Your business, on autopilot.

Yes. Export your company from Tally as XML and import that file — ledgers, parties, items and opening balances come across together, and you can bring vouchers with them. Most single-company migrations are done in an afternoon, including the time to check the opening balances landed where you expect.

Your books are stored and processed in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1), with automated encrypted backups. One exception, stated plainly: when you use the AI assistant, that request — and the business context it needs to answer, such as the party or item names on your screen — is sent to our model provider, whose processing happens outside India. Everything else, including all storage, stays in the Mumbai region. If your business cannot send data outside India at all, the assistant is the feature to leave switched off.

Yes. ReadyBooks.ai is built for manufacturing and trading businesses. Multi-warehouse stock, batch and expiry tracking, Bill of Materials (BoM), work orders, job costing, scrap, and yield tracking are all native modules — not bolted on through a separate app or a third-party plugin.

All pricing is in INR, exclusive of 18% GST (added at checkout). No setup fee, no migration fee, and no per-invoice charge — raise as many as your plan allows. The one thing that is metered is the government-portal work: each plan includes a monthly allowance of e-invoices (IRN) and e-way bills, and if you go past it you can buy a top-up pack rather than being moved to a bigger plan. Your plan price is otherwise exactly what you pay.

Yes. ReadyBooks.ai has a free plan with core GST invoicing, GST reports, and AI bill scanning — no credit card required to start. Paid plans begin at ₹499 per month (Lite, single-user) and unlock GST return preparation and exports, e-invoicing and e-way bills; team seats start on Mini with 5 pooled across your businesses, and Pro adds payroll and manufacturing. See the pricing page for current limits.

Yes — native iOS and Android apps are live on the App Store and Google Play, included on every plan. If you would rather not install anything, readybooks.ai is fully mobile-friendly in any phone browser: raise invoices, scan bills, check cash flow, and chat with the AI assistant from there too.

No. Your books are not used to train any AI model. The assistant reads what it needs to answer the question in front of it — the screen you are on, the parties and items it has to name — and that is the end of it. There is no training set built from your invoices, your ledger or your customers.

No. Every action that writes stops at an approval you have to click. The assistant prepares the change, shows you the exact figures it will save — party, line items, GST split, the total to the paisa — and nothing reaches your books until you approve that preview. Walk away mid-run and nothing is saved; there is no timeout that says yes for you. Reads are different: asking what you sold this month needs no approval because it changes nothing.

You see it before it is saved, and you can trace it after. Every row in the audit trail records whether a person, the assistant, or a scheduled job made the change, and an AI-made change links back to the exact conversation that produced it — so you can open the exchange rather than guess. Business documents are hard-deleted in India for compliance reasons, which is precisely why the audit row survives the document.

Every paid plan. The AI assistant is switched off on the Free plan — Free gives you 10 invoices a month, GST billing, inventory and the mobile apps, but not the assistant. It turns on from Lite up, with 200 AI credits a month on Lite, 500 on Mini and 2,500 on Pro.

Yes. Write to it in the language you think in and it answers in that language — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Urdu and Odia all work. Ask "इस महीने का GST liability क्या है?" in Hindi, "என் cash position என்ன?" in Tamil, or "નફો કેટલો છે?" in Gujarati — the AI answers in the same language with the actual numbers from your books. Conventional English accounting terms (GST, ITC, GSTR-1, TDS) are preserved because that is how Indian accounting terminology works.

ReadyBooks.ai is built to the DPDP Act, 2023 and aligned to GDPR: your data is stored in India, encrypted at rest and in transit, access is role-based per document, and you can export everything or delete your account permanently at any time from inside the product. We do not hold a third-party compliance certification today, and we will not claim one until an auditor has issued it.
