Bilty vs Vyapar: Which Suits a Transport Business?

Vyapar is a capable general-purpose billing and accounting product, with mobile apps and e-way bill support. Bilty is narrower on purpose: it is built around the transport desk. Many transporters run daily operations in Bilty and keep general accounts with their CA.

Frequently asked questions

Can Vyapar be used for transport billing?

Yes, for plain GST invoices. Vyapar is general billing software, so LR-style consignment notes, lorry hire advances and truck document dates usually need workarounds. Bilty has them built in.

Can I use Vyapar and Bilty together?

Yes. Run dispatch, LRs and trips in Bilty, and export the GSTR-1 data and invoice register as CSV for whoever keeps your books in Vyapar.

Can I try Bilty before switching?

Yes. Bilty has a 14-day free trial with no card needed, so you can run it alongside Vyapar. See the pricing page for current plans.
