VasyERP is a Reliance-backed, AI-driven cloud ERP built for multi-store retail chains, distribution, and manufacturing SMBs, with module-based pricing that scales with admins, users, and stores. OwnStore is a simple, mobile-first GST billing, inventory, and POS app built for a single shop owner who wants to start billing today, not after a product demo. Here's an honest comparison to help you choose the right fit in 2026.
VasyERP is a cloud-based, AI-driven retail and distribution ERP — acquired by Reliance Industries in 2021 — built for multi-store chains and omnichannel sellers who need WooCommerce/Shopify integration, multi-admin access, and manufacturing-grade inventory depth. OwnStore was built from the ground up as a lightweight, mobile-first app for a single shop owner who wants to bill, manage stock, and sell online without module pricing, multi-user admin setup, or a sales demo.
Everything OwnStore includes that you'll be comparing against VasyERP's feature set.
CGST/SGST/IGST auto-calculated on every invoice based on place of supply — fully GST compliant out of the box.
One-click GST return-ready reports so filing takes minutes, not hours spent exporting from a multi-module retail ERP.
Real-time stock tracking with automatic low-stock alerts so you never run out of fast-moving items.
Scan barcodes with your phone camera to bill and update stock in seconds — no separate scanner hardware needed.
Fast touchscreen billing built for shop counters — quick item search, quantity edit, and instant checkout.
Every account gets a free storefront at yourname.ownstore.app — no WooCommerce or Shopify integration to configure like on VasyERP.
Run several shops or brands from one login at no extra cost — VasyERP's multi-store access is tiered by admin/user count and plan.
Your billing data syncs automatically across devices, with nothing to install or manually back up.

VasyERP is sold as annual, module-based subscriptions that scale with the number of admins, users, and stores, plus GST. OwnStore is a subscription with a permanent free tier that includes mobile billing and cloud sync by default. Figures below are VasyERP's commonly published 2026 India list prices (excl. GST, per techjockey.com) — VasyERP's final quote depends on customization, store count, and deployment type, so always confirm current rates with VasyERP directly.
Note: VasyERP pricing shown (Lite from ₹12,999/yr, Starter from ₹23,999/yr, Pro from ₹29,999/yr, all excl. GST) reflects commonly published 2026 India list rates from techjockey.com; VasyERP also offers E-Lite (~₹32,999/yr) and Hybrid (~₹39,999/yr) tiers with more users and advanced sync, and final pricing is module-based and varies with customization, store count, and deployment. VasyERP offers a free demo rather than a permanent free tier. Vyapar pricing shown is its commonly published India rate. OwnStore's free plan has no time limit and no renewal fee to keep using it, and mobile billing plus cloud sync are included on every plan at no extra cost.
VasyERP has earned a strong reputation — especially after its 2021 acquisition by Reliance Industries — among multi-store retail chains, distributors, and manufacturing SMBs across India, the UAE, South Africa, and the UK. But that scale and depth come with tradeoffs that matter a lot to a single small shop just getting started.
VasyERP was designed primarily for businesses running multiple stores or an omnichannel operation — its plans are structured around admin and user counts (1 Admin on Lite, up to 2 Admin + 8 Users on Pro), multi-store management, and integrations with platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify. That's genuinely useful for a retail chain or distributor coordinating several locations, but it also means a single-shop owner ends up navigating module and user-tier decisions, and onboarding commonly starts with a product demo rather than instant self-signup. OwnStore was built the opposite way: a guided setup wizard gets a shop billing correctly within about 10 minutes, on a phone or laptop, with no modules to pick and no demo call required.
Pricing structure is another common friction point. VasyERP's published 2026 plans run from around ₹12,999/year (Lite, 1 Admin) up through ₹23,999 (Starter), ₹29,999 (Pro), and ₹32,999+ (E-Lite), excl. GST, with the final quote depending on customization, number of stores, and deployment type — there's no permanent free tier, only a free demo. OwnStore's free plan costs nothing and never expires for up to 100 invoices a month, and the ₹999/year Growth plan already includes mobile billing, barcode scanning, POS, and cloud sync — one flat number, no per-user or per-store math.
Finally, VasyERP connects to an online store through WooCommerce or Shopify integration rather than shipping one natively — a sensible choice for retailers already committed to one of those platforms, but extra setup for a shop that just wants to start selling online. OwnStore bundles a free, ready-to-use storefront at yourname.ownstore.app with every account, so a sale made online and a sale made at the counter both land in the same GST reports without connecting a separate e-commerce platform.
A quick decision guide based on what matters most to your business.
You run one shop, want to bill from a phone, or accept online orders alongside counter sales — all without picking a module tier, coordinating admin/user counts, or booking an onboarding demo.
You run a multi-store retail chain, distribution business, or light manufacturing operation that needs omnichannel sync with WooCommerce/Shopify and multi-admin access across locations.
You're a new or small retail shop that wants to try GST billing software without committing to an annual module-based subscription — OwnStore's free plan never expires, unlike VasyERP's yearly plans that start at ₹12,999.
You're already coordinating inventory and billing across several stores or an omnichannel storefront, and need the multi-admin, multi-user retail ERP structure VasyERP is purpose-built for.
An honest look at where each app wins and where it falls short.
If you run a single shop and want to bill from a phone, sell online without connecting a separate e-commerce platform, or simply avoid a module-based annual subscription — OwnStore is the simpler, more affordable fit for most small retail and service businesses in 2026. If you're coordinating billing and inventory across multiple stores, running an omnichannel WooCommerce/Shopify operation, or managing distribution/manufacturing stock, VasyERP's deeper multi-admin retail ERP is built for that scale. Many single-shop owners start on OwnStore and only look at a full retail ERP like VasyERP once they expand to multiple locations.
Everything you need to know when comparing OwnStore and VasyERP.
Yes. OwnStore offers a free plan that never expires (100 invoices/month, GST billing, and a built-in online store), while VasyERP is sold as yearly module-based subscriptions starting from around ₹12,999/year (Lite plan), with only a free demo rather than a permanent free tier. If you want to try full GST billing and inventory software without paying anything upfront, OwnStore is the more accessible starting point.
Both support some offline use. VasyERP is built to keep billing during internet outages and automatically syncs everything to the cloud once connectivity returns, which suits busy retail counters. OwnStore is cloud-native and caches recent data for short offline billing, but is designed to sync continuously across devices rather than run as a dedicated offline-first POS. If uninterrupted counter billing during frequent outages is your top priority, VasyERP's offline-sync model has an edge; for simple, lightweight billing from any device, OwnStore is built for that.
VasyERP is priced as annual, module-based subscriptions (excl. GST): Lite from around ₹12,999/year (1 admin), Starter from ₹23,999/year (1 admin + 2 users), Pro from ₹29,999/year (2 admin + 8 users), and E-Lite from ₹32,999/year (1 admin + 19 users), with a Hybrid plan around ₹39,999/year adding advanced sync — final pricing varies with customization, number of stores/users, and deployment type. OwnStore's free plan costs ₹0 with no expiry (100 invoices/month), and the paid Growth plan is ₹999/year with mobile billing, POS, and cloud sync included by default — no per-user or per-store add-on pricing to work out.
VasyERP is a cloud-based retail and distribution ERP that works across laptops, tablets, and mobile devices, with offline billing that auto-syncs to the cloud when the connection returns — it isn't a fixed desktop-only application like some older Indian billing software. OwnStore is also cloud-native from the ground up, built mobile-first for a single shop rather than multi-store retail chains, distribution, or manufacturing operations, which is VasyERP's core focus.
Yes. VasyERP offers a dedicated mobile app (Android and iOS) for billing, GST invoicing, POS, inventory, and CRM, positioned as a smart retail app for its multi-store customer base. OwnStore's Android app is the same product as the web app, built mobile-first from day one for a single small shop owner rather than a multi-location retail chain — both are genuinely mobile-capable, but aimed at different scales of business.
Yes. OwnStore auto-calculates CGST/SGST/IGST on every invoice and generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B ready reports for filing, matching VasyERP's core GST compliance capability. VasyERP additionally automates e-invoicing with IRN and QR code generation and e-way bill support as part of its retail/distribution compliance suite, built for higher-volume, multi-store businesses — depth that goes beyond what a single small shop typically needs.
OwnStore is easier for a typical single-shop owner. VasyERP's plans are module-based and scale with admins, users, and stores, with onboarding typically involving a product demo before you're fully set up — a natural fit for its target multi-store retail and distribution customers, but more than a single shop usually needs. OwnStore has a guided setup wizard that gets most single-shop businesses billing correctly within about 10 minutes, entirely in the browser or Android app, with nothing to install and no demo call required.
Not natively as a built-in storefront — VasyERP instead offers omnichannel integrations with platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify, so retailers already running one of those stores can sync inventory and orders. OwnStore gives every account a free, ready-to-use storefront at yourname.ownstore.app with no separate e-commerce platform to set up or connect, alongside GST billing.
