Jewellery Billing Software Price in India (2026): Off-the-Shelf vs Custom Build
Quick answer
Off-the-shelf jewellery billing software in India ranges from Vyapar at ₹4K/year (single counter, basic) to JewelEra/Reach at ₹50K–₹1.5L/year (multi-counter, light manufacturing). Custom-built jewellery billing software runs ₹3–6 lakh for single store, ₹6–12 lakh for multi-counter/multi-firm, plus ₹40K–1L/month maintenance. Break-even for custom is typically ₹1.5–2 Cr annual turnover — below that, off-the-shelf wins.
Jewellery billing software pricing in India runs across two zip codes — the ₹4,000/year shrink-wrapped SaaS world (Vyapar, basic Marg) and the ₹3–12 lakh custom-build world for jewellers who've outgrown the off-the-shelf shelf. Here's the honest break-down of what each one costs in 2026, what it includes, and how to figure out which side of the divide your shop sits on.
Off-the-shelf jewellery billing software — 2026 prices
| Software | Annual price (2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Vyapar (jewellery preset) | ₹4K – ₹6K | Single counter, < ₹50 L turnover |
| Marg Jewellery | ₹15K – ₹50K | 2–4 counters, ₹50 L – ₹2 Cr |
| JewelEra (Diaspark) | ₹50K – ₹1.5L | Multi-counter retail, ₹1 Cr+ |
| Reach Accountant Jewellery | ₹40K – ₹1L | Multi-store retail, stock-heavy |
| Hyper Drive | ₹40K – ₹1L | Light manufacturing + retail |
| Custom (ERIONT) | ₹3–12 L build + maint. | ₹2 Cr+ multi-store, multi-firm, integrations |
Pricing approximate, sourced from each vendor's 2026 listings. Implementation, per-counter add-ons, and customisation often billed separately. Verify with the vendor before signing.
What you actually get at each tier
₹4K–₹30K/year tier (Vyapar, Marg basic)
- Tag-based billing with manual gold rate entry
- GST split (3% bullion + 18% making) on the invoice
- Basic customer ledger, no karigar advance tracking
- Single-user or 2-user licence
- WhatsApp share, thermal print, A4 print
- Limited or no Tally integration
Fine for a single-counter retailer doing under ₹50 lakh annual turnover. Stop reading the rest of this article if that's you — Vyapar is the right answer, you don't need custom anything.
₹40K–₹1.5L/year tier (JewelEra, Reach, Marg pro, Hyper Drive)
- Multi-counter, multi-user, role-based access
- Live gold rate API integration (MCX / IBJA)
- Karigar advance, jamatag schemes, customer 360
- Multi-store transfer slips (in higher tiers)
- Tally / GST integration
- Some manufacturing or workshop modules (Hyper Drive, JewelEra)
- Implementation usually requires the vendor's team for setup
Right for jewellers in ₹50 lakh – ₹2 Cr annual turnover. The per-counter licence math gets expensive past 5–6 counters.
₹3L–₹12L custom build tier (ERIONT or a comparable custom shop)
- Built exactly around your workflow, not a generic preset
- Unlimited counters, users, firms, locations — no licence multipliers
- Custom integrations — your existing Tally, your existing website, your custom karigar app, your design library
- Full source code ownership, no vendor lock-in
- Maintenance covers GST rule changes, BIS updates, feature additions
- One-time build cost amortised over 3–7 years of use
Right for jewellers above ₹2 Cr annual turnover, especially multi- store, multi-firm, or manufacturer-cum-retailer setups.
The honest break-even math
Take a 5-counter jeweller paying ₹1L/year for JewelEra. Over 5 years, that's ₹5 lakh in subscription fees alone — and the SaaS still doesn't do their custom hallmark batch reporting, their custom karigar advance settlement workflow, or their Tally extension. A ₹5 lakh custom build that does exactly what they need, plus ₹50K/month maintenance (= ₹30 lakh over 5 years) = total ₹35 lakh.
On the surface, SaaS wins (₹5L vs ₹35L). But:
- Maintenance retainer often replaces 1–2 in-house staff doing manual reconciliation (₹4–8 lakh/year saved).
- Custom workflows save 5–15 hours/week across counters and back- office (₹3–6 lakh/year saved).
- Better stock control reduces shrinkage 1–3% (₹2–10+ lakh/year saved on stock value).
Total annual recovery: ₹9–24 lakh. Net of the maintenance retainer (₹6L/year), custom pays back in 12–24 months. Above ₹2 Cr turnover. Below it, the savings don't justify the build.
When custom is the wrong answer
- Single counter, < ₹50 L turnover. Vyapar or basic Marg is genuinely the right pick. Custom is a distraction and a cash drain at your scale.
- You can't commit to a senior-led vendor with 5+ year maintenance. A custom build abandoned mid-life becomes a liability — orphan code, no support, no upgrades.
- Your workflow is standard. If JewelEra or Reach does 90% of what you need, the last 10% is usually cheaper to manually work around than custom-build.
The verdict
Most jewellers in India should pay ₹4K–₹1L/year for an off-the-shelf jewellery billing system. Multi-store, multi-firm, manufacturer-cum- retailer jewellers above ₹2 Cr annual turnover with integration needs should evaluate custom — ₹3–12 lakh build + ₹40K–1L/month maintenance, paying back in 12–24 months through stock control, staff time, and subscription savings.

Frequently asked
What's the cheapest jewellery billing software for a small Indian jeweller in 2026?
Vyapar with the jewellery preset is the cheapest credible option — ₹4,000–₹6,000/year for a single-user licence in 2026. It handles tag-based billing, gold rate entry, GST split (3% bullion / 18% making), and basic customer ledger. Good enough for under-₹50-lakh-annual-turnover single-counter retailers. Above that, you'll start hitting limits and need to step up.
How much does Marg jewellery billing software cost?
Marg's jewellery edition starts around ₹15,000–₹30,000/year per user in 2026, with enterprise tiers reaching ₹50K–1L/year for multi-counter or multi-store deployments. Implementation and customisation are typically billed separately. Suits jewellers in the ₹50 lakh to ₹2 Cr annual turnover band who want more than Vyapar but aren't ready for custom.
What about JewelEra, Reach, and Hyper Drive?
JewelEra (by Diaspark): ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh/year for retail; enterprise pricing on request. Reach Accountant Jewellery: similar range, with a stronger inventory-and-stock-take module. Hyper Drive: ₹40K–1L/year, with manufacturing capability. All three target the ₹2 Cr+ turnover jeweller — multi-counter, multi-firm, with light manufacturing or workshop integration.
What does custom jewellery billing software cost?
Custom-built jewellery billing software starts at ₹3–6 lakh for a single-store deployment, scales to ₹6–12 lakh for multi-counter / multi-firm, and adds ₹3–6 lakh for e-commerce sync. Maintenance runs ₹40K–1L/month. This is the right path when your turnover is ₹1–2 Cr+ and the ₹50K–1L/year SaaS limits start costing more than the custom amortisation.
Why is custom jewellery billing 100× more expensive than Vyapar?
Different products. Vyapar is shrink-wrapped SaaS — built once, sold to thousands of shops, supported via FAQ. Custom is built for your specific workflow, integrated with your specific systems (Tally, website, Shopify), owned by you, supported by humans who know your business. The economics differ because the underlying engineering hours differ — a custom build is 600–1,500 person-hours of senior engineering, plus ongoing maintenance.
When does custom jewellery billing actually pay back?
Three indicators: (1) annual turnover ₹1.5–2 Cr+ where SaaS subscription fatigue exceeds custom amortisation; (2) multi-store or multi-firm operations where SaaS friction (multiple logins, manual reconciliation) eats real hours; (3) integration needs the SaaS doesn't support — custom website / Shopify, custom Tally extensions, custom karigar workflow, custom hallmark batch reporting. Without at least one of these, stay on Vyapar or Marg.
What's the hidden cost of jewellery billing SaaS?
Three usually-ignored costs: (a) per-user/per-counter licence multipliers — a 5-counter store paying ₹50K/year quickly becomes ₹2.5L/year; (b) data lock-in — exporting your customer ledger, karigar advance, and stock history out of an SaaS is painful and sometimes impossible; (c) feature ceilings — when the SaaS doesn't ship a feature you need (custom GST rules, custom hallmark batch logic), you're stuck waiting or paying for development that may never happen.
