A Vyapar alternative
built only for textile shops.
Vyapar is a popular, well-priced billing app that serves grocery, pharmacy, jewellery and cloth shops from one product. Kapda Stock does one trade: fabric and garments. Here is an honest, sourced comparison for a textile counter — including where Vyapar is the better pick.
Vyapar vs Kapda Stock, feature by feature
The Kapda Stock column links to the docs page that describes the feature. The Vyapar column is what their own public pages list as of 16/09/2026; “Not listed” means we could not find it there — not that it does not exist.

When Vyapar is the better choice
- You want a free Android app and never bill from a PC.
- You run more than one kind of shop — say a grocery and a cloth counter — and want one tool across them.
- You mostly need accounting-style features (cash flow, expenses, multiple businesses) rather than textile stock control.
When Kapda Stock is the better choice
- You sell fabric by the metre and need every thaan and remnant counted.
- Udhaar is a real share of your sales and you want it collected without chasing.
- You send work to karigars and want that fabric and those wages tracked.
- Your staff or customers read Urdu or Kashmiri.
- You want one price with every feature, not a feature ladder.

Moving from Vyapar
Export your item list to Excel, map it to the bulk import template, enter customer opening balances so the udhaar ledger starts correct, and run both systems side by side for a few days. The 30-day switching plan covers it week by week, and your CA keeps getting a Tally XML export if that is what they file from.
