How we write these
Three editorial rules.
- 1. Never disparage. Every product compared here is a legitimate tool chosen by smart people. We tell the truth about where each is strong and where it isn't quite the right fit for an Indian MSME factory floor.
- 2. Be specific. "₹18,000 one-time Tally license" beats "affordable". "BOM versions with diff view" beats "advanced manufacturing features". Specifics build trust; marketing fluff erodes it.
- 3. Tell you when to skip us. Each comparison has a "When to pick <them> instead" section. We mean it. If you're a kirana store, Vyapar is the better choice. If you're a mid-market multi-entity group, SAP B1 may be. We'd rather lose a deal than mis-fit you.
