Online accounting with GST, multi-branch and CA collaboration.
RealBooks is a cloud accounting product from Adansa Solutions Private Limited, a company that started in 2012 as an accounts outsourcing firm. The team built the software first for its own outsourcing clients, ran a prototype in 2015 and launched RealBooks commercially in 2017. By 2020 it reported more than 5,000 users, and IndiaMART took a strategic stake in the company in 2022. That origin shows in the product: it is built around branch accounting, approvals and bill ageing, the things an accounts team handling several entities cares about, rather than quick counter billing.
The best fit is an Indian business with several branches, godowns or GSTINs that wants Tally-style books in the browser, with central control and per-location user visibility. Multi-branch consolidation, cost centres, MT940 bank reconciliation, cheque printing, TDS return filing through Excel or API, and e-way bill and e-invoice generation are all listed features. The Business and Enterprise editions add purchase requisitions, batches, multiple price lists, stock transfers, rule-based approvals and, at the top, bill of materials and manufacturing journals.
The weak points are price and transparency of the ecosystem. Every paid plan is quoted for a minimum of five users, so the Professional edition alone works out to Rs 4,000 a month, or Rs 40,000 a year, before GST. A sole proprietor who only needs GST invoices will find Vyapar, Munim or Zoho Books far cheaper. The features page names only bank connections (including Federal Bank for receipts) as integrations; there is no published app marketplace. We also found unrelated gambling content embedded on the realbooks.in homepage when we checked it in October 2026, which buyers may want to raise with the vendor.
Buying works in a simple way: start the 14-day single-user trial, which includes core accounting, branch accounting and bank reconciliation but not the mobile app, interest calculation or Excel uploads, then pick an edition and pay monthly or yearly. Yearly billing saves up to 20 percent, and each extra user is priced per plan. Prices exclude taxes, so add 18 percent GST to the figures on the pricing page.

RealBooks starts at Rs 4,000 a month or Rs 40,000 a year for the Professional edition, which covers five users. Business costs Rs 6,250 a month and Enterprise Rs 10,000 a month for the same five users. Extra users are charged per plan, from Rs 800 a month on Professional. These prices exclude taxes.
No. The RealBooks pricing page states that all prices exclude local taxes, so 18 percent GST is added to the subscription. A Professional yearly plan of Rs 40,000 therefore costs about Rs 47,200 including GST. Ask the vendor for a GST invoice so your business can claim input tax credit.
RealBooks has no free plan, but it offers a 14-day free trial with no payment needed. The trial is for one user and includes invoicing, branch accounting, bank reconciliation and core reports. It leaves out the mobile app, interest calculations, unlimited companies and Excel or API uploads, which start on paid plans.
Not on the published price list. Every RealBooks paid plan is priced for a minimum of five users, with additional users charged on top. That makes it a better fit for teams and multi-branch businesses than for a single owner. If you only need one login for GST billing, cheaper single-user tools are worth comparing first.
RealBooks is cloud-based, so branches log in through a browser and the head office sees consolidated figures in real time, with users restricted to their own locations. Tally Prime is desktop-first and needs remote access or sync for the same effect. RealBooks also adds approval hierarchies; Tally has a larger pool of trained accountants and add-ons.
Yes. The RealBooks features page lists e-way bill and e-invoice generation, management of multiple GSTINs in one place, TDS return filing through Excel or API, and automated compliance alerts. These sit inside the same ledger as branch accounting, so a business does not need a separate GST tool for these tasks.
Yes. The RealBooks FAQ says apps are available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, letting owners approve transactions and check dashboards and reports on the move. The mobile app is included from the Professional plan; it is not part of the free trial.
RealBooks says it hosts customer data on Amazon AWS, encrypts stored data with 256-bit encryption and keeps multiple levels of backup. Role-based permissions control who can view, edit or delete entries, and approvals can be required before posting. The vendor does not publish third-party certifications such as ISO 27001 on these pages.
