The short answer
If you only need accounts and GST for one office, TallyPrime, BUSY or Marg will cost less. If you want to start on your own in the cloud, Zoho Books or Odoo are quick to try. MyRecords suits businesses that want accounts, stock, payroll, CRM and support in one system, with unlimited users, set up and supported for them.

Questions
Questions people ask
Something else on your mind?
Ask us anything about modules, a quote or moving across. A person from our team replies.
Ask a question01Who wrote these comparisons?
The MyRecords team. We make MyRecords, so read them knowing that. That is why each page lists its sources, the date they were checked, and when to choose the other product.
02Can MyRecords cost more than desktop software?
Often, yes. A MyRecords quote includes setup, data migration, training and support, and it covers accounts, stock, HR, payroll, CRM and support in one system, customised to your requirements. If you only need accounts and GST, a desktop package will usually cost less. Ask for a quote and compare it with your other options.
03Where do the competitors’ prices come from?
From each company’s own published pricing page, on the date shown, with the source linked. One-time licences, monthly plans and setup fees only line up over a few years, so read them with your own team size in mind.
04Can I ask for a comparison with another product?
Yes. Tell us through the contact page which one, and why.
