Swipe alternative

Looking for a Swipe alternative?

Swipe is a broad business app: GST billing, quotations, purchase orders, POS and inventory, plus e-invoicing, e-way bills, an online store and integrations with Shopify and Tally, on phone, web and Windows. BillZap is narrower on purpose. It makes the GST bill, collects by UPI QR and works with no internet or account, and every part of it is free.

Why shops look for a Swipe alternative

More than a counter needs

An online store, e-commerce integrations and multi-platform sync are real value for a business selling in several places. For a single shop billing walk-in customers, they are menus to scroll past.

Paid tiers for the bigger features

Swipe has a free plan, and paid tiers above it. Shops that only make bills want to know they will never be asked to upgrade.

Cloud first

Swipe keeps your books in an account so they sync across devices. BillZap keeps them on one phone, which is less flexible and needs no connection or login.

What BillZap does differently

One job, done quickly

A bill from a saved customer and catalogue in about thirty seconds, or spoken in one of twelve languages.

No upgrade path

Every feature is in the free app. There is no tier above it to be nudged towards.

Offline from the first launch

Nothing about billing waits on a network or a server.

Clear GST working

CGST + SGST or IGST chosen from the place of supply and shown before you save, with HSN codes saved against each item.

Where Swipe is the better choice

Swipe is the better choice for businesses that need e-invoices and e-way bills, sell through an online store or Shopify, push data into Tally, or bill from an iPhone, the web or Windows. BillZap does none of those. It is the better choice only when what you need is the GST bill itself, free and offline.

How to switch from Swipe to BillZap

Keep Swipe for your past records. Finish the month in Swipe, and keep it installed for the invoices and reports you have already made there.
Set up your shop in BillZap. Install it from Google Play and enter the shop name, GSTIN, UPI ID and bank details. It takes about a minute, with no sign-up.
Start a new invoice series. Set an invoice prefix such as BZ- in settings, so every number stays unique for the financial year and never clashes with your old ones.
Add items and customers as they come. Save each item once with its HSN code and GST rate, and each regular customer with their GSTIN. After the first week most bills are a few taps.
Hand your CA both sets. For the month you switch, send Swipe’s report for the days before and BillZap’s GSTR-1 summary for the days after.
