Munafa Book vs Khatabook
Khatabook is best known as a free digital khata (credit ledger) used by millions of shops to record who owes what and send reminders. Munafa Book also keeps udhaar, but links it to wholesale billing and stock: every bill in cases and pieces updates both the shop's balance and your stock, with batch expiry and profit. If you only need a ledger, Khatabook is simple and free; if you also bill and manage stock as a wholesaler, Munafa Book keeps it all in one place.

Choose Munafa Book if…
- You want udhaar to come from your bills automatically, not typed separately.
- You also need stock in cases, expiry and real profit.
- You have a salesman who bills and collects.
Choose Khatabook if…
- You only want a free credit ledger and do billing elsewhere.
- You are a small shop rather than a wholesaler.
A ledger records money. A wholesaler also needs the goods side: what went out on which bill, at what cost, from which batch. When udhaar is typed separately from billing, the two drift apart. In Munafa Book the bill is the single entry - stock, the shop's balance and profit all come from it.
