Looking for a LiveKeeping alternative?
LiveKeeping is a capable Tally mobile app, and for many owners it is enough. People usually look for an alternative for one of a few reasons: they want the sales team on the app, they want orders checked before they reach Tally, they need dealer rates or branded documents, or they want a longer trial before paying. Here is how to judge the options.
- A role for each team member
- Approval before Tally
- Dealer rates and branded docs
- 14-day free trial

The short verdict
Both can be the right answer. It depends on who in your business needs what.
Cashflow OS
Choose Cashflow OS if…
More people than the owner and accountant need the app, salespeople take orders, rates differ by dealer, or you send quotations and challans. It covers the same core books and e-invoicing on the same yearly base-plan figures, with selling modules priced on top.
LiveKeeping
Choose LiveKeeping if…
Stay with LiveKeeping if your needs are reports, reminders and e-invoicing for the owner and an accountant. As of November 2026 it also lists an iPhone app on the App Store, 35+ reports, customer greetings and scheduled backups through its connector.

An honest view: when the other option could be the better choice for you.

What LiveKeeping does well
As listed on its site and Play page in November 2026: mobile and web access, a Data Connector on the Tally PC, 35+ reports, WhatsApp ledger PDFs, reminders over WhatsApp, SMS and email, customer greetings, vouchers from the phone, e-invoice and e-way bill, Checker Maker, GPS sales tracking, unlimited companies and scheduled backups. It has a clear plan ladder: Growth ₹3,000 (read-only), Pro ₹5,000 (entries) and Pro Plus ₹7,000 (e-invoice and e-way bill) a year plus GST, with 25% off on three years and a 7-day trial.
If your needs are reports, reminders and e-invoicing for the owner and an accountant, it is worth staying. If your needs have grown past that, read on.

Common reasons owners look elsewhere
- More people need logins. LiveKeeping’s Growth plan is for the admin only and Pro includes one extra user; more users are ₹2,500 a year each per company. If six people need the app, the user count drives the cost.
- Salespeople need their own view. A field team needs customers, items, visits and orders — not the company’s accounts.
- Rates depend on the dealer. Price lists by dealer type stop rate mistakes at the source.
- Customers want to order themselves. A catalogue link or an online store built from Tally items.
- Quotations and challans must look like your brand.
- The team works in Hindi.
What to check in any alternative
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Reports match Tally | A P&L that differs from Tally’s by even a small amount destroys trust in the app |
| Entries are created by Tally | Tally’s own validation should apply, and rejected entries should come back with a reason |
| Roles per person | A salesperson should see only their own customers |
| Approval before posting | Wrong orders should be caught before they become Tally vouchers |
| Connector updates itself | Nobody wants to visit the Tally PC for every update |
| Price for your real team | Per-user and per-module charges change the total |
| Trial length | A week is short to test with a real team |
A worked cost example: five people
Suppose the owner, the accountant and three salespeople all need the app, on one Tally company. On LiveKeeping’s published pricing in November 2026, Pro at ₹5,000 includes the admin and one free user; three more users at ₹2,500 each add ₹7,500, so about ₹12,500 a year before GST.
For any alternative, do the same sum: base plan, extra users, modules you actually need, GST, and the term. With Cashflow OS, the base plans carry the same yearly figures; the field force and price-list modules for the salespeople are priced on top, so ask for a written quote before comparing. Then set the total against the work it removes — orders no longer re-typed, statements sent in seconds, fewer calls to the office asking for a party’s balance.
How Cashflow OS compares
Cashflow OS covers the same core — mobile and web, Tally books, 20+ reports with P&L and Balance Sheet that match Tally, entries into Tally, e-invoice and e-way bill on Pro+, WhatsApp statements and reminders — on the same yearly figures for its three plans: Growth ₹3,000, Pro ₹5,000, Pro+ ₹7,000, and up to 25% off for three years. The trial is 14 days.
Where it goes further:
- Team: roles for owner, admin, accountant, staff and salesperson; approval for staff orders (team roles).
- Field: attendance, GPS visits, route plans, geofence, dealer map, leave, performance (field force).
- Selling: dealer price lists, branded quotations, proforma and challans, catalogue link and hosted store, CRM leads, service jobs, referrals.
- Alerts: a push when vouchers are added, changed or deleted in Tally, and an evening day summary.
- Language: Hindi and English in the app; Hinglish on the website.
Where LiveKeeping is ahead today: an iPhone app on the App Store (Cashflow OS’s is coming), 35+ reports, customer greetings, and scheduled backups through its connector.
Switching without disruption
- Keep your current app running until the new one is proven.
- Install the Cashflow OS Tally Connector on the same Tally PC; it reads the companies already open in TallyPrime. The setup guide takes about ten minutes.
- Leave writing into Tally switched off in Cashflow OS at first; compare reports and balances for a few days.
- Move one group at a time — say, salespeople first — and switch writing on only in one app.
- Cancel the old subscription when the team has fully moved.
Your Tally data does not move anywhere: both apps read the same TallyPrime companies.
A quick self-test
Answer yes or no: Do more than two people need the app? Do salespeople take orders? Do rates differ by dealer? Do you send quotations or challans? Would customers order from a link? If you answered no to all five, LiveKeeping (or Tally’s own browser access) is probably all you need. If you answered yes to two or more, try Cashflow OS with your team for the 14-day trial. Our detailed comparison has the full table.
