TallyPrime for full books plus statutory filing on Windows; Fint for browser-based invoicing, bank matching and AI drafting with a human check.

Read more about The short answer

Pick TallyPrime if you want one package that keeps the full books and also handles the statutory work: e-invoice IRNs on saving a voucher, e-way bills, uploading and filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and GSTR-2B reconciliation. Your CA almost certainly knows it, and the licence can be bought outright.

Pick Fint if your day is spent raising invoices and quotes, capturing bills, matching bank lines and handing clean figures to your CA, and you want to do that in a browser from any machine. Fint keeps several sets of books under one login, prepares GSTR-1 tables and a GSTR-3B summary, and lets an AI agent draft records that stay out of every balance until a person confirms them. Fint does not file returns on the GST portal.

We make Fint, so read this with that in mind. TallyPrime's side comes from Tally Solutions' own pages, checked on 12 November 2026.

Where each one wins

TallyPrime wins on statutory completeness

e-Invoice, e-way bill and GST filing inside the software.

Read more about TallyPrime wins on statutory completeness

e-Invoices, e-way bills, return upload and filing, and 2B reconciliation all happen inside the software. For a business that wants one package for the books and the filing, that matters more than anything else on this page.

TallyPrime wins on familiarity

Most accountants in India already know it.

Fint is a web app, so an owner, an office manager and the CA can work in the same books from any browser without installing anything or renting a cloud desktop.

Fint wins on AI that cannot post on its own

The agent proposes; a person confirms every record.

Read more about Fint wins on AI that cannot post on its own

Fint's agent can read what its role allows and propose records, and it works with assistants such as Claude through MCP. It cannot record money, send invoices or change amounts; a person confirms each draft in the Inbox, and every change keeps an audit trail.

Fint wins for CA firms with many small clients

Every client's books under one login, with status at a glance.

One login holds every client's books, and the client list shows receivables, overdue amounts, open queries and filing status for each. GST is kept per book and never combined.

Using both

Keep Tally for the final books and filing, and move invoicing, bill capture and bank matching upstream.

Read more about Using both

Many businesses will keep TallyPrime for the final books and returns because their CA works in it. The slow part is usually upstream: raising invoices and quotes, collecting bills from WhatsApp and email, and matching the bank. That work can happen in Fint, with the CA receiving checked figures.

If you want the Tally side automated too, our GST and accounting automation work reads purchase bills, prepares entries for Tally and checks the figures behind GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, with a person confirming every entry. For document reading at volume, see invoice OCR.

Questions

Is Fint a Tally alternative?

For daily invoicing, expenses, bank matching and GST summaries, yes. For statutory filing from inside the software, no: Fint prepares GSTR-1 tables and a GSTR-3B summary but does not file on the GST portal, and it does not generate e-invoices or e-way bills.

Does TallyPrime run in a browser?

The desktop application is built for Windows. Tally's own TallyPrime Cloud Access runs the full application in a browser, including for Mac users, and needs a valid TallyPrime licence. Browser reports are available with active TSS, mainly for viewing and downloading.

Does Tally have AI?

Yes. Docs by Ira, part of TallyIra, turns invoices and PDF bank statements into draft entries that post only after review. Tally's page says it needs Release 7.1 or later and an active TSS.

Is Fint free?

Fint is free while it is in beta. Access starts with a demo: request one and an engineer will walk you through it on sample data.

Can old invoices come across from Tally?

Invoices from another system can be brought into Fint with their original numbers, and the agent can propose records from a spreadsheet in batches for you to confirm.
