Easy Khata does one thing well — a clean digital register for udhaar. But shopkeepers outgrow a pure khata app fast. The sale still gets written somewhere else, the stock is a guess, and none of it is on the shop computer where you actually sit at the counter.
If that's you, here's a straight look at Sauda as an Easy Khata alternative.
The short version
Sauda is free, and it does khata plus the rest of the shop — billing, stock, accounts — in one app that runs offline on your phone and on a Windows PC.
- Khata / udhaar (lena–dena) for every customer and supplier, with a running balance like your bahi-khata.
- POS billing — scan a barcode or add an item, print or share the parchi, done.
- Inventory across shops and godams, low-stock and expiry alerts.
- Roznamcha, profit and party reports, backed by real double-entry accounting.
- Works fully offline; syncs across phone, desktop and web on its own.
No monthly fee, no card, no "upgrade to unlock."
Where Sauda beats a phone-only khata
The two things Easy Khata can't give you:
- A real desktop app. Sit at the counter PC and run the whole shop on a big screen and keyboard — not a phone app squeezed onto a monitor. The same data is on your phone too.
- One app instead of three. Billing, khata and stock in one place means your numbers actually agree with each other. No more "the register says one thing, the khata says another."
Easy Khata is fine if you only ever want a phone udhaar book. The moment you want billing, stock, or the shop computer involved, an all-in-one free app makes more sense.
Honest about the switch
Bring your parties and opening balances over (Excel import helps), and you're running in a few minutes. You keep your data — it exports to Excel any time — so there's no lock-in either way.
FAQ
Is Sauda free like Easy Khata?
Yes, free forever — no subscription and no card. Khata, billing, stock and reports are all included.
Does it run on a laptop or PC?
Yes. There's a real Windows desktop app (offline-capable) that syncs with the Android app — the main reason shopkeepers move over.
Is it hard to learn if I'm used to a simple khata app?
No. The selling and khata screens are kept simple on purpose; the accounting runs underneath without extra work from you.
What about my old udhaar records?
Enter each party's opening balance (or import from Excel) and carry on. Nothing is lost.
