST e-invoicing — IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and QR codes generated through our Fynamics GSP integration. Australia BAS (Business Activity Statement) quarterly returns and UK HMRC Making Tax Digital (MTD) are supported natively — no third-party connectors or plugins.
Built-in payroll via HelloTime
HelloTime, our sibling product in the Meru Fin Tech suite, handles attendance, leave, and payroll, and posts payroll journals straight into HelloBooks so books and pay stay in sync.
Unlimited users, multi-currency on every plan
Every paid plan includes unlimited users and full multi-currency with live exchange rates. QuickBooks caps users by tier and locks multi-currency behind Plus ($115/mo+); HelloBooks does not.
11,000+ U.S. banks via Plaid with AI matching
Connect any of 11,000+ U.S. banks and credit unions through Plaid for read-only, real-time transaction feeds, then let the AI engine auto-match each line against invoices and bills.
Free Plan with all 154 features, Pro at $9.99/mo
The Free Plan ships every one of the 154 accounting features with up to 3 users and 500 AI credits per month — no credit card. Pro is a flat $9.99/month with unlimited users and no per-user fees.
