Which app is the best Khatabook alternative?
It depends on the job. For what your own team spends, Splitkaro Business is a shared cashbook with bill photos and staff payments, which the khata apps do not do. For getting customer udhaar back, OkCredit does the same work as Khatabook, with automatic SMS reminders and WhatsApp payment links.
Is there a free Khatabook alternative?
OkCredit has a free plan with unlimited customers and entries. Splitkaro Business is free to start, with as many books as you need. CashBook is paid, and you pay for each wallet.
Which app tracks what my team spends, not customer udhaar?
Splitkaro Business, if you want to note what your team already spent and pay them back. CashBook, if you would rather give staff a company wallet before they spend.
Can one app do both?
Splitkaro can. A Business group keeps your shop accounts, and an Office group tracks what each customer owes: add the expense on the customer, see their balance, and tap Remind. What it does not have is a QR code to take payment or automatic SMS to customers, which is what the khata apps are built around.
