EasyBills vs GoFrugal

The GoFrugal alternative that charges by the order, not by the user

EasyBills is one cloud app for the whole restaurant: billing, captain ordering, the kitchen, stock, books, GST filing, payroll and a daily routine for every role, from ₹100 a month plus GST, with staff logins in the Operations module. GoFrugal keeps books too, but splits the work across separate apps and charges per user.

The short answer

Choose EasyBills if you want one app for the owner, the captains and the kitchen, GSTR-1 filed from inside it, and a bill that follows your orders, not your headcount. GoFrugal suits a business that wants an on-premise install, or a chain that needs central-kitchen and franchise management.

One app, or a stack of them

Questions

Can I move from GoFrugal to EasyBills?

Do I pay more when I add staff?
