Tally alternative

A Tally alternative that works the way Tally users already work

Bilzy is a Tally alternative with a Tally-style look built in. Press Ctrl+Alt+T and the screen becomes a Gateway with Masters, Vouchers, Day Book, Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss; F8 is a sale, F9 a purchase, F6 a receipt, F5 a payment, Ctrl+A accepts and Esc goes back. Underneath it is the same Bilzy — GST billing in seconds, stock, udhaar, a phone app on the same account and a free online store — for ₹999 a year, with a free plan.

It is for the shop that wants Tally's keyboard and Tally's books without Tally's setup. One login keeps up to three businesses, each with its own GSTIN and bill series, and the same keys switch back to the simple Bilzy look whenever you like — each computer keeps its own choice.

The keys you already know

The look is a whole application, not a skin: the menus, the vouchers and the reports are laid out the way a Tally user expects, and the keys do what they expect.

Gateway of Bilzy — Masters, Transactions, Utilities and Reports, with the underlined letter as the key
F8 Sales, F9 Purchase, F6 Receipt, F5 Payment, F4 Contra, F7 Journal, Ctrl+F8 Credit Note, Ctrl+F9 Debit Note
Alt+C creates a ledger or a stock item from inside a voucher; Ctrl+A accepts; Esc goes back
F2 changes the date or period, F3 the company, F11 the features, F12 the configuration
Lists open down the right; type to narrow, Enter to choose — the whole voucher on the keyboard

Books, not just bills

Every sale, purchase, receipt and payment posts to the ledgers by itself, so the books are there without a single journal entry.

Day Book, Ledger Vouchers (a party's statement), Cash and Bank books
Trial Balance, Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss, with a detailed view
Outstanding receivables and payables, bill by bill, with ageing
Stock Summary, Sales and Purchase registers, Ratio Analysis
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from the bills themselves
The bill prints as a TAX INVOICE in the layout Tally users know; F12 picks a Bilzy design instead

What a counter needs that a ledger does not

Barcode billing and a keyboard-only counter
A phone app on the same account — the stock is moved by the server, so the two never disagree
Bills save with the internet down and go up when it is back
Udhaar reminders on WhatsApp with the figure already written
Staff logins that see the counter and not the profit
A free online store on bilzy.in that takes orders into the same stock

Up to three businesses on one login

A shop and its wholesale firm, or two shops — each business keeps its own GSTIN, bill series, stock, parties and books, and F3 moves between them. One business is ₹999 a year; two are double less ₹100 a year; three are triple less ₹150 a year.

Where Tally is still the right tool

It would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. If your CA keeps your books inside Tally, if you file TDS or run statutory payroll, or if you need more than three companies or branches sharing one stock, Tally is built for that. Plenty of shops bill in Bilzy and hand the accountant the Excel.

Questions

Is Bilzy made by Tally?

No. Bilzy is its own software, made in India for shops. Its Tally-style look borrows the way Tally users work — the Gateway, the F-keys, the vouchers — so a shop that knows Tally is at home on the first day.

Does Bilzy have the same shortcut keys as Tally?

The everyday ones: F8 Sales, F9 Purchase, F6 Receipt, F5 Payment, F4 Contra, F7 Journal, Ctrl+F8 and Ctrl+F9 notes, Alt+C to create, Ctrl+A to accept, Esc to go back, F2 for the date, F3 for the company, F11 and F12 for features and configuration.

How do I switch between the Tally look and the normal look?

Ctrl+Alt+T, from anywhere — or Settings → Theme & look. The choice is kept on each computer, so the accountant's PC can stay in the Tally look while the counter keeps the simple one.

Can I move my data from Tally?

Items, customers and suppliers can be brought in from an Excel sheet, matched column by column. Old bills are usually left where they are — they are already filed — and Bilzy starts from the day you switch.

Will my accountant accept this?

They get the same figures they get from anywhere: Day Book, ledgers, Trial Balance, rate-wise GST, party statements, purchase and sale registers — on screen, or as Excel.

Is Bilzy really free?

There is a free plan and it is a real one — you can bill, keep stock and read reports on it without a card. The paid plan is ₹999 a year, or ₹99 a month, and unlocks the rest.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Bills are made and saved on the machine and go up when the connection comes back. A shop in a market with a bad signal is not a shop that stops billing.

Can I use it on the phone and the computer together?

Yes, on the same account. Items, parties and bills are the same on both, and the stock is moved by the server so the two cannot drift apart.

Will it work on my old computer?

It runs on Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, and the installer is about 4 MB. It does not need a powerful machine.

Can my staff use it without seeing my profit?

Yes. A staff login is given the screens you choose. Profit and purchase cost are their own permission, so the counter can bill all day and never see what an item cost you.
