Easy Hisab
Easy Hisab vs Money Manager: which should you use in India?
The short answer: for tracking your own spending in India, Easy Hisab is the better pick over Money Manager. An entry is one typed or spoken line in Hindi or English, or a photo, screenshot or statement PDF, instead of a form; and the dinner you paid for friends lives in the same app as your budget. Easy Hisab is always free for unlimited entries, groups and people; you pay only for AI use beyond the free monthly allowance. It works completely offline, so a trek, a village visit or a flight still gets recorded and syncs later; only AI reading of photos and statements waits for a connection. Money Manager is the better pick in one case: a detailed double-entry ledger of bank accounts, cards and recurring transfers that you type yourself and edit on a PC. We make Easy Hisab, so read the table and judge for yourself.

Why Easy Hisab: adding the entry is the whole job
- Type it or say it. “350 chai”, “auto 120 cash” or “Ramesh ko 500 diye” becomes a full entry: amount, category, date and anyone involved. No form.
- Reads bills, screenshots and statements. Photograph a bill, pick a UPI screenshot, or hand over the bank statement PDF your bank emailed; a month of spending lands in one sitting.
- Never reads your SMS inbox, never sells a loan. Easy Hisab asks for no SMS permission. There is no pay-later, no credit offer and no fund to buy.
- Budget, categories and trends. This month against your budget, totals by category, the trend over past months, and a spreadsheet export.
- Works completely offline. Everything is saved on the phone first; it syncs when you are back. Only AI reading waits for a connection.
- Money between people in the same place. The dinner you paid for four is one entry: your share goes to your spending, the rest to each friend's account.
| Each month | Free | Pro (₹99/month or ₹899/year) |

What Money Manager does better

- Edit on a PC. The paid version lets you view and edit the data from a computer over Wi-Fi.
- Passcode and Excel backup. A passcode lock, and backup and restore as an Excel file.
- On iPhone today. Money Manager is on Android and iPhone. Easy Hisab's iPhone app is in App Store review; until then iPhone users use it in the browser.
How to move from Money Manager
There is no import from Money Manager, and you do not need one. Start from this month, not from the history.
- Keep a Money Manager Excel backup if you want the old history.
- In Easy Hisab, set this month's budget.
- Pick last month's bank or card statement PDF to fill in recent spends in one sitting; two statements a month are free.
- If anyone has to pay you, or you have to pay someone, add one entry per person for that balance.
- From today, type or say each spend as it happens.
