Phoneo vs Vyapar Pricing: Plans, Features & Which Software Is Better for Mobile Shops?

Short answer: Phoneo starts at ₹99/month and is built specifically for mobile retail — IMEI-wise stock, second-hand phones and accessories. Vyapar's mobile-only Silver plan starts at ₹699/year and is built for general GST billing and accounting across many kinds of small business. If your shop is a phone shop, the deciding factor is usually workflow fit, not the monthly figure.
Mobile shop owners compare before buying because switching is expensive: stock has to be re-entered and staff retrained, and a bad fit usually shows up two months later in the middle of a busy day. Comparing on price alone is what causes that — a cheaper tool that can't hold IMEI numbers the way you actually sell phones costs more in manual work than it saves in subscription.
There is also a category difference worth naming early. Vyapar is general small-business billing and accounting software used across retail, wholesale, services and manufacturing. Phoneo is mobile shop management software, designed around phones, IMEI numbers and how a mobile counter runs. Both can bill a customer; they are optimised for different jobs.
This comparison covers current pricing for both, plan-by-plan features, guidance by shop type, pros and cons, and a conditional verdict. All pricing was checked on 5 September 2026 on each company's own website. Promotional pricing changes often, so confirm on the official pricing pages (both linked in Related, below) before you pay.

Vyapar Pricing 2026
Vyapar prices differently. Instead of a monthly subscription, you buy a licence for a fixed term, and the price depends on which devices you run it on. There are two tiers — Silver and Gold — each sold as a 1-year or 3-year licence for mobile only, desktop only, or both.
The prices below are the discounted figures on Vyapar's own pricing page on 5 September 2026, with the struck-through list price in brackets.
- Desktop costs far more than mobile. A one-year mobile Silver licence is ₹699; the same year on desktop is ₹3,799. The device choice moves the price more than the tier does.
- Gold adds capability, not devices. On desktop-inclusive plans it adds multi-device sync, up to 5 companies, unlimited e-way bills, bulk item updates, Tally export, an accounting module, party-wise profit and loss, and WhatsApp Connect.
- Mobile-only Gold is a shorter list — data sync, multiple companies, ad-free invoices, multiple item pricing, restoring deleted transactions and party-wise P&L.
- Serial/IMEI tracking sits on premium plans. Vyapar's guide describes serial and batch tracking as a premium feature, and notes an item can be tracked by serial number or by batch, not both.
| Devices | Term | Silver | Gold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile only | 1 year | ₹699 (from ₹1,199) | ₹799 (from ₹1,399) |
| Mobile only | 3 years | ₹1,499 (from ₹2,599) | ₹1,699 (from ₹3,299) |
| Desktop only | 1 year | ₹3,799 (from ₹6,399) | ₹4,099 (from ₹7,699) |
| Desktop only | 3 years | ₹8,599 (from ₹14,699) | ₹9,099 (from ₹17,099) |
| Desktop + mobile | 1 year | ₹4,399 (from ₹7,499) | ₹4,799 (from ₹9,099) |
| Desktop + mobile | 3 years | ₹9,599 (from ₹16,299) | ₹9,899 (from ₹18,699) |
Two things could not be confirmed from Vyapar's pricing page and should be checked with Vyapar directly: whether listed prices include GST, and the exact free-trial length — its own pages quote different periods (15 days on the pricing-detail page, 7 days for desktop on a product page). Vyapar also describes its Android app as free to use, with paid plans unlocking more features.
Phoneo vs Vyapar Pricing Comparison
Because the two use different billing models, the honest comparison is per year. The Phoneo column uses yearly billing; the Vyapar column uses the one-year licence.
| Phoneo | Vyapar | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | ₹99/month | ₹699/year (mobile only) |
| Monthly plan | Yes — ₹99 to ₹999/month | No monthly plan; licences are annual |
| Entry yearly cost | ₹1,010/year (Silver) | ₹699/year mobile, ₹3,799/year desktop |
| Mid-tier yearly cost | ₹3,050 (Gold) / ₹4,070 (Diamond) | ₹799/year mobile Gold, ₹4,099/year desktop Gold |
| Multi-year option | Not offered | 3-year licences at a lower effective rate |
| Billing | Digital Invoice from Gold (₹299/month) | Included in all plans |
| Inventory | Included from Silver (₹99/month) | Included in all plans |
| IMEI management | IMEI-wise, from Silver | Serial/IMEI tracking on premium plans |
| Staff | Unlimited users on all plans; permissions from Gold | Multiple users with role permissions |
| Website | Personal Website from Gold | Online Store catalogue link |
| Reports | Advance Analytics from Gold; Email Report from Diamond | Sales, profit and GST reports; party-wise P&L on Gold |
| Second-hand phones | Built-in workflow | Not published as a dedicated module |
On raw subscription cost, a mobile-only Vyapar licence at ₹699/year is the cheapest line here — below Phoneo's ₹1,010/year Silver. Once you need desktop billing the picture flips: Vyapar desktop is ₹3,799–₹4,099/year against Phoneo Gold at ₹3,050 and Diamond at ₹4,070, and Phoneo has no per-device charge at all.
Phoneo vs Vyapar: Feature Comparison
This table covers what mobile shop owners ask about most. "Not listed" means the company does not publish that as a named feature — it is not a claim that the job cannot be done another way.

The pattern is consistent rather than lopsided. Vyapar is stronger on general accounting plumbing — e-way bills, multiple companies, Tally export. Phoneo is stronger on mobile-retail specifics — IMEI-wise stock, second-hand handling, stock audit, dead stock alerts. Neither list makes the other product bad; they reflect what each was built to do.
Phoneo vs Vyapar for Mobile Shops
Feature counts don't decide this. Which shop you're running does.
For a small mobile shop
If you are one or two people and stock lives in a register, Phoneo Silver at ₹99/month organises inventory for the price of a recharge. If your problem is the opposite — you need GST bills today and stock is simple — Vyapar's mobile-only Silver licence at ₹699/year is cheaper, because Phoneo's Digital Invoice starts at Gold (₹299/month).
For a growing mobile shop
With a second counter the questions change: who billed what, which stock is dead, can customers find you online. Phoneo Gold covers Staff Mode Login, Advance Analytics, Dead Stock Alert and a Personal Website in one ₹299/month step. Vyapar covers multi-user and reporting and adds multi-device sync on Gold, but you pay the desktop-inclusive rate to use it across a counter PC and a phone.
For a second-hand mobile shop
This is the clearest split. A used-phone counter needs each handset held as its own unit — IMEI, condition, what you paid, what you're asking, warranty, and photographs of the actual device. Phoneo is built around that. Vyapar can hold a serial or IMEI number against an item, but its guide is explicit that an item is tracked by serial or batch, not both, and it does not publish a second-hand workflow with condition, purchase price and device images as named features. Where most margin comes from used phones, that gap outweighs any price difference here.
For a shop with staff
Both handle staff, differently. Vyapar offers multiple users with role-based permissions, per-user device sync and an activity view of who did what. Phoneo includes Unlimited Users and Unlimited Devices on every plan, including ₹99 Silver, and adds section-wise Staff Mode Login from Gold. With several helpers who each need a login, Phoneo's model is simpler to budget.
For a mobile shop with repair services
Both sides need a caveat here. Vyapar records repair as service income, tracks spare-parts stock and markets job cards in a workshop context — a workable setup for a counter doing occasional repairs. Phoneo publishes a repair job-card feature, but its pricing page currently lists Repair as upcoming on the Premium (₹999) plan, so its billing status is not settled. If repair jobs are central to your shop, confirm the current position on Phoneo's pricing page, or during the free trial, before subscribing for that reason.
Phoneo vs Vyapar: Which One Should You Choose?
Neither wins outright. It comes down to which list describes your shop.
Choose Phoneo if:
- Your business is primarily a mobile phone shop, not general retail
- You need IMEI-wise inventory as the default, not an option you switch on
- You sell second-hand phones and need condition and purchase records per handset
- You stock accessories alongside phones and want them in one system
- You want several staff on their own logins without paying per seat
- You want a website or Phoneo.in listing without hiring a developer
- You prefer a small monthly bill to a yearly licence
Choose Vyapar if:
- Your primary need is general GST billing and accounting, not phone-specific stock
- You run a broader small business, or more than one, and want them in one tool
- You need e-way bills, Tally export or multiple companies
- You want a desktop-first setup on a Windows counter machine
- You want the lowest entry cost and a mobile-only licence covers your billing
- You are comfortable buying a one- or three-year licence up front
Phoneo vs Vyapar: Value for Money
Cheapest and lowest-cost are not the same. Vyapar's mobile-only licence is the lowest number on this page; whether it is the lowest cost depends on how much manual work it leaves behind.
- Count devices, not just the plan. A counter PC plus the owner's phone means Vyapar's desktop + mobile licence — ₹4,399–₹4,799 a year. Phoneo includes Unlimited Devices on every plan, including ₹99 Silver.
- Match the plan to the job. If billing is the job, Phoneo's real entry point is Gold at ₹299/month — comparing ₹99 against a Vyapar billing licence isn't like for like.
- Value the manual work removed. IMEI-wise stock, stock audit and dead-stock alerts replace counting and reconciling by hand, and that saving scales with handsets, not with the subscription.
- Cash flow counts. A ₹99–₹399 monthly bill is easier on a small shop than a ₹4,399 annual licence, even when the annual figure is lower per month.
- A long licence is a bet. Vyapar's 3-year licences cost less per month but lock you in for three years — good if you're settled, expensive if you outgrow the fit.
These are practical time and effort savings, not revenue guarantees. What any shop actually saves depends on its size, stock mix and current process.
Phoneo vs Vyapar: Pros & Cons
Both are legitimate choices for an Indian small business. Here is a fair reading of each.
Phoneo — pros and cons
- Pro: built around IMEI-wise stock, second-hand phones and accessories — native, not configured
- Pro: Unlimited Users and Unlimited Devices on every plan, so staff and counters add no cost
- Pro: monthly billing from ₹99, a 7-day trial with no card, and a 30-day refund policy
- Pro: Personal Website and Phoneo.in listing included at Gold and Diamond
- Con: billing starts at Gold (₹299/month), so the ₹99 plan is inventory only
- Con: no e-way bills, Tally export or multi-company support published
- Con: Repair, Multibranch and Finance are listed as upcoming on the pricing page
- Con: cloud-based, so it needs a working internet connection
Vyapar — pros and cons
- Pro: very low entry cost — a mobile-only Silver licence is ₹699 for a year
- Pro: strong general accounting — e-way bills, Tally export, multiple companies, party-wise P&L
- Pro: desktop apps for Windows and Mac alongside Android and iOS
- Pro: multi-user access with role-based permissions and an activity view
- Con: priced per device type, so desktop plus mobile costs several times the mobile licence
- Con: serial/IMEI tracking is a premium feature, and an item is tracked by serial or batch, not both
- Con: no published second-hand phone workflow — condition, purchase price and device images aren't named features
- Con: annual or three-year licences only, with no monthly option
This is an independent comparison written from each company's own published information. Phoneo and Vyapar are separate, unaffiliated products.
Phoneo vs Vyapar: Final Verdict
"Which is better?" only has an answer once you say what the software is for.
- Best for mobile-shop-specific management — Phoneo. IMEI-wise stock, accessories and second-hand handling are the product's core, and staff and devices are unlimited on every plan.
- Best for general billing and accounting — Vyapar. E-way bills, Tally export, multiple companies and desktop apps suit businesses whose main need is books and bills across more than phones.
- Best for second-hand mobile management — Phoneo, on published evidence: Vyapar holds a serial or IMEI number but publishes no used-phone workflow with condition, purchase price and device images.
- Best for a growing mobile shop — Phoneo if growth means more counters and handsets; Vyapar if it means more business lines or a second company.
- Best on lowest entry price — Vyapar, at ₹699 for a year on mobile only. Best on lowest cost per counter — Phoneo, because devices and users aren't charged separately.
If you are undecided, the cheapest test is the free trial. Phoneo's is 7 days with no credit card — long enough to load real stock, raise real bills and see whether the workflow matches your counter before any money changes hands.
Frequently asked questions
Is Phoneo cheaper than Vyapar?
It depends what you compare. Vyapar's mobile-only Silver licence is ₹699/year, below Phoneo Silver at ₹1,010/year. But Vyapar's desktop licences are ₹3,799–₹4,099/year and priced per device type, while Phoneo includes unlimited devices on every plan. For a shop running a counter PC and phones, Phoneo Gold at ₹3,050/year is usually the lower total.
What is the starting price of Phoneo?
Phoneo starts at ₹99/month for Silver (₹282 quarterly, ₹1,010 yearly). Gold is ₹299/month, Diamond ₹399, Premium ₹999, and Enterprise is custom-priced. Every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card.
What is Vyapar's current pricing?
As checked on 5 September 2026, Vyapar's discounted one-year prices were ₹699 (Silver) and ₹799 (Gold) for mobile only, ₹3,799 and ₹4,099 for desktop only, and ₹4,399 and ₹4,799 for desktop plus mobile. Three-year licences ran from ₹1,499 to ₹9,899. These are promotional prices, so confirm current figures on Vyapar's official pricing page.
Does Phoneo have a yearly plan?
Yes. Yearly billing saves 15% against the monthly rate — Silver ₹1,010/year, Gold ₹3,050, Diamond ₹4,070 and Premium ₹10,190. Quarterly billing saves 5%.
Does Vyapar have a yearly plan?
Yes — annual licences are Vyapar's standard model. It sells 1-year and 3-year licences rather than a monthly subscription, priced by whether you want mobile only, desktop only, or both.
Which is better for a mobile shop, Phoneo or Vyapar?
For a shop whose stock is phones, Phoneo generally fits better, because IMEI-wise inventory, second-hand handling and accessories are its core design. For a business that mainly needs GST billing and accounting across more than phones, Vyapar fits better. Choose on workflow, not the monthly figure.
Does Phoneo support IMEI management?
Yes. IMEI-wise stock tracking is part of Phoneo's core inventory management and is available from the Silver plan upward, so each handset is tracked as its own unit.
Does Vyapar support mobile shop inventory?
Yes. Vyapar handles inventory across many retail categories and supports serial number and IMEI tracking, which its documentation describes as a premium feature. Its guide notes an item is tracked either by serial number or by batch, not both.
Which is better for second-hand mobile shops?
Phoneo, based on published features. Used-phone selling needs each handset held individually with its IMEI, condition, purchase price, asking price and photographs. Phoneo is built around that; Vyapar supports serial/IMEI numbers but publishes no dedicated second-hand workflow.
Which software is better for staff management?
Both work, with different economics. Vyapar offers multiple users with role-based permissions and an activity view. Phoneo includes Unlimited Users and Unlimited Devices on every plan, including ₹99 Silver, and adds section-wise Staff Mode Login from Gold.
Does Phoneo provide a website?
Yes. A Personal Website is included from Gold (₹299/month) and a Phoneo.in listing from Diamond (₹399/month). Enterprise adds a fully custom, branded website on your own domain.
Does Phoneo support repair management?
Phoneo publishes a repair job-card feature, but its pricing page currently lists Repair as upcoming on the Premium (₹999/month) plan. If repair jobs are central to your shop, confirm the current status on the pricing page or during the free trial before subscribing for that reason.
Can I switch from Vyapar to Phoneo?
Yes, and you do it yourself. Export your stock from Vyapar and import it into Phoneo with AI bulk upload, which reads Excel, CSV, PDF and bill photos. Only inventory transfers — customer khata, supplier ledger and past invoices stay in Vyapar. A step-by-step guide is linked in Related below.
Is Phoneo suitable for small mobile shops?
Yes. Silver at ₹99/month is built for small or new shops that mainly need organised, IMEI-wise inventory. Note that Digital Invoice — GST and non-GST billing — starts from Gold, so pick Gold if billing is your first requirement.
Is Phoneo suitable for shops selling both new and used phones?
Yes. Phoneo's inventory covers new phones, second-hand or refurbished phones and accessories in one system, each handset tracked by IMEI, so a mixed counter doesn't need two sets of records.
