A cheaper GoFrugal alternative for shops and restaurants
Facts about GoFrugal are from its own page, read 4 November 2026. Nivasik is a competing product.
45-day free trial this Diwali · ₹0 · no card · opening offer · we do the setup
GoFrugal lists retail, restaurant and distribution plans; its pricing page showed no rupee figures when we read it. Look at it if you run several stores or distribution. Look at Nivasik if you run one or two places and want the counter, khata, staff pay and, if you have rooms, a hotel desk in one product.
Nivasik is ₹0 for your first 45 days this Diwali (every plan and add-on, no card). After that, you pay less than you pay today, quoted in writing. This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice.
What it costs
Its pricing page shows no rupee amounts on the day we read it (it says the page is under maintenance). It lists a 30-day free trial, says prices include GST for India, and says yearly subscriptions cover the licence only, with training and implementation extra.
One shop's billing software: published prices
For one business, as each vendor publishes it, before tax where the vendor says so. Yearly plans for the others; Nivasik's ₹0 is a 45-day trial; after it, we quote below what you pay today.

List prices, not quotes. What each plan includes differs, and none of these includes hardware. Marg's page does not say whether its price is per year or one-time, so it is drawn beside the yearly plans and marked. Read 4 November 2026.
Nivasik is ₹0 for your first 45 days this Diwali. Our lowest-price promise: when the 45-day trial ends, show us what you pay now for similar software and we quote you less, in writing. Not paying for software today? We agree a low price with you before the trial ends. The promise covers a paid plan you are really on, shown by a bill or a renewal quote, compared like for like before tax. It cannot go below a free tier, and it compares price only: what each tool does still differs. You decide whether to continue, and nothing is charged without your yes. This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice.
When GoFrugal is the better choice
When GoFrugal is the better choice
- You run several stores or a chain and want a retail ERP.
- You run distribution.
- You want a local implementation partner and training.
- You want a 30-day trial of a retail-first product.
When Nivasik is the better choice
- You run one or two places.
- You want a hotel, restaurant and shop on one product.
- You want it on a phone, with no installation.
- You want to start at ₹0 for your first 45 days.
What Nivasik does not do
Said plainly, before you decide
- It does not file GST returns or issue e-invoices or e-way bills. GST data is exported, and Tally is an import file, not a live link.
- It takes no card payments and runs no payment gateway. The booking page takes a booking as 'pay at the property'.
- Swiggy and Zomato orders do not arrive by themselves. They are typed in at the counter and priced at the app's price, with the app's commission booked on each; the link that would deliver them is not live.
- There is no combined screen across properties. Each property is separate and you switch between them.
